The blog for small business owners who are ready for change
I’m Steven Naudé. I work with small business owners across the greater Auckland region to transform their companies into thriving enterprises.
This blog features some of the tools and insights I share with customers for their individual or business development.
I have worked as a general manager in very large and very small organisations for 25 years. In that time, I have experienced great successes as well as my share of failures, and have learnt valuable lessons from every one.
I am still learning and would love to share my lessons with small business owners and to learn from them on their journeys.
Working as part of a 20-strong national team, I offer a free evaluation service to those entrepreneurs who want to breathe new life into their businesses. As part of the free consultation I conduct a detailed business diagnostic process and provide a summary report which illustrates where potential profit is leaking from the business. This service carries no obligation and is entirely free of charge.
You can learn more about me from my LinkedIn page.
