How to turn your career skills into a business - Rebecca Saunders and Paige Cross

Apr 28, 2025

If you’ve spent a decade or more building a professional career - the idea of starting a business might seem out of reach. But you have plenty of skills already, in fact you are probably REALLY good at a couple of things… that people will actually pay you for.

In this episode, hear from two rural women who talk about how you can use your established skills, networks and passion to start a business. All you need to do is plug the gaps in your knowledge. (And work pretty bloody hard).

*Rebecca Saunders - serial entrepreneur, business coach and founder of the Champagne Lounge, Mudgee NSW

*Paige Cross - founder and owner of Cross Country Management, former agribusiness manager for NAB, Greater Adelaide region, SA.

We discuss whether you need to identify a problem first to have a business, how to tap into your established network and how to find mentors. Also, how do you know when to spend money to make money?
