The recession left many people out of work, either through job cuts, redundancies and those unhappy in work resigning.Those made redundant will have received a substantial pay out enabling them financially and academically capable to invest in a new business, whether a business buy-in, franchise or a start-up.These are the people that are now using their initiative to set up a business and help the recovery of the economy, hence we allknow that it is the private sector that will lead us to prosperity.
Only last week PM David Cameron encouraged us to 'make a job' rather than to 'take a job' inview of the Global Entrepreneurship Week.The governmenthas recognised the growing momentum around the country for people to try entrepreneurship for the first time, offering them support schemes, mentoring guidance groups and motivation to ensure that they can make their new business a success. We are all aware of the big society, coalition and joining forces to make for a better future together, so how can we do this on smaller scale to help our businesses bloom?
Maybe the answer again is joining forces with like-minded people, so joining and attending networking events. By emersing your new business withina network there is the opportunity to gain professional advantage, exchange great business ideasand establish growth at a more rapid pace compared to businesses that don't. Networking is a reliable, positive and realistically achievable form of marketing, with a return of investment that is hard to beat.
