    How to form an advisory board for your small business

    Hi everyone, We haven’t released a full podcast episode in a while, but I want to tell you why. This has actually been a strategic decision, we realised that podcasts are a very competitive industry and it’s hard to get seen on those platforms. But the good news is we decided to pivot. We had started releasing the podcast on YouTube, because that’s SEO optimised. And then something happened… ….we got traction, we started growing our subscribers, we even got some sponsors! So YouTube is where we are continuing to invest our time. The good news is you get the same Candid content from us, the same business advice and arguably even more juicy details because we can show you all the visuals!If you have been enjoying our podcast so far, please support us by subscribing on Youtube - every new follower we get helps us gain sponsors so we can keep doing this content for you! And now for this episode. Of course it’s on YouTube but this one makes a juicy condensed podcast episode too. How to form an advisory board. We’ve done it for us - no investment, no equity given away, no payments. It’s all voluntary and incredibly helpful. You can make it happen for your business, it was the single best thing we did for our strategy this year. Enjoy! Lucy & Andy How to get more from your business: Here at Candid Founders we are all about transparency and growth. Which is why we are sharing everything we know about growing our own business, so you can learn from us. So there are a few things we offer that can help you with your business. * Our Youtube channel shares weekly videos giving you advice, tips and behind the scenes knowledge that you can learn from. * We offer consulting services via flexible packages, so you can bring our knowledge directly into your own business. We can support you through regular calls and your very own WhatsApp chat so you can ask those burning questions as soon as they pop into your head! * We’ve created a digital course that will take you from 0-1,000 wholesale orders in 18 months.
