The Importance of Supporting Local Businesses

Hospitality was and always will be the first love of my life. I spent a couple of decades in hospitality very hands on managing, you know, 30 or 40 businesses and hundreds of staff at any one given time. The problems that I had from a very younger age in business to when I was quite a bit older, were always the same. We don't often have skills to cope with our own people or customers. A lot of business owners have an ego and they don't think anyone can do their job better than them. So I like to encourage other small business owners or whichever size you are to recognise the talent around you and not just encourage it, but leverage it.
