Whether you have owned a small business for decades or are a budding entrepreneur you will discover ideas and learning lessons that others have implemented to grow their business.As small business owners a lot of the time it feels like we are just figuring stuff out and while there is a lot of truth to that, it doesn’t have to be this way. The Small Business School will help you find answers to questions like – How do I attract more customers? How do I pick the best location for my business? Should I start an online only business? How do I make it through the tough times? How do I use social media effectively? How do I scale my business from 1 person to 100? All of these are questions that are currently rattling around my brain when it comes to my business so I will be learning right along with you.The best way to learn is through experience and these business owners have experienced many challenges, successes and failures that have shaped them and their businesses. Sit back, grab a notepad and pen, maybe a glass of wine or whiskey (not if you’re driving) and let’s learn from these teachers that are gracious enough to open up and tell their stories and help us to grow.
