“You've just got to get in and try to get things done, as quickly as you can, if you want to get somewhere.”
If you, like me, are someone who left a corporate career to jump into business ownership you’ll relate to the feeling of reminiscing over the good old days of regular salary and knowing which means you can live within [and you have probably also scrolled the LinkedIn jobs section when the day is particularly tough!].
It’s a cloud that hangs around us for a number of reasons, and it’s something that today’s guest really understands.
Dale is COO of Platinum Outsourcing - a business he joined as a partner – which provides us a super interesting perspective of stepping into business ownership in this way.
And we get to hear about how beneficial outsourcing can be for a small business, and debunk a few myths about the industry of outsourcing offshore.
You’ll also hear about:
Taking a business risk in the most formative years of your potential as an employee
The challenge of trying to build back to a salary you’ve been used to
Not falling into the entrepreneurial trap of working around the clock
Evolving a business as it goes
Learning to navigate business interests in a country other than your own
And selling when you’re not a salesperson.
I strongly believe we learn the most from people in different business models, stages and industries to our own – so I know you’re going to get a lot from this chat.
