Building a business is like writing an novel
People often ask “how long does it take to grow a business?” 🤔 Amazon are the poster boys for modern business yet reviewing their revenue figures it took almost 10 years before they started to grow exponentially. Based on this if you’re 1, 2, 5 maybe even 10 years into your journey, depending on the maturity of your industry things may take a little longer. We can’t all ride the internet bubble like some of the tech giants. Building a business is like writing an novel, it ta

Best of luck for 2021
2020 has been a strange and difficult year. The world changed in so many ways, but from this change comes opportunity. Over the course of the year ironically, in my first year of business, it was actually when COVID hit did I actually find my feet. When times are tough you need to keep doing the positive behaviours that you know will pay off. Even when things seem bleak, the people who have similar values will find you. Entering the new year my promise to myself is simply to
