Hello I’m Granger Forson or on LinkedIn. This time on ScaleUp Radio I speak with Paul James, the owner of CAP business Clubs   CAP is a Networking business that are based in around Colford, but is nationwide. Paul started CAP in 2011, when doing some marketing far a new venue, and had the idea that the fantastic room was ideal for a networking meeting. He has grown it to 5 groups now even through the Pandemic moving onto zoom.   What I love about Paul’s story is about how he  built Businesses before CAP, and learnt from them to bring new strengths to develop CAP even when years ago he did not like the idea of networking at all.   As always, we cover a lot of ground, including:    - Networking brings new skills to you as a business owner.  - Collaboration with your competition can bring great benefits.  - Thinking you know it all is a sure way to lose a business you have built.   What is so interesting about this conversation with Paul is how he plans to keep building CAP for the benefit of its members so they can become successful.   I know that you’ll get something out of this episode.   Paul can be found here:   Resources   Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield -   Yes To Life by Dr Viktor Frankl -   Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill -     Google Keep -     Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.
