Soup season has arrived!

People often ask how to use #sevensistersspices pickles & chutneys- particularly the Harissa & Preserved Lemons 🍋 There are so many different ways to use them, this is one of my favourites....

@MicroBiz_Hour @alicemara22 We love the use of humour - it can be such a great stress buster!

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour @peterkyle Fantastic connection! We shall look forward to hearing how the meeting goes

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour While #microbusiness receive so little support in the form of funding & grants it’s easy to see how insecurities around all things financial can arise. We need to claim our right to receive capital, in the form of both payment & investment

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

This one comes up such a lot amongst our members - it can be such an emotive topic to talk about. We love @alicemara22 advice she gave to jeweller Oriana, that she adopts a different name & persona when dealing with money 💛 https://t.co/paB7oFtiBx

[Micro Business Hour @MicroBiz_Hour]

Good evening everyone! We're live with #MicroBiz_Hour. How is everyone? This week we're talking about assertiveness and asking for money. Do you think #microbusiness owners find it harder than other businesses and if so why?

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@JoMortimer2903 Please do, next one is July 10th, theme TBC https://t.co/309AzJexMU

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

One of our founding principles! https://t.co/mhpYrlmbv2

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour If we are concerted and combined in our efforts, surely we will be heard? #TogetherStronger

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

Don’t miss it next week and catch up on this week’s chat if you can @ContentBoutique @LewesDC @100DesignsLewes @Hannahsvan @jengale_ @ethicalhour @SianEConway @LewesFarmMarket @LewesFoodMarket https://t.co/H7piotghWN

[Micro Business Hour @MicroBiz_Hour]

Lovely to chat everyone. See you same time next week. Spread the word and let me know what you want to talk about! Next stop #worldmicrobusinessday !

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour Let’s do this! 😃

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@SevenSpices @MicroBiz_Hour Oh this is a great idea, we would love to be involved in that!

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour If we are concerted and combined in our efforts, surely we will be heard? #TogetherStronger

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@SevenSpices @MicroBiz_Hour We’d be interested to know what the proportion of female to male is within the microbusiness sector and whether that has a bearing on government and societal attitudes towards them

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@MicroBiz_Hour How do we get our voices heard? Is it best to lobby locally via our MPs?

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

@SevenSpices @LewesNibbler @LewesDC We’d love to hear too!

[Lewes WB @LewesWB]

This is top of our members list in terms of information they want to find - it’s frustrating how little actual funding there is for all the countless #microbusiness practices we have in the UK https://t.co/krTtsl8m4Z

[Micro Business Hour @MicroBiz_Hour]

So good evening everyone. Welcome to #MicroBiz_Hour! The forum for the huge growing community of #microbusiness is the UK. So why don't we have a voice? And why is it so hard to get #funding? Would love to hear from you all about any funding success you have had!
