Brain, Brawn & Business

In this episode I talk to Gary White who is a real entrepreneur. Gary is a great guy who genuinely loves helping people and is so popular amongst his peers. It was a fun chat with a gentleman I hugely respect. .. He shared so much great business advice, but here’s some key take home points. What I’ve done in this podcast is in the summary I do at the end, I’ve embellished his points to give more context around them. Let me know if that helps. .. ➡️ To be different in your industry and be led by the market not by your product. ➡️ To wait 24 hours to make a decision on issues/problems to allow you to think clearly. ➡️ Learn the art of delegation and only do what only you can do. The rest can be passed on to others. ➡️ To deal with things rather than put them off. Not doing is more stressful than doing and getting it wrong. ➡️ Weekly review of things learned for that week. ➡️ The importance of building and retaining relationships. Essential for any business. ... Gary has so much going on so in the notes of the podcast you can read more about his story and his work in business and you can connect with him below: ..

Gary White is a chartered accountant and entrepreneur, nowadays running a family company that provides Research and Development tax services to companies of all sizes, sectors and stages. Gary is amazed at the number of companies he comes across who are unaware of just how valuable R&D tax relief can be, as many business owners just seem to think it relates to companies in the high tech sectors. It is in fact much wider than that and his company, Aspen Waite have now claimed successfully many substantial refunds of tax that have helped companies to grow further and expand. ..
