165 Hugh Viney: Building A Business That Doesn't Need You (And Other Lessons Learnt)
This is one of the most powerful discussions I've had on the podcast.
Hugh Viney, CEO of Minerva Tutors and Minerva Virtual Academy, shares his honest methods that helped him:
- Create a tuition business that didn't need him
- Create an online school using a £50k loan from his tuition business
My favourite thing about this conversation is how Hugh breaks down all of his decisions making it accessible to anyone aspiring to take their businesses to new heights.
Enjoy :-)
