I’m not a business guru.

I built a salon from scratch, scaled it, survived Covid… and then lost £180,000 because I trusted the wrong people, ignored the warning signs, and burned myself out trying to hold everything together.

180K GONE isn’t a success story. It’s the reality most people don’t talk about — what actually happens when things go wrong.

I wrote this while rebuilding my life from Barcelona, focusing on creating something simpler, smarter, and sustainable.

If you’re running a business, thinking about starting one, or feel like you’re stuck in something that’s draining you — this is for you.
