Sonja Leason – From Benefits to Business Owner
Manage episode 336143815 series 3128371
In our first episode, Sonja Leason, Managing Director of Love Mondays talks about her journey from benefits to business owner. She starts from her early years where she experienced bereavement at 8, homelessness, teenage pregnancy at 17 and her life and career as a single mum.
“Don’t compare yourself to other peoples happy versions that you see all over social media. It’s not real. We are doing this podcast to say we are all human, we all have a story and we have all struggled, it’s what you do with it that counts. If you can think it, you can do it. You just have to work out how.”
Knowing what it’s like to experience life in hostels and on benefits, Sonja believes the answer to this problem lies in entrepreneurship. She now works with her clients to build profitable and sustainable businesses with them, ultimately to create jobs and provide well paid and supportive environments for all. Love Mondays, a business growth consultancy, have created and filled over 200 jobs of their clients and work with others who align to their purpose and passions to create purpose lead profit. As an expert in human behaviour, Sonja and the team at Love Mondays achieve results of between 30%-200% growth year on year for their clients and the positive ripple effect can be seen through out communities and via charities, too.
In addition, by overcoming depression, anxiety, OCD and agoraphobia to name a few, Sonja also coaches as a therapist to help others to truly overcome their struggles and live a truly authentic life.
In this series, we will be hearing from other inspirational entrepreneurs and business owners on how they have overcome serious adversity to create incredible businesses that give back. We want you to not only be inspired to achieve more and do more, but also get some clarity, purpose and support to build a profitable and sustainable business, too.
