Marketing Expert and Multiple Business Owner at 25!

Once my life was organised, and I had a routine for my work, I discovered, first of all,  that nearly everything was taken care of at any given point in time

Gillian Perkins is an entrepreneur, expert content creator, blogger, youtuber, and business consultant, as well as being a mum to two young children.
Eleven years ago, Gillian set up her very first enterprise, and since then, has fallen in love with being her own boss. She currently owns and runs four businesses in different industries, both on and off line. She has found out that when you are an entrepreneur, there is always something to learn, wherever you are in the process. In other words, you never really arrive - It’s all about enjoying the journey!

Gillian started SIX businesses before the age of 24. It all started when she was only 14 years old, and very unintentionally...At that time, she was an advanced piano player, and could also play the flute. Her friend persuaded her to show her how to play, loved her teaching style, started telling everyone, and soon, she was giving piano lessons to quite a number of children, simply through the spread of her good reputation. As demand grew, she began to advertise herself as a music teacher, eventually expanding to become a studio, hiring more music teachers, and then setting up NorthWest School of Music!
Aged 15, Gillian taught herself to develop her own website for the music teaching business, learning a new web program every year. She spent five years practicing this on her own, and after that, did ad-hoc work for people in her circle of acquaintance. Today, she is able to build amazing websites for creative business people.

Later on, after studying hair and makeup, Gillia started a mobile hair and make-up service for brides. She later closed this down, as through this, she learned about marketing and business strategy, which became a bigger interest for her.

At age seventeen, she tried out real-estate investment, which got off to a rocky start, due to her being unusually young to be starting this kind of venture. Later on, this was outgrown by her marketing and consulting business.

Aged 23, she began to create and launch her personal business brand, Gillian Perkins International, after re-evaluating where she was going with her career and general interests. This is the crescendo of all her previous ventures, trying things out, giving things up, and figuring out who she was, and what she was really passionate about. All of her accumulated business knowledge about everything from branding to building a customer base, to sales and management has become a fantastic online learning and mentoring hub for business start-ups, as well as being great for general lifestyle tips.

Gillian has had quite a long, winding road to get to where she is today, and none of it was planned, or aimed for by her - but it’s amazing how a bit of creativity, a sense of adventure, and some ideas can have so much potential!
