How to turn your passion into your business Woman’s Hour<\/h1>

For a BBC Radio 4\u2019s Woman\u2019s Hour special, Krupa Padhy was joined by a host of special guests to answer just that. Should you try to turn your passion into a business? And if you do, what advice should you listen to before you take the plunge?<\/p>

Business icon Deborah Meaden – Dragons’ Den investor, entrepreneur and host of the Big Green Money Show on BBC Radio 5 Live \u2013 joined Krupa alongside Lynne Franks OBE, founder of the SEED Women\u2019s Enterprise Network, and entrepreneurs Sam Jackman and Sharon McBean.<\/p>

\u201cThe businesses that have the biggest chance of survival are the ones that people really, really care about,\u201d says Deborah Meaden. \u201cCaring comes from passion and seeing people’s passion is one of the fundamental reasons I invest. However, passion alone doesn\u2019t make it a success.<\/p>

You have to move from the sheer passion into the slightly more hard-nosed research bit that says: \u2018Actually, I might love this, but are there enough other people out there who would love this as much as me to make this into an actual business?\u2019\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAsk yourself whether there is a clear market pull for what your business delivers,\u201d adds Sam Jackman, founder of Boost Innovations, who designed a prosthetic breast for those who have had a mastectomy.<\/p>

\u201cFor my brand, I spent a long time talking to women to establish whether there was a gap in the market. This meant that jumping into the stress and the costs of product development was a bit easier because we had done the research first.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
