What one top tip would you give to a business owner embarking on a growth plan?
Ensure that you have the right skills and knowledge in your organisation to perform every task well, and if you don’t, go and find those skills and knowledge. Whatever level in the organisation, don’t be afraid of admitting you don’t know, and defer to someone that does.
