The cart stuck in the river with Sarah Yandell

At what point should a business owner put their foot on the accelerator and head for the heights? Alternatively at what point should that person put their hand up and say ‘I’m stuck’! Business coach [https://yandellcoaching.com/blogs]Sarah Yandell [https://yandellcoaching.com/blogs] knows all too well that fast growth without structure leads to chaos whereas little or no growth will inevitably just fizzle out. As a woman who’s grown more than one business to six figures, Sarah has lived the dramas and put right the mistakes so she is now in a great position to help others who want to grow their businesses especially if the cart has got stuck in the river. On a beautiful spring day Sarah took Jill Sainsbury on a walk along the banks of the River Stour on the Essex-Suffolk border to talk about how she got to where she is, helped along with way by the odd dip in the river.

Aprendido with Andy Candler

When starting out in our careers we’re all encouraged to ‘think big’ so that one day we’ll ‘make it’ in whatever form that takes. Once there, what then? Learning consultant Andy Candler did indeed ‘make it’ reaching the top of his profession, running a highly successful agency, managing staff and huge budgets but then it all came to an end. Andy had to change tack. That change included a trip to Bogota, learning Spanish and using his years of learning tech experience to start again on a new but equally rewarding course.
