Confidence is said to be everything. That’s not strictly true, because other things in life and business are also important. But, confidence can help you to overcome challenges, build relationships, take risks, deal with setbacks but ultimately achieve great things. You need to have confidence in yourself and your business. So, why might that not be the case? What impact can a lack of confidence have on you and your bottom line? Crucially, what can you do to build up your confidence in yourself and your business and what’s the best way to communicate that confidence to your customers?
In this fascinating episode, which contains lots of practical advice, these and other key questions are answered by Debbie Green, founder of award-winning Wishfish Coaching & Development and co-host of the Secrets From a Coach podcast.

About PPL PRS and TheMusicLicence
PPL PRS is a joint venture between the UK’s two music licensing organisations – PPL and PRS for Music. Previously, businesses had to obtain separate music licences from PPL and PRS for Music. However, they have come together to form PPL PRS Ltd and launched TheMusicLicence to provide a streamlined music licensing service, with a single point of contact, to make it easier to legally play and perform music in public.
Under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders – those people who create music – in order to play or perform music in public. TheMusicLicence gives you this permission, in relation to the vast majority of commercially available music from all over the world. This ranges from grassroots and independent artists and composers through to the biggest names in the business.
Other than business costs, all of the licence fee goes back to the talented, passionate people who write, perform, compose, record or publish the music you listen to. So, by purchasing TheMusicLicence for your business, you are supporting the future of music by helping to ensure its creators are fairly rewarded for their work.
