What's the difference between a 'start-up' and 'starting a business'? A start-up is all about scale, it's about creating a business that is built to grow quickly.
We are joined by Meryl Johnston from Bean Ninjas. Meryl looks at start-ups and ways you can scale your business. She also looks at supports for businesses such as mentors and strategies for determining if your business idea would even make a successful business.
Links to the books referred to by Meryl:
Company of One by Paul Jarvis
Built to Sell by John Warrillow
Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman
The 7 Day Startup by Dan Norris
