Show notes
Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast! The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs. In this episode In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with serial entrepreneur, Lara Morgan, about how, over 17-years, she built a high-end toiletries business that she sold for £20 million, and how that experience, coupled with some powerful advice from her Mum, lead her to create her current business 'Scentered', and to invest in businesses that bring more wellness into the world. Growing up in Hong Kong the daughter of two entrepreneurs gave Lara the inspiration to start her own business, but not before building a career in sales that gave her important skills that helped fuel her later success. It was the recession of '91 that prompted Lara to start her first business. With few jobs available for sales people, she decided to make one for herself. Listen to this episode to learn more about Lara's journey to date, and her insights and advice for other business owners looking to build success - without sacrificing their wellbeing. Highlights In this episode you'll learn: Why entrepreneurs need to learn to Stop, Inhale and Reset regularly. The key to wealth and success in enterprise, that's too often overlooked. Why women in business need to think differently about balance. Why you must do what's right for you and leave the guilt behind. How to build a loyal team that will grow with your business. How it's our choices that create our successes of failures, we need to own them. Why it's so important to keep an eye on your numbers at all times.
