DON'T BOTHER!

Every year over my past 25yrs of working (employed & self-employed) I've heard colleagues, clients & partners say we shouldn't bother trying to do much over the summer months because 'everyone is on holiday' & 'nobody is around to make any decisions'.

I don't agree...

Yes, things are quieter as many people are on holiday, others are juggling / struggling to work from home whilst looking after kids & others are taking it a bit easier whilst their colleagues or bosses are on holiday.

But there are also many people who are working right through & trying to get things done. And many self-employed business owners who are still working on their business throughout with little to no time off at all.

This is why I've chosen to still run my monthly PLATFORM events in Sunderland (last week) & in Newcastle (next week on Friday 23rd August).

So, if you want to be inspired, find out about the latest funding & business support available in the North East & Teesside, hear from some new / early-stage businesses, learn from experienced tech / digital leaders & do some networking in a friendly & relaxed environment, you should come along next week ????

PLATFORM (Friday 23rd August, 9am-12pm) = https://platformaugust24.eventbrite.com
