The Dragon’s Den with Karrina Oldale
From Business to Dragons and back again with a delightful local businesswoman full of character and a desire to succeed. Karrina is one of the few to have turned down the Dragon's offer in the Den but she didn’t turn down the offer to be on this week's Sweat, Grit & Hustle to tell her amazing story.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In 2012 Karrina hit our screens on the TV show Dragon’s Den. She was supposed to start recording at 12, but was kept in a green room until 6pm so she spent that 6 hours pacing the room learning her pitch to a tee. In the end she got an offer from a Dragon but had the conviction to turn down a deal that wasn’t good enough for her.
- After a bad experience with a client, Karrina now uses stage payments and contracts for large jobs. You need to dot the i’s and cross the t’s otherwise people will try and take advantage of you.
- Before going into the travel business, Karrina was organising a trip to Australia but her husband said he didn’t want to fly for more than 8 hours at a time. She ended up booking 15 different flights and absolutely loved it.
- Karrina is a mixture of sweat, grit and hustle. You have to have the grit to do it, and that makes you sweat, and if you don’t hustle then you get nothing.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You’re going to places where you don’t even speak the language and you’re winning negotiations’
‘You wouldn’t expect to pay £1 a month for chicken’
‘To become a travel agent with some companies it can cost up to £12,000’
