Small Business Advice Programme - Interview with John McSweeney
"Sometimes corporate and political connections do work well (said entirely tongue in cheek). Nonetheless, the Small Business Advice programme is a great service for established small business owners. An under-served group, in my book. It is such a gift when you get to share a question, concern or hope with someone more experienced. As this time of transition continues, small businesses can use this service to re-focus, plan and take action that will keep them going."Communication: 3 Tips to Make Your SME Buzz With Productivity

But for small business owners, they have to weigh how they approach their roles as leaders and managers and how these choices affect their lives beyond work as well. Maybe the question lies in the exit strategy for each business owner. Are you building something you want for 10-20 years, to sell or to pass on? "
