As an entrepreneur, you can’t be afraid to shift your strategy when necessary. 

When you first start out, you may have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and how you’re going to get there. But as you begin to execute your plan, you may realize that some things aren’t working as well as you’d hoped.

Remember, a successful business is built on flexibility and adaptation. So, don’t be afraid to shift your strategy when necessary.

Time is one of the hottest commodities you've got as an entrepreneur - but are you using it to it's full potential?

Every minute spent working in and on your business has an impact so it's important to be strategic about where you use your resources. 

In fact, there are two different ways that you can use your time as an entrepreneur: spending and investing. 

Spending time is when you use your time to do tasks that need to be done but don’t necessarily move your business forward. This could include things like checking email, reading industry news, or attending networking events.

Investing time is when you use your time to work on tasks that will grow your business. This could include things like developing a marketing strategy, writing blog posts, or creating new products. 

By understanding the difference between spending and investing your time, you can make sure that you’re using your time in the most effective way possible.

Listen in as we break down the differences between spending and investing time - and how to make the shift into investing time instead of simply spending it.

If we were starting a business from scratch, one of the first things we would do is establish our core values.

Core values are the guiding principles that drive everything we do, from the way we treat our employees to the products and services we offer. Having clearly defined core values is essential for making sound decisions, both large and small.

They provide a sense of purpose and direction, and help you to stay focused on your goals. Most importantly, they serve as a filter for making decisions.

You'll hear why it's so important to have core values established before making any major decisions - and how core values can shape your success.
