From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges. Where do you find information, support, collaborations and recommendations without a network? Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people that have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities. ‘Hour in the Hive – Live!’ I love getting to know people, their story, and challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations. If you are a solopreneur, or small business owner / SME I want to find out more about you and your challenges. Are you clear on the following? What’s your focus for 2023? What are your goals and how are you going to reach them? Where are the gaps and how are you going to overcome them? What do you want to achieve this quarter? Is there something holding you back that my experience, knowledge, or network can help you with? If you’re stuck on any of these areas, I’d love you to join me for an ‘Hour in the Hive – Live!’ for a free brainstorming session.
