I am the daughter of parents who for many years successfully ran their own small retail business. In order to start it, they scrimped and saved and worked hard to raise the capital required to secure premises and buy stock.
They began with one shop and eventually expanded to three outlets. My mother, a born saleswoman, did all the buying and selling while my father, who had a head for figures and hands for maintenance, did the book keeping and any practical tasks that needed doing.
In the early years of the business I was still at school. And while many of our friends and family naturally assumed when I was old enough that I would follow my parents into their business, they both did a good job of dissuading me.
