Shiny Does Not Make Brilliant

Did you know anyone can set up a business that says it can help you grow your business?

They need no qualifications, they can just read some books, google some info, and set up programs and training for business.

Things like Canva and Lumen 5 can make you look sleek and professional online (for free), but it also means you’ve easily duped into believing a pretty sales page or social media account.
