Business Mentors in Northumberland
Northumberland is the most northerly English county incorporating the counties of Durham, Yorkshire, Tyne & Wear.
Northumberland's industry is dominated by some multinational corporations: Coca-Cola, MSD, GE and Drager all have significant facilities in the region. Tourism is also a major source of employment and income in Northumberland.
One of Northumberland’s famous entrepreneurs is County Durham-born entrepreneur and Dragon, Sara Davies. She famously started her crafting business from her university bedroom aged 21, and it’s now a global success..
I’ve got where I have because of my mindset, if you meet anyone who knows me – people who do business with me, the other Dragons – and you ask them to sum me up in a couple of words, the first word to come out of anybody’s mouth is “driven”. I wasn't the brains of Britain, I was probably middle of the road. When I did my GCSEs, I knew I could have done better if I’d just pushed myself a little harder.
Sara’s top tips…
The harder you work, the luckier you are….
Don’t let anyone tell you success is down to luck – yes, you need a sprinkle of luck with everything – but it’s one percent luck and 99 percent hard graft.
Be the best you can be, and you’ll find that fulfilling…
If you do something half-heartedly then it’s a missed opportunity. Give 100 percent effort and you’ll be proud of what you do.
You are a product of the people you surround yourself with…
Surround yourself with good people who have a positive influence on your life and push you to be the best version of yourself possible.
