Running your own small or medium sized business is like trying to keep a bunch of plates spinning. It’s tough, can feel pretty lonely, and sometimes, the stress is off the charts. Even when things look good, it might not feel as great as you expected.

So why do we bother? It’s all about wanting to work our way and make a real difference. Sure, each of our businesses and dreams are different, but we all bump into the same kinds of problems day in, day out.

I get it because I’ve been there myself. Most of the time, you probably have a gut feeling about what needs doing. But now and then, you could do with a hand from someone who’s been through it all before and is ready to get stuck in with you to sort things out.

Just having experience isn’t enough. Things change way too fast these days to just rely on what we’ve learned before. That’s why I keep on learning and staying ahead of the game in business.
