Stick Or Twist - When Is The Right Time To Grow?

Risk it all, be hyper-conservative, or position yourself somewhere in between? Growth is sexy, as Sara feely admits, but not necessarily the right way to develop your business. The girls reflect upon the merits of pushing on or holding back when it comes to expansion. And there are merits to both, depending on your circumstances. Plenty to consider, including whether it's an ambition you even want to embrace. Sara's husband, Simon, makes his debut on the podcast with some practical accountancy advice, and Jill wonders if she's the only one who thinks her friends perceive small business owners to have endless amounts of free-time (surprise, surprise - they don't, is the general consensus) ...
