Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management Services
Date: 1 October 2019
Small business can be an incredible ride: exhilarating, rewarding, fulfilling, exhausting, challenging, and sometimes depressing. How do you ride the highs and lows without completely burning out?
October is both Small Business and Mental Health month and today we’re combining both of these to bring you a very special program to give you, the small business owner, some strategies and support when you’re going through tough times.
In the studio we welcome Tim Hoopmann, Founder of Spinn Business Solutions & Beyond Blue Speaker & Patrice O’Brien, General Manager Workplace, Partnerships & Engagement for Beyond Blue. They are going to share where you can get help and what to do if you’re in a position to help other small business owners.
There are some great resources produced by the team at Beyond Blue and Tim, our regular guest on mental health for small business will share his own experiences and how he’s supported others.
Welcome to the show Tim & Patrice.
Topics we’ll be covering:
How to use it as an advisor
