Mind Your Business With Sara & HelenShow Notes
In a very candid tete-a-tete, Sara and Helen explore what the goals for your business should be, how you decide upon them, and what impact they have on your life beyond work.

Meanwhile, Helen reveals how she's lost a member of staff as a result of the podcast, and Sara makes a clarion call to our new Prime Minister on behalf of small businesses. We also have our final instalment of Let's Be Frank, for exciting reasons which will become clear ... Thanks for listening. Please rate, review and subscribe - it really does make a big difference.

Chances are you have a set of core values that underpin the running of your business. But have you ever properly identified what those values are - or articulated them to your staff?

They explore what happens when values are compromised - as appears to have happened at Manchester City - and how beneficial it can be to your business if they are implemented properly.
