Celia left a senior role in the NHS after frustration and work-related stress made her question her life and became the springboard to start her own business. Over the next few years she transformed a neglected hill farm in Bolton into a multi award-winning wedding and events venue – The Wellbeing Farm. She unites savvy business understanding with a passion for self-development that can't fail to inspire you to transform your own life.

This book is brilliant. I’ve read the whole thing in one go, it was so good and easy to read, and really resonated with me. The book tells Celia's business start up story, and includes lots of advice on how to avoid mistakes and build a successful business. It’s very honestly written, and Celia is clearly an amazingly brave women. Celia’s business is a farm diversification to a wedding venue, my business is a farm diversification but to a florist, but I still learnt so much, it certainly isn’t just for people looking at setting up a wedding venue, I would say it would be a great read for anyone starting up a business, especially if it’s going to be customer based, a farm diversification or any other home based business. We have been established for over ten years but I still learnt a great deal so not just for new start ups.It’s so different from other business books I have read, full of good common sense advice and inspiration.
