Starting a business is one thing, expanding your range of contacts and business opportunities is a different challenge. For small or micro businesses this is all the more important because they are particularly vulnerable in their early years.

One of the key issues facing people deciding to start a business is lack of confidence. Doubts about when to make a start, if you’re ready and how to do it are natural concerns but when combined with the challenge of finding new customers/suppliers, talking to them and forging beneficial relationships, it all doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people. Motivating yourself to keep the momentum needed to establish your business is essential.
