Rather than going for a "trial-and-error approach", new business owners are advised to tap into the power of a reliable brain trust that can help drive their success. In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, host Grace Ormsby is joined by Daniel Alexander, the managing director of LJ Hooker Southern Gold Coast, to talk about how he made the strategic pivot from being a human resources manager, including the challenges, changes and choices he encountered when he became an entrepreneur. Now with the business spanning three locations and a significantly expanded rent roll after opening its doors almost eight years ago, Daniel talks about how having a group of trusted colleagues has been instrumental in helping the business's growth and direction before touching on what lies ahead in the next five years.
