“I didn’t even know you existed.” This was my first introduction to Tina Bowden, the Micro-business Mentor. The statement, from Tina, not me, arose after she’d found my article about the difference between a Business Coach and a Business Mentor, and subsequently found that many of her contacts knew me.

Fast forward a few months and Tina invited me onto her ‘You and Your Business’ chat show.

In amongst Marcelo Bielsa, an interruption from Siri and a very noisy passing motorbike, there’s lots of great stuff in our conversation. Give it a watch below;
