A couple of questions I often get asked when working with a new business owner are:

Choosing the right Business Partner is not as simple as shaking hands over a wine on a Friday night.

“There are people living their whole lives on the default setting, never realising that they can customise” Robert Breault

I am glad my son is not one of them….

Just because you love to buy shoes does not mean that your circle of friends the same age wishes to spend their hard earned income on the same, they may be saving for bigger things.

The first couple of years of any business is so critical as you are trying to establish your brand and taking too much downtime means that someone else is out there signing up your potential clients.

Now I want to ask you “Do they know what you do?” If not, then it is about time they do.

During a client meeting one day, many years ago, Michelle was asked "As I now have 2 properties with you can you reduce my management fee to 7%?" Michelle said sure but understand you will get the 7% service while my other clients the 8%, know your worth.

You only get one crack at launching your new business successfully so don’t blow it.
