I promised myself I’d keep going. No matter what.
When I started Hapn HQ in 2022, I had 20p in my bank account.
I was a single mum, raising my little boy from the council house that has been our home for seven years. No investment. No huge audience. No fancy office. No financial cushion.
Just me, my laptop, my skills, an idea and a refusal to accept that where we started had to determine where we ended up.
And wow, has it tested me.
I’ve been underestimated, criticised, copied, questioned and had people actively try to knock me down. There were moments where walking away would’ve been easier.
But I made myself a promise.
Just. Keep. Going.
Four and a half years later, that business I started with 20p has 14 awards six won this year alone, including global recognition.
300+ clients. Millions of people reached.
I’ve stepped into further education to teach what I do, hosted a networking event with a Forbes 30 Under 30 winner, collaborated twice with The Productivity Method by Grace Beverley, built CPD accredited education and next year we’re taking entrepreneurs to Greece for our CPD accredited business retreat.
And now, after seven years in that council house, I’m preparing to close the door for the final time and move my family into our new home.
That one gets me.
Because I can still picture the girl with 20p in her bank account wondering how the hell she was going to make any of this work.
She had no idea what was coming.
I didn’t build Hapn because I had perfect circumstances.
I built it because I refused to let my circumstances become my son’s future.
Everything has been for him, our future, and my grandparents who I wish more than anything were here to see it.
Every award. Every opportunity. Every door that opens. I hope somewhere, somehow, they’re watching.
From 20p to a multi award winning business and a completely different future for my family.
And we’re still only getting started.
I promised myself. And I fu***ng meant it. 🤎⚡️
