Why would Janet be able to help you with your business?
Janet has been running her own business since 1994. She has a proven track record in setting up businesses which have stood the test of time and earns her living full time from her business, whilst being the main wage earner in the household.
Her first business started life as a tearoom, which she and her husband Lee created out of an old cow byre (hence the name 'The Byre'), in the middle of nowhere.
It quickly evolved into a spinning, weaving and knitting mail order and teaching business in addition to the tea room.
She sold it in 1998 and it continues to exist as two separate businesses.
Scottish Fibres have developed their wonderful textile craft worker supply business from 'The Byre', Janet's previous textile business. Janet continues to be friends with Doreen and John and in fact delivers spinning courses for scottish fibres
The Castle Tearoom, as it is now called is also still in existence at Loch Doon Dalmellington Ayrshire - and is still in Janet and Lee's old cow byre!
Janet, meanwhile, has gone on to build up follow on business, focusing her teaching and courses. She delivers courses to many groups and indivduals, including groups with additional needs, Looked After children, and community groups, using her expertese in psychology and group work along with her craft work. She earns her living full time from her business, is 100% self supporting and has now been so for many years.
In other words, if you need help to get started with your business, or are struggling to understand how to make a profit out of your business, Janet has the skills to help you to succeed.
