February is the shortest month of the year, but it can feel like the longest! If you're struggling to find the motivation and drive for your rural business, social enterprise or self-employed practice this month, here are some ways we can help:

Learning Sessions: Our online learning sessions can help you develop important skills, sparking fresh ideas and inspiration. This month we’ll cover things you need to consider if you're just starting up, which will give you a clear direction for your next steps, and how to create beautiful designs for your business using Canva, which is sure to ignite your creativity.

1-1 Support: Feel supported during 1-1 chats with our friendly Enterprise Facilitators, who can help you overcome challenges, identify where you need assistance, encourage you to prioritise your well-being, and provide answers to your questions. You can get in touch at connect@growbiz.co.uk, or attend one of our Thursday afternoon drop-in surgeries.

Mentoring: Our mentoring programme can support you to overcome internal barriers, such as lack of confidence, as well as providing a listening ear and a sounding board for your ideas. Or perhaps you’re ready to share what you know with others as a volunteer mentor? Giving back can help us feel positive, useful and empowered.
