Phil Fraser’s Business Journey

As part of the Leeds Digital Festival in September 2021 I delivered a live webinar charting my business journey from a accidental kitchen table, zero investment start up all the way through to a multi-million pound sale 18 years later. I also explored the 10 key business lessons that I learnt on that journey. They are applicable to every Business Owenr.

Whilst my talk could have covered many different areas though the growth of the business and eventual sale, I covered what I consider the 7 key stages of my business journey. You may well find some of them similar and relevant to your journey.

The talk covered, amongst other topics;

  • The failed angel investment pitch that led to the accidental launch of the business
  • The first ‘big scary step’ taking on an office and staff
  • 80% of the business disappearing overnight
  • The company BHAG
  • Google Panda and Penguin and their effect on the business
  • An aborted sale and Plan B
  • Being told to ‘keep my nose out’ of my own business!
  • How the sale of the business came about

The 10 key business lessons relate to my business journey but can relate to any business that you may be running.
