How to grow your business by working on it not in it – Celia Gaze – Episode 64

How to grow your business

With the current coronavirus lockdown in full swing, this week’s podcast is even more pertinent – how to grow your business.

It can be difficult enough in normal working life - never mind today’s conditions - to understand what you can do to help your business grow. But, the more we can learn from others people’s experience, the easier it is to focus on what we need to do to make a success of our own businesses.

This week’s guest, Celia Gaze, shares her very personal story of how she went from NHS burnout to wedding event entrepreneur. Like a lot of successful business people, it wasn’t plain sailing and there were many twists and turns along the way.

However, if you’re prepared to put in the hard work, to make some difficult choices and to learn from your mistakes, you, like Celia, could be heading up your dream job at the end of your journey, and making profit too!

Listen to this week’s inspiring podcast for Celia’s tips on how you too can grow your business in the future.

• You don't have to do everything just because it’s your business.
