Do you want to know how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset? Fortunately for you, there’s a wealth of entrepreneurship training at your fingertips. And much of it is free.The problem is that a lot of people think that an entrepreneurial mindset is something you’re just born with. They look at famous entrepreneurs and think that they’re just geniuses who had some kind of genetic advantage. While it’s true that some people may be predisposed to becoming an entrepreneur, it’s primarily something that’s learned.Keeping this in mind is important because many people are intimidated just because they think it’s innate. Removing that stumbling block is a good first step towards learning how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.The next question is…where do I find entrepreneurship training? What’s the best place to start?The thing is, you need to start studying business. That means reading books, watching business videos on Youtube, or attending webinars. Even better, you can get a mentor or business coach who will

If you’re operating a business in a declining market like the UK, you need to consider how you can survive recession. It’s crucial in these situations that you realize just how vital a business marketing and sales strategy is. Today, I explain why.Perhaps your business has been doing well pre-pandemic. And although you took a knock during the pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns, you still saw your business through. But now, you probably begin to notice a decline in your average customer spend. The economic decline has affected most people’s income, which means they have less money to spend.You might also feel that the shrinking economy has led to fewer leads for your business than you’ve had before from referrals. For this reason, you need a business marketing and sales strategy to survive recession and ultimately steer your business forward despite being in a market that’s on a downturn.And if you already have a marketing and sales strategy, you have to ask yourself, have you updated it to tackle the curre

Many people have business ideas that seem like they might work. But how can you really tell if you have a good business idea or business concept that’s likely to succeed in a crowded marketplace? In today’s episode, I share how to know whether what you have is a viable business idea or not.So, you have a business idea that you’re excited about that you want to test on the market. Perhaps you’ve told a few friends about it, and they’ve encouraged you to go ahead with it. But there are other things to consider before you invest your life savings into making it work.For example, does your business idea or business concept address a want, need, or desire in the marketplace? To know if you have a good business idea or a viable business idea, you have to know which category yours lies in today’s crowded marketplace.If people WANT a product, they’ll be prepared to spend money on it. When people NEED a product, they can’t go without it, so this automatically compels them to purchase it. DESIRE, on the other hand, is
