How Alison Cork Grew Her World of Interior Design

02/03/18 • 58 min

Our studio guests today were the entrepreneur and TV presenter, Alison Cork and her publicity specialist, Donna Lambert.
Having built her interior design and lifestyle empire, and being the first women to float her company on the UK stock exchange and sit as a board member, Alison has recently founded the not-for-profit initiative, Make It Your Business.
“Make It Your Business” is a massive collaborative programme created to help women start and grow their business.
Listen in to find out more about Make It Your Business; how to join for free; get help from and learn from already successful women business owners who are also keeping it real.
Plus, it's available globally, which means wherever you are, there is support for you as a woman in business.
Also in the show, we talk to communications and publicity expert Donna Lambert who left the corporate world of marketing to start her own business and now works alongside Alison.
Alison and Donna join in with our pre-amble discussion about recommended business books, tips to grow your business and of course we hear the stories of how they launched and built their companies and how Alison realised her dream of creating a World Of Interiors alongside her Radio and TV career.
As if that wasn't a packed show already, we also hear from Tracy Fance for the regular monthly spiritual business insights.

How To Stop Saying You Can't with Toccara Steele

We had a varied show today starting off with GDPR - basically, what you must now do if you are handling information about other people.
GDPR may not be sexy, it may not be fun, you may not want to do it, but if you're going to do business in the UK, then you have to comply. Thanks to Nick Bird, CRM expert for sharing how you can do that.
In the second half of the show, Toccara Steele joined us from the USA and wowed us with her energy, inspiration, how she founded a women’s leadership group and of course How To Stop Saying You Can’t.
Along the way she gave us some new ideas for holding events (which we are going to be copying!) and just a whole load of motivation to get out there and get going with your own business.
