I met Vanessa from Celle Skin on the first episode of series one of Shark Tank Australia – her journey is exciting and this episode we have a discussion on personal strategy for growth. What does a founder need to do to have a successful business? When do you stop doing everything yourself and get ‘experts’ to help?

Scaling a business using outsourcing, not just employees can deliver material scale. How does an entrepreneur get out of their own way to stop doing everything and get others to bring different skills? Celle Skin is creating a new market for wearable beauty in response to customer trends, how do you track trends?

How can an entrepreneur be supported in these difficult times? Mental health for business owners is critically important and we discuss where an how to be supported, as well as the importance of positive language. And why I have a personal theme each year.
