I recently had the fantastic opportunity to join Jon and Sally on the new BBC Breakfast studio. It was an exhilarating experience to discuss my journey with Trunki, the resilience it took to build the brand, and to share a bit about my latest book, "65 Roses and a Trunki: Defying the Odds in Life and Business."
Sitting in the BBC Breakfast studio, I was reminded of the early days of Trunki and the roller coaster of emotions that came with it. From the initial rejection on Dragons' Den to the subsequent rise to global recognition, it's been an incredible journey. Jon and Sally were keen to explore these aspects, particularly focusing on the resilience required to navigate such a dynamic path.
We delved into what resilience means in the world of entrepreneurship. For me, resilience has been about staying true to my vision, even in the face of setbacks and challenges. It's about adapting, learning, and never losing sight of the end goal. This part of our discussion was particularly close to my heart, as it resonates with the core message of my book.
Of course, I couldn't miss the chance to talk about my book, "65 Roses and a Trunki." It was a light-hearted moment to 'plug' it on the show, but the book itself delves into deeper themes. It's a chronicle of the lessons I've learned in life and business, a story of defying odds, and an insight into the journey of a product that became a household name.
Being on BBC Breakfast was not just an opportunity to reflect on my journey but also a chance to reach out to aspiring entrepreneurs and individuals facing their battles. I hope my story and the insights shared in my book can inspire and guide others in their endeavors.
Thank you to Jon, Sally, and the BBC Breakfast team for having me. It was a delightful experience, and I look forward to future engagements where I can continue to share my story and lessons learned.
