Develop Another Business

What this episode covers

Teaching, tutoring and coaching may be the thing you love primarily, but being in business for yourself can often open your eyes to more business opportunities that come your way. Neil talks about the dangers of the bright, shiny project that can pull you away from your first love, tutoring but also how having more than a single business can free you to enjoy what you find the most fun.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Choose businesses that are fun for you or offer a hands off model. A second business is about decreasing risk and increasing stability. Joint venture with others especially if they have complimentary skills or resources Be careful when you choose your venture that it does not rob resources, time and energy from the pastime that you love..   BEST MOMENTS ‘Don’t get me wrong I think we should all have a second business or a third or a fourth, just as a source of income.’  ‘It could potentially make you more useful to the people around you in all sorts of capacities.’ ‘Then ask yourself, what would I have to give up in order to pursue this new idea?’  ‘What are the opportunities that are lying all around you? One of them could be exactly what you need.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast  www.Neilcowmeadow.com   ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years’ experience in the business of helping people.
