The Straight-talking 'Dragon'

Deborah Meaden is a successful UK entrepreneur, best known for appearing on BBC 2’s Dragons Den. She started her career at the age of 19, running a glass and ceramics import company, and then went on to make her name and money in the family’s holiday park business, Weststar Holidays. The company was sold in 2007, in a deal worth £83 million. Deborah joins Jenni to talk about her entrepreneurial mindset, how her mother encouraged her to love to work from the age of five, and how to turn good ideas into great business.

'Common Sense Rules' by Deboarah Meaden will be published by Random House Business Books on 4th June 2009.
