Welcome to The Project Future Podcast, for people looking to launch and build their own amazing business, with me, Rob Kerr. A few years ago, I asked myself: “How can people considering starting a business be confident they are making the right decision, and how can they improve their chances of success?” The answer has become my book titled Project Future: 6 Steps to Success as Your Own Boss, a Facebook group called The Project Future Club, where we support each other to launch and build our own amazing businesses, and this podcast, where every Tuesday a business owner shares their story, including great tips about what to do, and what not to do, when launching and growing a business to empower you to make better decisions on your own journey. You’ll find the show notes and transcripts at www.robkerr.co.uk So, in these uncertain times, if starting a business could be the right option for you and your family, read the book, join the Facebook group and enjoy the show!
