During the last few years, I have often found that I am so involved in the day-to-day management of the business that I rarely have time to step back and look at the overall plan. I have too often been a player on the pitch, rather than the coach or manager an MD should be.
Over the past three months, I completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Programme. The programme aims to help UK and US businesses grow and reach their full potential by providing assistance through education, mentoring, access to capital and business support services.
