Adèle McLay Successful Entrepreneurs Stories : Meet Sophie Burnett

Sophie Burnett
Co-Founder and Managing Director of PA Business Support

It’s quite usual these days for people leave stable employment to become their own boss, or as it is commonly known, self employed.

Sadly, very few self employed people then make the transition to being business owners in the true sense of the words, where they employ others to do the work, so they can be a leader, working ‘on’ the business rather than directly ‘in’ it.

Meet my friend, Sophie Burnett. A few years ago, Sophie left a very stable and secure job in the recruitment industry to become her own boss. To save money, she even returned home to live with her mum and dad, and started the business in her bedroom at her parents’ home.

However, Sophie had a big vision for her business, and very quickly developed a plan enabling her to employ people, so she could spend more time strategically planning the future of the business and bringing her plan into reality.

As testimony to her business success, Sophie was the winner of the 2014 FSB Hertfordshire Business Award. Brilliant work, Sophie!

But that wasn’t enough. Six months ago, Sophie merged her business with another similar sized business in the same industry…. and as a result, the new business is going from strength to strength, supported by a very strong vision and business plan that Sophie and her new business partner, Sabina, have created. The future for this business is very, very bright.

I hope you are inspired by this week’s Successful Entrepreneurs’ Stories Interview. Sophie’s business journey and successes are a living example of what we can all achieve if we have clarity of vision for our businesses and lives. Enjoy.
