Our 10th episode :-)More great stories and tips form us about our day to day business, how we are planning growth and how our week has been.

After an unplanned short break, we are back to it. A quick update on what we have been upto and as usual some awesome business tips and info about how our businesses are going with an insight into our last few weeks.

Episode 8 is the first where, rather than a specific topic, we are talking openly and honestly about our week as business owners.The highs and lows, the challenges and the learning points.We hope you enjoy it.

In episode 7 we discuss the growth of our businesses, how we achieved it and how we measure it. There are also lots of ways to nurture organic growth and you'll hear us talking through what we have done to achieve this.Mental toughness is something every business owner needs and we spend some time chatting about what it means to us and how we have used it to face challenges and push our business forward.

Emotion in business is something that we don't always think about or plan for....how you deal with your emotions as a business owner can have a huge effect on your business and its growth.What do we do on a daily basis to promote what we do? A few tips from us and how we promote our businesses.

Our 5th weekly episode covers confidence and upselling.Recorded after a long, busy day for both of us, so a little shorter than usual, we hit on two really important parts of business.Confidence can be learned and improved upon - its an important trait for any business owner.Being good at upselling can really explode the growth of your business.We really hope that this weeks episode is of help and thanks for listening.Al & Andy

Another 2 great topics being discussed in this episode. Finance; how we have financed our businesses and how we keep track of the day to day stuff as well as plan for future growth from a financial side.Personal development is a hugely important thing and something Andy and I are both very passionate about. We hope this episode brings you some real value.

This week we are talking about drive (how do we find the drive to keep pushing on and working to grow our businesses) and social media (how have we been using social media to grow our customer base and promote our businesses)

This week we are talking about the sacrifices you have to make when you start your own business and how we find our customers.Both are huge topics, but in this episode we chat about our own personal experiences and detail some of the sacrifices we have made and how we balance life in general and running a business.We also touch on how we find our customers and grow the work we get from existing customers.We hope you find some value in this podcast and would love to hear your feedback.

Our first episode is an introduction to who we are, what we have built and an overview of our plans for the podcast.Nothing is scripted and we hope you find the relaxed style we have aimed for to be informative but also easy to listen to.
