050: Lessons from business

In this episode, I take you behind the curtain to reflect on the lessons I have learnt from three years in business and 50 podcast episodes. Over the three years, I have had the pleasure of working with 20 schools on strategy and have worked with numerous fundraisers on implementing strategy into their day-to-day work. I thought I would take this opportunity to share the top five lessons I have learnt from building my business, which I now use to help my clients.Here's a sneak peek of the lessons I discuss in this episode: 1.
