Entrepreneurship Unplugged

Entrepreneurship unplugged: real perspectives for real entrepreneurs. A series of podcasts based on my 33 years in business and work around supporting SMEs in over 83 countries. We explore what works and what doesn't in business so that you don't have to repeat the same mistakes I or others have made and perhaps even find inspiration for how you start or grow your own business. Topics covered include "how to find clients" to "debunking funding myths", "turning your business around" to "how to decide when to call it quits or persist".
