Last year, I read a book a month as I have done for the past 20 years.

If I had to pick my favourite from 2025, it would be - How Big Things Get Done

I have created a summary so that you can get the gist of the book, but if you have time, I highly recommend giving it a go. It transcends its core focus on the failure of megaprojects; you will find the learnings can be applied to business growth too.

And the hits just keep on coming...but don't let the headlines write your story.

It's been a rough few years for business owners. Lockdowns, cost of living crisis, wars, economic chaos, you name it, we've dealt with it. The recent Autumn budget wasn't great, but could have been worse.

There definitely IS a point, and it's more important during times of crisis than ever.

Markets will continue to be challenging for a while yet. So what can we do about it? How do we make sure we're ready to grab the opportunities when they arise?

I've put together 6 tips to help you navigate all this and come out the other side stronger. Check out my latest newsletter. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-market-your-way-out-crisis-business-growth-expert--f3nve
