We\u2019ve talked about it before on ScaleUp Radio - but Mark\u2019s take on *why* it\u2019s so true is worth a listen  - What the *real* key to a successful business is.  -  The best relationship to have with your employees; how to get the best out of them, for good and bad   There\u2019s also a section at the end of the presentation where other business owners get to ask him a few  questions.   Mark is an incredibly successful entrepreneur, and it\u2019s clear how passionate he is about not only his own business - but helping other business owners to succeed also.
