It's time for episode four of The Small Business Sessions, Enterprise Nation's new podcast.

The Small Business Sessions: The accidental language entrepreneur

Podcast

Founded by Enterprise Nation Member Mark Bailey, 

 provides professional, personalised and specialised language training. It definitely wasn't what he set out to do though.

With an economics degree and a background in finance, Mark's decision to go travelling found him teaching English by accident and that's where it all began!

This latest session has some great advice about how useful your old contacts can be even when you find yourself wanting to do something a little bit different.

To ensure you don't miss out on the podcast, 

We first met Mark at StartUp Saturday, our monthly one day business class in London.

I am on a mission to level out the international playing field for ESL entrepreneurs by developing their marketing communications in English and helping them build global brands. I CAN HELP YOU IF: ?? You&apos;re a non-native English-speaking business owner (with or without a team) who wants to sell services internationally. ?? You&apos;re a non-native English-speaking business owner (with or without a team) who wants to sell services to a specific English-speaking market. WHAT YOU&apos;LL GET: ?? Get visible and credible in the international market and build meaningful relationships with English-speaking audiences. ?? Stand out globally in your niche and be recognised as a go-to expert in your field to attract international speaking opportunities as well as English-speaking clients. ?? We achieve this by helping you implement a variety of strategies that build your brand equity. WHAT IS BRAND EQUITY AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE: Brand equity represents the power of a brand - that&apos;s what allows T-shirts with certain logos to cost 10 times more than others, for example. WHY CHOOSE ME: ?? I&apos;ve helped service-based businesses from 18 countries build brands that attract and engage English-speaking international audiences. ?? My methods are based on the brand equity framework developed by the father of branding, David Aaker in 1990, which has been used by millions of businesses to build strong brands. ?? I&apos;ve been recognised for my contribution to the field of marketing and advertising by Marketing 2.0 - the Global Gathering of Brand Builders and Marketers - with an Outstanding Leadership Award. ?? I graduated top of my class with Distinction from my MSc in International Marketing, and my dissertation on brand equity building for services was one of the strongest research pieces of the year. ?? I am a guest lecturer in Strategic Brand Management at Edinburgh Napier University and a trusted brand strategy guest expert at the Business Gateway, the largest organisation supporting start-ups in the UK. ?? I am a business owner and the brand manager of my company that markets internationally. ?? I have lived in 7 different countries, so I have a great understanding of intercultural communication.
