Richard Branson (RB) gives us a clear message as entrepreneurs i.e.
Entrepreneurs CAN make a difference, and scale doesn’t matter (see RB video below).
Think realistically and creatively. The entrepreneurial spirit can truly make a difference. Branson has launched ‘Virgin Unite’ to underpin this, and he says “working together we can change the world.”
However, all entrepreneurs need business support. A good way for entrepreneurs, owner managers or small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) senior managers is to employ the services of a business consultant mentor.
There are a number of options. The Department for Business Enterprise and Reform (BERR) is trying to simplfy its business support schemes from 3000 to a mere 100. This is a good initiative, but using a business support professional, usuing a free online resouce like Business Service Finder is still likely to save time, and money, and deliver better financial performance & improved productivity.
