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.
