Description

Uncovering the Truth Behind Entrepreneurship: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Challenges and Triumphs of Business Owners

The leaky bucket podcast takes a look behind the scenes of entrepreneurs' businesses into what really happens and goes on.  We uncover the real truth rather than the social-media-ready posts that make things look amazing.  We uncover and understand the trials and tribulations that business owners face and what it takes to go from challenge to challenge with renewed vigour.

In this series, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of how we started our business, the obstacles we faced, and the processes we developed to overcome them.  We'll share our experiences and lessons learned, giving you a real-world view of what it takes to build a successful business.  Not only that we will provide real insight into the challenges and the successes happening right now as we live them.


We might be accountants but this isn’t about accounting.  This is about owning a business, the resilience required to overcome the constant challenges and how to take you and your business to new levels that you have never been before.


We know that running a business can be tough, but it's also rewarding. 


Our hope is that by sharing our stories, we can help you to navigate the challenges and also ensure you celebrate the victories.
