Challenge
Lisa Lemke grew up in Småland and is a multi-talented entrepreneur who built her own food empire in the countryside outside Falkenberg. She runs several businesses with her husband Marcus, two of which are restaurants. Growing at the right pace and not incurring excessive costs is important. Lisa wants to grow independently and be able to scale organically. As a small business owner, you must keep control of costs and plan to survive if a crisis strikes. Previously, Lisa managed her finances using physical receipts and paper.
Things started to happen in cooking at the beginning of the 2000s. Food received greater media coverage and I began to wonder if I could combine my interest in food with journalism. This has gradually led me to my current role as a food creator, food stylist and television chef. — Lisa Lemke
For me, the bigger picture is important. We have created a place in the countryside where we can have a good life and at the same time run businesses and realise our dreams. — Lisa Lemke
I believe it is important as a small business owner to have tight control of costs.

Perhaps we can find inspiration from larger companies. I believe, for example, that small businesses can also benefit greatly from an advisory board with experts from other industries. Sometimes it's good to remind yourself that you don't have to solve everything alone and that you can actually save both time and money by bringing in external help. — Lisa Lemke
