Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Gill Tiney, Founder of Collaboration Global, located in London, UK.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are a community that come together to support, challenge, and learn from each other so that we can spread our message and support more people than we can on our own.
Tell us about yourself
I've been fascinated by the potential of collaboration for about a decade. It can be utilised for an individual to grow, for a business to reach the next level and for a society to come together and support each other. We simply must discard the old transactional model of collaboration and embrace an abundant mindset to make miracles happen. I have written two books on the subject, one focusing on why we should collaborate and one looking at the how. Being around the Collaboration Global community demonstrates what huge potential there is through collaborating.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Connecting people so that they can achieve so much more than on their own is my biggest joy. When people experience true collaboration, it takes on a life of its own.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Time evaporates, there is always more that can be done, and often it is difficult to draw the line. (especially when you are enjoying what you do).
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Surround yourself with good people.
- Find a mentor or coach, so you learn from their mistakes.
- Enjoy the ride!
