So what do you think small business owners get wrong when it comes to being heard and having influence? I think it's that

keeping small, keeping to themselves a lot of the time.

And we've said, you know, we've got a great business community here.

Anyone watching this from anywhere will probably find a really good, you know, core business community wherever they're from.

But in Lincolnshire, I think we've got that really strong business community.

But there's also, you know, there's always that pride that people maybe don't want to let on that something's going great or projects not going fantastically or financially things aren't that easy and a you know pretty difficult economic time but some people don't want to let that on and why should they it's often personal and private but keeping to yourself doesn't get things changed it certainly doesn't you know sunlight's the best um disinfectant as they say speaking to someone whether that you know you've got a problem or you've got an opportunity speaking to someone sharing it and getting it you know getting it off the Soul shoulders, particularly in a place like here where we've got loads of people that work on their own, soul openers, self-employed, soul trader, however they want to pitch themselves, can be a pretty lonely place.

Absolutely.
