This is almost the end of our 10 part series teaching you how to start a business from some of the best in the field.

 Today’s guest is someone who not only am I inspired by, she’s been. Named one of the top 15 business coaches by the New York Times

Steph Gorton joins me to chat about her first business venture, what its like starting a business when you had never considered yourself an ‘entrepreneur’. 

We chat about coping with hyper growth and 3 clear steps to set yourself up for success along with how to know when its time to sell and what to look out for when selling your business. 

This conversation is so valuable and insightful one of the common themes throughout is how mindset and surrounding yourself with the right circle is key to achieving your goals and Steph is generous enough to share some great tips on how to get that right as well.
