Not everyone has their heart set on founding a company,
people do think the idea of running their own
business is scary.
Kate Jackson: I kind of was forced into running my own business
because one of the downsides of working, living in a rural area
is that actually there aren't many options for a graduate
Anne Miller: One of the reasons what that I wanted to do
something new. I got very good at what I was doing, my team was
very successful at it, and I'm a creative person, I like new
challenges, and when I thought, do I want to spend the next 20
years of my life doing this? My heart sunk.
Martina Hornickova: To be honest I have never wanted to have my
own business (laughs) but then
this was the only option, have my own
business, to basically do what I'm good at and what I love doing
I went off to have my second
child and then I was made redundant when I was about to come back
to work, so I started thinking about other options.
