3 reasons why we need each other

Being a business owner can be exciting and rewarding especially as we are usually following our passion. But it's not for the faint hearted!

Having others around you who can help you or even just chat to can help so much. Here are some reasons why we need each other:

  1. We can amplify each other's content by sharing it - it's just a 'click' of a button. You're helping a business reach a new audience and potentially helping add value to your own community.
  2. We can talk to each other and learn from each others' experiences. Running a business can be very isolating. Our heads are busy and we are always on the go so when things become still mostly at night we can doubt ourselves and think 'what am I doing?' The 2am night sleepless nights are a real thing for some business owners. So having people you can bounce things off our talk to is really important. Sometimes just hearing 'keep going' or 'you did the right thing there' can help us.
  3. We understand each other. We 'get' the drive, the passion and the rollercoaster. (Sometimes our own families don't understand it) This is why business communities are so important.

We did our second Virgin media business webinar this week and it was all about cashflow. Our panel consisted of Alastair Thomson, Robert Graham and Elaine Smith and they added so much value! Thanks Emilia for your tweet.

The engagement and new connections made afterwards made it so worthwhile. Thanks Fiona O'Neill for the tweet!

Tip: When doing a webinar or event always check the tweets, instagram posts and LinkedIn posts afterwards. Our panel got so many new connections and the attendees did too.

The Backing business community has only started but it's already growing and gaining traction. Join us and be part of something really special. We need each other. You're not alone. p.s. You might want to tune into Ireland am Tuesday morning about 7.45am.....

Next week I'm off to London for the Mobula Ray EV launch. I will be the host!

You can join us virtually as I chat to influencers and advocates in the Electric vehicles space. Also you would be supporting a start up if you can share the event with anyone who you know has an electric vehicle as it might interest them.

If you ever need a repost on Twitter (X) or here on LinkedIn please message me and I will happily share for you if I feel it will add value. Always happy to help.

Great post Samantha, I love your third point, 'We understand each other', and our family don't understand us...This is so so true. The best of luck in London. I'll tune in out of curiosity :)
