Success in business rarely occurs in a vacuum, but is more often the result of the guidance of those who have already been there and found their own path to success. Think of the relationships between Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, or Freddie Lake and Richard Branson – business and life experience that established names generously share with up-and-comers.
The importance of experience and learning from others cannot be overstated, and with this in mind Smart Company Proud to present Ask Us Anything: Connecting you with expert mentors, a new 12-part series in partnership with Optus Business. Each month we'll tackle a different topic about owning and managing a small business. It could be tax and finance, expansion and growth, technology and artificial intelligence, or performance improvement – anything related to small business to help you succeed. You'll have the opportunity to submit your own questions for each topic and a business expert will answer three of them, offering his own insight shaped by years of business experience.
With Optus Business, we connect you with experts, people who have made mistakes and learned lessons. Now is your chance to reach out and ask us anything.
