It’s impossible to get where you want to be in business without the necessary support. Whether it be emotional, professional or financial support, you will likely need a bit of each – at some point, at least – to be able to fulfil your ambition in business.

Here at Agnentis Partners, we can provide you with professional support – using our years of experience to help take your business forward. You can imagine the satisfaction we take from helping a business grow and assert itself in the market; we never grow tired of that feeling.

As much as anything else, we’re fuelled by our clients’ ambition – so often the secret sauce for success in business. A new report produced by the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards reveals how almost two-thirds of business leaders believe ambition to be the biggest driver of success.

The group of 309 SME and 301 mid-market decision makers were also questioned on what helps them achieve their goals in business – half of them answered that supportive friends and family were their biggest drive to be ambitious. That’s the emotional support we were talking about.

The respondents also believed that a clear strategy (47%), good self-esteem (44%) and strong management (32%) were also essential for realising ambition.

It’s arguably never been more important to have the drive and ambition to become a success in business. The survey revealed how 41% of business leaders agree that it’s a challenging environment and if they don’t ‘up their ambition’ the business will falter. A further 36% agree that they have felt the need to really drive themselves in the face of business adversity.

With business rates ever-increasing and getting a loan harder than ever, financial support is likely to be proving harder to come by. However, with emotional and professional support helping to drive your business forward, you might not need it.

We believe in growing a business by growing the business owner – giving you the tools and the confidence to succeed, so you can realise your personal potential and your ambition.
