Our guest, Mark Humphrey will be discussing protection for the small business owner, what would you do if you could not work? Mark really makes you think about the ‘What Ifs’ and the things we never want to think about, often too busy to worry about it until it happens to us. Many of us have life and critical illness insurance but what if an accident or prolonged illness prevents us from work? Especially in the current climate with the pandemic, it makes for interesting thought provoking listening, maybe it is time we all took stock and did some essential 'housekeeping' in life and business?Some top tips from Mark and I on how you can really start to focus on what is relevant right now, what can help you come out of the lockdown with a positive outlook and maybe some invaluable tips.To get in touch with Mark for a no obligation discussion, he is based in Kent but is not restricted geographically.MHC Mortgage and Protection Ltd 01227 807087https://www.mhcmortgages.co.ukIf I can help you in any way, you can find me via www.oceancoaching.co.uk Support the show (http://www.oceancoaching.co.uk)

What is Business Networking? Why should I go out Networking? Is it for me? What happens at a Networking event?Support the show (http://www.oceancoaching.co.uk)

Business Coaches work with their clients on lifestyle and business successes, goals, aspirations, ideas and often help their clients find a way out of the dark when often a client has struggled alone for years, not asking for help or support for fear of looking like a failure in business. I have to say at this point, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for support, motivation or help in business at any level, it’s a sign of strength to reach out. Always keep in mind we are not masters at absolutely everything in life or business, often we need someone else input, their ideas to simply elevate us. It is down to the coach to not only help their clients reach their full potential but also to hold their clients accountable and challenge them often.
