‘You’ve got to be abundance and goal-focused’

They discuss the minimum size a serviced accommodation business needs to get to in order to be able to survive and thrive and what sorts of input and support will facilitate effective growth and scale. 

This episode raises some really interesting points for any serviced accommodation entrepreneur and provides some great advice on how you can move forward effectively in the serviced accommodation space. Listen in and enjoy. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We have coaches and mentors across the UK,  this means they are able to offer tailored advice for specific areas such as London. 


• We directly provide financial management and routes to market. 


• If we don’t advise on a particular area then we can put people in touch with someone with the right knowledge and expertise. 


• We help people with LinkedIn and Google. when you get your profile right on LinkedIn then people will start coming to you. 


• We are in a red ocean marketplace – there are a lot of sharks in the water. Within the next year, lots of smaller companies will go out of business.
