Today we’re focusing on your numbers and keeping on top of everything – namely your book keeping. Now if you do your book keeping yourself you’ll know how much time it takes up and how keeping on top of it all can sometimes be a challenge when you’re trying to do everything else. Ben's guest today is Mary Faber, who works with rural entrepreneurs of all kinds to help prevent that sense of overwhelm and take them from overwhelm to awareness. She does this through a virtual book keeping service and training. Mary is based 90 minutes outside of Chicago in the US. Make sure to check us out at RuralPod Media. You can follow Rural Business Focus and contact Ben on Twitter @ruralbf_pod or on Instagram @ruralbusinessfocusHave you thought about the benefits of podcasting for your business?

One of the challenges we face as rural businesses is how to connect with each other when we’re so geographically far apart. Herefordshire Rural Hub was founded in September 2004 to support economic, social and environmental improvements in the farming and rural business community in Herefordshire. From events and workshops to 1:1 business advice the hub works to ensure that local delivery and support is joined up. Today we hear more about the Hub’s work.Ben is joined by Kate Speke-Adams who is Managing Director of Herefordshire Rural Hub. Kate was a voluntary Director of the Hub since 2018, and in January 2023 she was appointed as MD to lead on the development of the Hub, made possible by the Prince’s Countryside Fund Farm Support Group initiative.Follow Herefordshire Rural Hub here.  Make sure to check us out at RuralPod Media. You can follow Rural Business Focus and contact Ben on Twitter @ruralbf_pod or on Instagram @ruralbusinessfocusHave you thought about the benefits of podcasting for your business?
