Jeff Smith, The KPI Guy, talks with Jan Cavelle

Jan Cavelle is the author of Scale for Success and Start for Success, which are books aimed at helping entrepreneurs to grow their businesses

After having micro businesses in the past, things collapsed for Jan and she found herself as a single Mum on social support needing to make a future for her family.  She started off by selling an assortment of goods to get by, which refined itself into to being furniture. To ensure a steady supply, she went into manufacturing, built the business up to 50 employees and won many awards over the next couple of decades.

But then she lost her passion and the reasons for doing it, coupled with increased problems having made errors in the foundations of the business and she walked away from it all, virtually overnight.

But she soon got bored, she missed writing articles for business publications and decided to start writing books to help entrepreneurs.

This is a story of starting up in business and getting the foundations completely wrong, losing your passion, and then following your childhood dreams to rediscover your passion and to live your life on purpose.
