Episode description

Prosperity in austere times IS possible, with the right mindset and support.  Rachel Elnaugh, well known for her company Red Letter Day and for her role as a fiery dragon in BBC TV's Dragon's Den, joins us for nuggets of insight from her business brain. 

Rachel's vast and hard-earned business experience of how to create success in economic circumstances that most 'perceive' as difficult is shared in this interview.  

We also are privy to Rachel's thoughts on what businesses needs to do to survive and even thrive in a world that is literally 'waking up' to the knowledge that the 'old ways of doing business' are gone forever - and that entrepreneurs and big business must begin to focus more on what supports the planet and humanity, rather than just making the shareholders happy.  

Women in business is close to Rachel's heart, herself a mother of five, she knows that a high powered 'job' would have been too inflexible for her lifestyle, so entrepreneurship has been the ideal option. 

Rachel's message is ethics is 'where it is at' and sustainable prosperity can be achieved by looking at business in this way. 

Rachel herself, admits that she has undergone change since her Red Letter Days and Dragon's Den experiences and is now clearly in her element as she draws to her coaching clients and speaking engagements that allow her to share her new and inspiring ideas around successful business development for 2013 and beyond. 

Her 2013 Lucky Prosperity Spiral Mentoring Group is a great place to connect with others who are excited by the idea of exchanging ideas and supporting each other in prosperity creation.

A powerful interview, Rachel has lost none of her passion for business, she has just refined and distilled the essence of what is important in this exciting 'new age' of business.
