My start-up story: Jobeda Ali and Three Sisters Care. I'm starting my second business.
The first one did not succeed. It was very hard to let go of it, but if I ever learned anything from the four years of building and running my first business, it was to recognise the success in failure. Like all things in life, your chances of success increase as you practice it. So to be frank, by having run a company before, I have improved my chances of building a successful company now. There are five key lessons I took away from starting up Fair Knowledge (a media company) in 2007 that I've applied to starting up Three Sisters Care (a social care company).
The lessons I learned apply whatever field you are in. This time, to prepare for my new venture, I've spent a year hanging out with people from local councils, from financial services firms and from private agencies who are delivering in my sector; people who could tell me the lay of the marketplace without the veneer of sustainability thinking, because not all of it will be genuine or accurate.
