The Small Business Sessions
How great advice can power your business success
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Research shows that those business owners who take on advice grow their companies faster than those who don't, but with so much advice out there it can be hard to work out which advice to take on.
As you'll know if you're an entrepreneur, you have a lot of plates to spin, so when should you seek advice and ask for help from others? And how do you go about picking the advisers to use?
Joining journalist Dan Martin to discuss all that are two brilliant Enterprise Nation adviser members:
- Emma Mills-Sheffield from Mindsetup, who advises business owners on how to become more efficient, productive and efficient.
- Toby McCartney, the founder of MacCrebur, a hugely successful brand that turns non-recyclable waste plastics into materials to use as roads and car parks. He is also the author of Business ReLOVEution: A Mindset Paradigm for the Modern Entrepreneur. Throughout his business journey, Toby has taken on lots of advice, including from Sir Richard Branson. Listen to hear what Sir Richard told him!
