The small business environment is a tough one.  The South African policy environment does not make it any easier.  As someone who works in this policy environment, the BW network offers a breath of fresh air - simple solutions for (apparently) complex problems.  Now if we could just get the Department of Trade and Industry to join....

The advice of fellow warriors has saved me time, trouble and a lot of money! Thanks Pete!

Thanks fellow warriors!

When I started my first company, I had no idea what I let myself in for. A client suggested that I look at the Business Worriers website, and what Peter Carruthers could do for me.

The information proved to be invaluable, and all the people on the forum absolutely amazing.

In the meantime, I sold my first business (something I would not have known how to do were it not for BWs and Peter). My second business is a thriving success (Even during this recession) and again a large part of it is thanks to Peter and the rest of the Business worriers.

I would recommend any person who already has a small business, or who plans on starting one, to join the Business Worrier Community. You will not be sorry.

Thanks Pete.

Business Warriors has been a beacon of light for me.   Being a small business it is very difficult to find help and get practical advice on business matters without having to pay heavy consulting fees.   Business Warriors provides a wealth of information.   I have also attended two courses: "How to Crash Proof your buisness" and "Finding More Clients".   Both were excellent value providing invaluable tips and suggestions.   There is incredible interaction between the Warriors - each providing information on matters of which you may not even be aware.   There is just so much red tape today that one needs a full time staff member just to keep pace with changes.   Business Warriors keeps you fully informed.   We are blessed to have access to this organisation.
