A Catch the Wave workshop for start ups
Are you a start-up or an early stage business looking to build your business? This virtual session is for anyone in the first few years of business, living the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, and who would benefit from sense-checking the reality of life in the fast-line.
They say it takes five years to prove your business is viable, ten years to prove that it’s valuable.
This workshop is led by Richard Freeman, founder of always possible. Richard has just passed the five-year mark, and he has lots of lessons to share about risk, decision-making, strategy and luck. Starting out with £100, no savings, no security and two young children in 2015, Richard’s business - always possible - is set to turn over £500k next year and employ its seventh staff member.
In this special session, you can find out Richard’s five lessons about what has worked, what hasn't and some helpful ideas on building your own dream.
Topics you’ll be covering:
• Big thinking – How to grow your business beyond what’s just in front of you
• Hard listening – How to really, really understand your customers
• Clear planning – How to clear the noise and focus on what matters
• Winging it with style – How to learn as you go and stop chasing perfection
• Radical collaborating – How to let go of some control and work with others
This workshop includes a 30 minute Q & A with accountant Mark Crowter, Partner at Galloways Accountants.
