You will not know everything when you start your business.

Accounting, marketing, offer structures, pricing…… the list goes on

But that should never stop you.

The belief you have in yourself, your skills, your experience is what you need to get started. That is exactly what my wonderful guest in this episode, Jesminara Rahman, had when she took the leap.

Transitioning from a secure job at HMRC she jumped ship to join the side of small businesses, fighting in their corner in tax disputes with HMRC.

Jesminara shares the essential skills she needed to develop fast at the start of her journey that created business growth. She gives incredible insights into how she built a flexible team empowered by choice, something so many businesses could learn from.

Jesminara is forging the way for balance in business, listen up to find out how you can too.
