2. Create your Small Business Support Network Worksheet.
Learn how to set yourself up for success when you're working for yourself.
Running a small business can be a very challenging personal development experience -the first three years for me were pretty rough, thanks to not having a proper support network.
I ended up feeling fairly isolated, removed from the 'real world' (all my friends had proper 9-5 jobs and no one close to me could really sympathise with the trials and tribulations of running a small business). That all changed when I started reaching out to small business networks.
Not sure whether you need one?

Get the low down on how to create a successful pilot, including various options for approaching clients, structuring the exchange and making sure you get the right feedback.
