I watched the video from @Mike Greene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7DQk7YNwTo). regarding EIS/SEIS, and a great video leading on with (Oliver Woolley) Envestors , I have just had a call with "SeedLegals" about the application process, does anyone have experience of this organisation, and as a start-up does this route for finance something I should consider now? I was a bit taken back by their fee, which sounds 'too cheap' +1%, their pitch sounds very good - but something is nagging me - what it is, I dont know. Im looking to raise money to fund recruitment, this route sounds like an ideal avenue. Thoughts anyone?

Is there anyone on the group attending this years Business Show 2025 12th/13th November greatbritishbusinessshow.co.uk Im going on the 12th - if anyone fancies meeting up for a chat, interesting to you know also if anyone has a stand there.

Not because he’s quiet, But because he’s listening. If people don’t feel you’re listening, they stop hearing you. It’s that simple. When someone feels you’re truly listening, They lean in. They want to hear your response. But when they sense you’re just waiting to talk, They switch off before you finish your sentence. Most people listen to reply. Few listen to understand. And that difference changes everything. Jeff Bezos once said that in every meeting, He’s always the last to speak. Because he wants to hear everyone’s opinion Before it’s diluted or poisoned by his own. He truly, truly, truly wants to understand every perspective Before he forms his own and makes the final decision. That’s real leadership. When people feel genuinely heard, Your words carry weight. Your advice lands deeper. Your influence grows stronger. So next time you’re in a conversation, Consciously stop talking. Let them finish all they have to say. Then respond with relevance, not reflex. That’s how you earn attention. And that’s when people really start to listen back.
