After working for many years in the design field, Johnny saw a real gap in the market for boutique doors, bathrooms and other housing fittings that he just couldn’t find anywhere locally. What started as a personal interest of his soon lead to the realisation that there was an opportunity here to provide a product that no one else was offering. With his background in design, he was able to start up a digital marketing campaign and ended up being selected as one of the top 100 ‘Fast Starters’ start ups in Australia. Johnny has gone on to found the Zen Group, based in Cremorne, providing custom products to create unique home interiors.In this episode:0:00 Intro0:39 Johnny’s Story2:08 Zen Doors - Top 100 Start Ups4:09 How to know what the market wants7:18 The importance of just getting started10:25 Creating a bespoke product11:15 Balancing family life14:15 Expansion plans18:04 Advice for entrepreneurs starting their own business20:50 Something no one knows about me21:25 Key takeaways23:55 Best and worst financial advice28:26 Who I look up toGet in contact with Johnny at:https://zendoors.com.au/
