I really enjoy these little video posts. I wish they were longer!
Interesting what Jim said about networking and trust. Surely you have to get to know people before you like them and ultimately start to trust them. I’ve always approached networking from the point of view of treating everyone equally and taking in interest in what they do. I guess i’ve always worked on the basis that you never know who someone may know that could help you so it pays to invest a bit of time in them.
I do like Jim’s point about taking advice from other business owners etc, I think it’s a real shame though that there isn’t a structure to this in place for small businesses in Scotland.
