From Farmer's Daughter to Global Success! Gilly’s interview on the Sweat Grit and Hustle Podcast with Tracy Cartland-Ward

In this episode of Osteobizness, the roles are reversed as we get to hear Gilly be interviewed by Tracy Cartland-Ward of the Sweat Grit & Hustle Podcast!, 

Join the discussion on how to balance business and family life, and how you can overcome adversity to start again and make something better. Do you think you can sweat, grit, and hustle your way into finding the right gaps in the market?

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Gilly’s first solo business was making ready meals for parents at her children’s international school in Athens. She saw that a lot of the parents weren’t home cooks and knew there was a demand that she could fill.
• After finding out her son had to have a heart transplant, Gilly had to drop her business abroad and return to the UK. Through her son's treatment she started taking him to an osteopath who’s work really helped him.
• You don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Your business could end because of some completely unforeseen circumstance. When that happens you have to put your head down and do what you need to do. There will be more business opportunities in the future.
• Gilly then saw another gap in the market as she found out that the osteopaths she was working with had no idea about marketing and were finding it hard to get new clients in the door.
• In the health and wellness industry the point is to make your client better, and when they’re better they won’t need your services anymore. So the marketing side is incredibly important to the sustainability of that business.
