The Business Spotlight with Fidelma Greene

In this series of interviews, Elaine reaches out to service based businesses who are doing things differently. She loves to hear from coaches, consultants, service providers who packed in the day job and went for it. What lessons did they learn, what went well, what didn't go so well! Where did they find their first clients, what marketing strategy did they enjoy, what didn't work for them? What are their business values?

Elaine is on a mission to show you that you can do it! That it's possible. By talking to lots of different people who have gone in their own direction and are creating a life out of the usual 9 to 5.
