Episode 1 - How 9-figure business owner bounced back from losing everything and now supports mums in business

What happens when you go from being a successful 9-figure business owner (yes, you heard me right, 9 figures) to literally losing everything overnight?  Imagine owning homes all over the world to waking up to find you and your family have become penniless and homeless in a heartbeat.  How do you bounce back when everything you’ve built over 25 years disappears in the blink of an eye?  He says “my life actually began the day I lost everything”.  Hear the incredible story of loss and the one thing that finally helped him to bounce back to something even better than before, as I speak to Ashley Reading, CEO of Bounce -who is now working to help thousands of mums in business earn a great income, whilst protecting their families.

What we cover

  • Being a 9-figure business to losing everything over night

In collaboration with...

When I met Ashley, the CEO of the insurance company Bounce, and Rachel Brookes, the Network Development Manager, it was clear from the start that Bounce and Mpower share similar values around empowering others (particularly mothers) and creating opportunities to flexibly combine earning a great living with motherhood.

Bounce not only proivdes people with the right insurance products to potect their families, health and business  they are also hugely passionate about providing flexible opportunities for mums to earn additional income.  

With zero risk and zero investment, Bounce empowers mums in business to make a difference to the lives of others with their insurance services and enables them to transform their own lives through becoming part of a supportive and vibrant Bounce network and community and building a primary or additional source of income by becoming a Bounce referall partner.

So, I’m really excited to be bringing you this podcast series in collaboration with Bounce.  I know how difficult it can be to earn a great living while your building your startup, particularly in those first few years.  So the Bounce referral opportunity for a product which is all about essential peace of mind and protection could be a perfect business opportunity or compliment to your existing business.  - you can find out more about creating an additional Bounce income by visiting the Bounce Nework website
