Flying Solo Live was a great day for me to spend some time away from the business to think about strategy, catch up with some friends and meet new contacts.

It was also a day of inspiration. I picked up lots of points to take away and act on as soon as I walked back into the office, so I thought I might share some from my favourite presenters with you.

Julia Bickerstaff – The Business Bakery: have big, hairy, audacious goals for your business – and make them happen!

Tim Reid – Small Business, Big Marketing: be clear about your business personality and how that affects prospective customers.

Ben Angel – Industry Domination Insights: is your business Coke or Pepsi? Who doesn’t want to be the market leader?
