In this episode Neil’s joined by his guest, Stuart Donaldson. Stuart’s the founder and owner of Banyan Co, and he’s an experienced banking and finance executive, educator, business coach and financial advocate for owners of small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
In this episode, Neil suggests flipping the traditional 3-step business model to become PROFIT, DELIVER, ATTRACT.
