Our NEW Advanced Business Boost Starts Soon!
It’s not long now before our Advanced Business Boost course kicks off, starting on the 4th of November!
We have an exciting line-up, with James Court of Boost Your Business Network hosting a six-week series of workshops in Newton Abbot Library, alongside workshops and events hosted by many other experts. This course, aimed at start-ups and businesses who need more specialist guidance, will leave you with renewed inspiration to further your business goals.
James Court will be hosting the first of his core sessions with an informative first look at changing your business goals. If you have followed a pattern in your start-up or business that you want to change, but need to know how to realistically implement new goals whilst managing a team, James will help steer you in the right direction.
It’ll be a fantastic opportunity to recentre your business, with time to network after the event with like-minded peers about your takeaways from the session. Hopefully, you’ll leave the workshop making valuable connections that will extend beyond the course!
Please come to as many sessions as you can attend, whether that’s in person or online. Check out our full programme on Eventbrite, and book while tickets last.

Our Boost Your Start-Up Course Concludes!
We’ve recently come to the end of our Boost Your Start-Up course! These past seven weeks have been fantastic. It’s been great to see start-ups of all shapes and sizes engaging with our workshops and making those valuable connections. They benefitted a lot from our speakers, especially James Court as his workshops were massively successful, but also other entrepreneurs who looked for advice in the various stages of starting up their businesses.
For those who couldn’t come or those who are curious about viewing our course materials online, recordings are available on our courses page for you to watch, along with our other webinars where appropriate.
