Sydney-based ActionCOACH Business Coach Rhiannon Rees has been shortlisted for the Franchise Woman of the Year by the Franchise Council of Australia.
Rees is no stranger to loss. She has owned five businesses over the years which she built from the ground up. Sadly the last of these – a health retreat – went under and she lost absolutely everything, along with her marriage and even her home.
Although she was incredibly fearful of failing again, she met a woman four years earlier who was a successful ActionCOACH Business Coach. She toyed with the idea of becoming one herself, but rejected it because it meant taking out a loan and another possible failed venture.
Without the security of permanent address and a full time job it made the possibility of a loan a virtually insurmountable. She tried to find work anywhere and everywhere. As a single mother she felt she needed a job but didn’t want to spend time away from her son.
