New research: Burning out is a burning fear for small business owners

One fifth are worried about burning out over the next 12 months.

&lt;p&gt;Hi, I'm Lindsey Moore, a business development and marketing adviser to b2b small business owners, coaches, consultants and advisers. I have spent over 20 years successfully growing, advising and empowering small businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I provide a practical advice, coaching and hands-on support to help my clients scale or pivot their business. My clients are business owners, consultants and coaches who - up to now - have grown their business based on recommendation. By being excellent in their field, knowing their subject, delivering tangible benefits to their clients, my clients have grown something very special – genuine trust.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, they have come to realise that if they want to scale their business, they are going to have to generate an additional source of new clients i.e. with people and other businesses who have never heard of them before and who aren’t coming to them ready-armed with the assurance of a trusted recommendation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I help my clients understand how to get really good at approaching ‘cold’ prospects, opening new conversations and building a sustainable pipeline of new leads which drives growth. I help my clients understand where to start and how to focus their time and energy to achieve the greatest impact and results when it comes to business development and marketing in the most cost effective way possible - skills I’ve spent my entire career learning, honing and refining.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Specifically, my services include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;? Marketing and business development coaching - ongoing advice and mentoring to help help you identify a plan, put it into action and monitor and review your activity&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;? Flexible, practical, hands-on support - including creation of marketing content, graphic design support, social media management, LinkedIn lead generation&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You may be wondering why is my business called 'Agnes' Marketing when my name is Lindsey. Well, when I was a little girl my mum used to say to me "always do what you love and you'll never have to 'work' a day in your life". I took her advice and 30 years later I named&amp;nbsp;my business after her. Welcome to Agnes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Get in touch today to talk about the next stage of your business journey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I left the City in 2016 when it became clear that life with small children and a full-time executive career wasn’t for me. &amp;nbsp;I wanted to create something that really helped people, like me, who were forging a way forward, balancing work with family life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When my children went to school I realised there were many highly talented individuals unable to return to work due to the limitations of childcare. &amp;nbsp;I also started to meet a number of exciting small&amp;nbsp;businesses in need of support but were struggling to find an appropriate level of flexibility, quality and knowledge for their growing businesses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This developed into a passion for building a solution for both sides. &amp;nbsp;A truly supportive working environment where people can thrive outside a classic 9-5 office structure whist providing reliable, high calibre support to businesses and individuals looking to achieve more productivity and peace of mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;SpareMyTime was born!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
