Gina Bate is bucking the trend when it comes to financial success. The number of people unemployed in the UK has reached around 2.22 million, and Deloitte have recently reported that companies going into administration has risen by 30%. It’s a bleak picture but not for Gina who set up as a LighterLife Counsellor five years ago.
Previously a driving instructor, Gina’s LighterLife franchise has really taken off, so much so that she is now opening her second location. She has a team of three ladies working with her in Fareham, and she can now turn her attention to her other franchise which will be in Chichester. “I am very much looking forward eventually to being able to grow that one to a similar level as my existing franchise”.
Despite the financial gloom, Gina feels incredibly secure in her career, achieving an increase in turnover of £3000 a month compared to the previous year. Her success has come from the passion she has, as well as a good business model that really works. “The support that our central office gives to us is amazing. Whether it be training, advertising, business questions, etc. I can also talk from personal experience of needing support from our central office and I couldn’t ask for a better team to help me.”
The main thing Gina has found from her LighterLife franchise is job satisfaction. She says she is much happier now than when she was running her driving school, and has flexibility during the day to spend time as she wishes such as walking her dog. “I really love my work and feel so privileged to be trusted by so many people in what is such a personal and individual journey. I actually enjoy going to work!”
