Recently, it's been wonderful having my long-time friend from Italy visit. We hadn't seen each other since 2019, and reconnecting after so long reminded me how much life can change. It’s interesting and a bit bittersweet to see how we’ve both grown in different ways, yet our friendship remains strong despite the distance. In the journey of entrepreneurship, just like in life, growth often means leaving some things behind. Building a business has brought me new challenges and opportunities, and along the way, I've met incredible new people and formed meaningful connections. Just as my friend’s visit brought back old memories and a sense of grounding, revisiting our core values and initial motivations can be just as enriching for our professional lives. Sometimes, stepping away from the familiar is necessary for growth, but it’s also important to stay open to the unexpected returns that enrich our journeys. Reflecting on this visit, I'm reminded of the balance we strive for as entrepreneurs—pursuing new ventures and innovations while valuing and nurturing the relationships that support us. It's this blend of old and new that makes the entrepreneurial journey so fulfilling. Here’s to embracing change, cherishing connections, and continuing to grow in ways we might not always expect. #EntrepreneurLife #GrowthAndChange #BusinessConnections #ReflectAndGrow

In today's entrepreneurial world, many successful businesses are run by individuals from their homes, yet the perception of professionalism is crucial. Consumers often trust larger, established companies more, making it vital for smaller businesses to project a similar image of reliability. A dedicated business landline number plays a key role in enhancing a company's credibility and approachability, emulating the professional presence of industry leaders. My daily practice of offering my company's landline before my mobile number consistently evokes a positive response, signaling legitimacy to students, parents, and business owners alike. This simple yet effective strategy not only boosts credibility but also significantly narrows the gap between being perceived as a startup and an established business. For small enterprises looking to make a mark and build trust, adopting such a communication approach is not merely advantageous—it's a game-changer. #Bridge2Brit #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusinessTips #BusinessGrowth #ProfessionalImage #CustomerTrust #BusinessStrategy #HomeOffice #BusinessCommunication #BrandPerception #Credibility #BusinessInnovation #SMEs #WorkFromHome #BusinessDevelopment #Education #Immigration #CareerDevelopment #InternationalStudents #GlobalMobility #BusinessGrowth

INSPIRE – what a fitting word for entrepreneurs! As the Founder of M-Brace Ltd, I attended the INSPIRE Entrepreneurial Festival by IMH Business in #Nicosia and it was such an incredible experience. From connecting with industry leaders to hearing inspiring stories from young entrepreneurs (including Forbes' "30 under 30") it was packed with valuable insights. Natasa Pilides you were a fantastic stage master! Here are my top 10 takeaways: 1. The "What IFs" will always be there – embrace risk and sacrifice. 2. Failure is OK – stay passionate and keep moving forward. 3. Work with people who truly value what you offer. 4. It’s not about what you like, it’s about what your customers like. Leanne Leaver 5. Done is better than perfect. Alexander Naydenov 6. There’s no "I’ve made it" – it’s all about the journey. Joanna Patsalis 7. A little knowledge can be dangerous – keep learning. 8. Challenge your thoughts – can you think differently? Dr. Linda Papadopoulos 9. Relationships and connections are the key to success. 10. Travel and open your mind – even small details like the colourful shoes people are wearing in Thailand could spark inspiration.
