What is it that makes Exports so foreign to many SMEs?
Export Experts - Podcast from The Profit Margin - Jim Fitzpatrick and Naomi Mc Mullan
 
To really grow your business, accessing new markets is crucial to many firms. So what’s your market? To whom and where do you sell your goods and services? Do you export?

It’s surprising how few businesses in Northern Ireland do. What is it that makes exporting so foreign to so many? This podcast from The Profit Margin explores the barriers to export, and asks firms and individuals who are export experts about the challenges and opportunities.

Featured: Aidan Gough InterTradeIreland, Mark Nodder from Wrightbus, Irene McAleese from See.Sense, Ricky Martin from The Skunk Works Surfboard company and start-up Daniel Crawford from Axial3D.

PODCAST DURATION : 25 MINUTES

The Burren Smokehouse in County Clare was recently featured in a major new documentary series being produced by ITV. 

Wild Ireland, a primetime six-part series, saw presenter Christine Bleakley returning home to Ireland to travel the length of its 1500-mile west coast - the longest continuous coastal route - known as the Wild Atlantic Way.  

The series was devised by Big Mountain Productions, a Newry-based production company, but supported by Tourism Ireland, within their strategy to highlight the Wild Atlantic Way around the world.

We start every day knowing we’re not going to get it all done or fit it all in. How we spend our time is really a function of priorities. That’s why Peter Bregman argues in 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done that we need to plan ahead, “create a to-do list and an ignore list, and use our calendars.”

“The hardest attention to focus,” he writes, “is our own.”
