It's time for another episode of our podcast, the Small Business Sessions.

The Small Business Sessions: Believe in yourself and keep on learning

Podcast

 focuses on helping start-ups and small businesses present the best side of themselves online and was founded by Enterprise Nation Member Elizabeth Malone-Johnstone.

With a masters degree in creative advertising, she fell into an online marketing job with a book publisher and caught the online bug.

Elizabeth is a lady who's always on the hunt for new experiences and challenges and in this session she recommends running your own business as a way to satisfy that. Listen for tips on building on community around you when going it alone and the importance of continual learning.

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve worked in marketing for over 15 years and I love it! No two days are the same and it&amp;rsquo;s this variety that makes marketing so special for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last company I worked for, Constant Contact, gave me the opportunity to work with 100s of small businesses across the UK. It was the best three years I&amp;rsquo;ve had in a job! The business owners I met were (and still are) incredible. And there&amp;rsquo;s a brilliant community for small businesses. You could say I was bitten by the small business bug.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2016, I was made redundant. I knew I still wanted to work with small businesses, so when my husband said I should start my own business, I didn&amp;rsquo;t need a huge amount of convincing. After all, I loved sharing marketing tips with small business owners, and this way, I could do it all the time. How could I not love that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if you struggle with getting your marketing done, I&amp;rsquo;d love to hear from you. You didn&amp;rsquo;t start your business to become a marketing expert. You do what you do because you love it. I want to help you figure out the marketing stuff so that you can make money! It&amp;rsquo;s as simple as that. When you succeed, so do I. Plus, I get a warm glow knowing I helped you. Get in touch and tell me your marketing struggles. I want to help demystify marketing for you so you can get on with the business of running your business!&lt;/p&gt;
