Why is my business stalling?

Why is my business stalling?

If you were to receive a substantial capital investment into your business would you engage outside expertise to help further develop and improve your business? There are few business leaders I know who would seriously answer no to this question, which if you really think it through is very odd.

A Profitable Business, Growing & About to Crash!

A Profitable Business, Growing & About to Crash!

 “How important is profit?” this question in one form or another is one of the most common questions we receive from start-up owners or potential start-ups and surprisingly it’s not a simple answer.

Leader or a Manager? – Vive la Différence!

Leader or a Manager? – Vive la Différence!
