Deborah Meaden: Money Shouldn't Be Your Goal

Deborah Meaden is a living legend in this country. Famous from her nearly two decades on Dragons’ Den, she became an entrepreneur at 19 years old. Her family didn’t have much money when she was growing up so she figured out how to get it - and grafted. Deborah explains how you should think about money, what she looks for in a business and how to teach kids about it so they can achieve their dreams.

Disclaimer:
This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
