I speak to Richard Woods just before one of his Lead Gen Academy evenings in Farnborough. Richard talks about his experiences on The Apprentice, how health problems impacted him and much much more!

At the time of speaking, he was still knee deep in his new boiler business as well as about to launch WP Aid! There is no stopping this man!

Sharing the challenges and stories of fellow business owners!

My guests are business owners (with a few exceptions!) at different stages in their career. We talk about what they are doing now, the challenges they faced to get here, their advice to aspiring or existing business owners and how they maintain their own health and well being.

Everyone has a story to tell and it is inspiring to here from others and recognise that no-one's ride is smooth!

An Introduction to Season 6

Mental health was a big topic before Covid-19 yet it would be easy to push it aside as we try our best to cope with the pandemic. The reality though is that we can't. Whether we choose to consciously address it or not, our mental health is being impacted by this.

As a business owner, an employer, an employee, a parent, no matter who we are or what our role in life is, we are all of us are impacted by the lockdown.

To keep yourself and those around you healthy, you need to take conscious action to manage the visible and the not so visible impacts on each of us.

Debra Levitt is joined by Geraldine Joaquim, Founder of Mind Your Business and Sam Gold, Founder of Gold HR to answer your questions on staying mentally healthy.

We'll share some of our experiences, those that we're hearing about from clients and take your questions to help you manage.

Staying Mentally Healthy

This was recorded during the Coronovirus Global Pandemic in 2020.

At the time of this webinar, the expectation was that we will not return to normal any time soon but we don't quite know what the future holds . 

For that matter, will we ever return to the normal we previously knew?

If not, what will our new normal look like medium and long term?

With all these unknowns, how do you continue to trade and grow?

Debra Levitt will be joined by Sam Gold, Gold HR and Rebecca Trudgett, Switchfoot Accounting to answer your questions on moving forward from an HR and Finance perspective.

So what's on your mind?  Here are just a few of the questions that our experts have been fielding from their clients.
How to manage employees who are now working remotely and not able to do a full day due to family commitments?
Are there ways to reduce my costs for clients - e.g. could I de-register for VAT?
What if I need to make my employees redundant as the furlough period comes to an end?
What can I legitimately do?
Should I turn down work and furlough or make more employees redundant?
I am trying to use the portal to make a claim for my furloughed employees but really worried that I've done the calculations wrong, what should I do?
