Successful and would-be successful entrepreneurs can access several video clips containing the first few points of the 7 Point Plan – ‘Accepting today’s business reality’, ‘Rapid product and service innovation’ and ‘Creating a local pool of freelance talent’ – at www.ragstowreckages.com. To access the remaining four points from the plan, they will need to sign up to the free Rags to Wreckages Successful Entrepreneur newsletter. The newsletter delivers a helpful monthly digest of all the latest news and feature articles on the Rags to Wreckages website.

Subsequent video clips will cover business overheads, marketing innovation, business efficiencies and ‘you’.

Digital magazine Rags to Wreckages… to Riches offers business strategy advice to successful and would-be successful entrepreneurs based on the premise that we can learn more from our mistakes than our successes. It offers short, insightful articles on various topics, from business goal setting, to outsourcing, and the benefits of keeping a business lean.

Neil Lewis, publisher of Rags to Wreckages and partner of its parent company MediaModo, says: “As business leaders, we are living in difficult times – we have less cash and fewer resources, but have the same need to grow. Added to that, we know that government cuts to spending are inevitable and will impact at least some of our customers if not our businesses directly.  Surviving is all about flexibility and speed. At Rags to Wreckages we’ve looked at how successful entrepreneurs are preparing to weather the storm and we share these insights in our 7 point plan.”
