A business advice summary  from what I am reading and learning

Business Advice Posts 

Every working person needs business advice. Whether you are in a company, enterprise or start up you can learn from other peoples’ business advice. Now I am not saying I have the answers to everything. What I am saying is that when we learn from other peoples’ business advice then perhaps we get a ‘step up’. A free kick.

I read a lot and go to many seminars and conferences. Part of my entrepreneurial journey is learning from trial and error. There are so many things to learn. For me I write them here in a selection of blog posts so that I can maybe assist others on his or her leadership journey.

It will be difficult for me to know which, if any, of these posts will touch move and inspire you to be a better leader. The thing is with business advice, or any advice for that matter, it only works if you adapt it to your owner circumstances. There is no quick fix. There is no easy way.
