This has resulted in $1million in payments to freelancers in just the last year, which is no mean feat.  We also explore how outsourcing can be a very effective and one of the proven strategies for energising your business. 

Nathan's entrepreneurial journey started at a very young age.  His first real success came in 2009, whilst he was still at University, when he founded his first company, Portlight, which has generated over $5 million in sales and is still operating. It was during his early years at Portlight that he really started to understand why outsourcing fails and how to avoid the pitfalls.
