Success isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being relentless.
My journey hasn’t always been an easy one, behind the tough exterior, I have had to take some serious hits and overcome some big hurdles to chase my dreams.
The
Apprentice
In 2016 Michelle took on the challenge of becoming an Apprentice candidate in series 12 of the popular BBC1 show.
Being fired in episode 1 could have been a sign that she wasn’t good enough – that the grandmaster of business, Lord Sugar, couldn’t see enough potential in her. But that’s not her style.
Instead, Michelle worked her backside off even harder to prove him wrong. And she made more money in the 12 months after the series than any of the other contestants that year..
Childcare Counts Campaign
At the heart of Michelle’s advocacy work is the Childcare Counts Campaign, a national movement calling for childcare to be recognised as a business expense for those running their own small businesses and the self-employed.
The campaign engages MPs, government advisers, business groups, and women across the UK to address one of the biggest barriers stopping women from starting and scaling businesses.
