My Purpose

There is no shortage of programs, accelerators, online training schemes, mentorship programmes and the rest to support our fledgling entrepreneurs.

So is there a need for me to produce a weekly newsletter?

The feedback I have received in the last few days from entrepreneurs, investors and founders indicates the answer is yes but if you feel I can do more then please shout.

This week the articles I share are focused on three critical areas for anyone building a business

1. Optimising Performance
2. Accepting Support
3. Overcoming Adversity

The reason I know these are important subjects to discuss is that these have each been game-changers for me.

I have not arrived at their importance through study but through experience.

The "cost" of experience is high and I hope that by sharing my experience freely here I just might save you some of this investment.

Good luck

Articles

1. Habits build success

turning repeated tasks into habits has been a game changer for me in optimising much of my performance. I hope it will work for you as well.

2. Pay It Forward

I'm asked how I am rewarded for my efforts to support the entrepreneur. The answer is easy I am paying back to all those who supported me.

3. Dealing with adversity

Our world of entrepreneurship is filled with positivity but to develop resilience we must learn to flourish when things go wrong.
