Seven Ways to Scale Your Business Webinar
Seven Ways to Scale Your Business Webinar
RADIO SHOWS
I present a business show on Meridian FM every Sunday at 2pm called 'Love Business with Alan Wick'. It’s available over the air in Surrey, Sussex and Kent, and on TuneIn internet radio. I interview experienced entrepreneurs who are not only happy to share their success stories, but are also willing to talk about their mistakes, what they’ve learned from them and are still learning as they continue along their journey. Plus there’s a Reflections Section at the end, where I link their experiences with learnings you can apply to your business.
If you have a question or a comment, call my 24 hour hotline +44 1342 889488 or you can email lovebusiness@alanwick.com.
