I want to say a big thank you to all of the Entrepreneurs' Forum team for inviting me to their 6th Annual Conference. The title of the event really says it all - Inspired.
From Martin Lightbody to Pen Hadow, everybody had a great story to tell. I really enjoyed Martin's approach to business, he really emphasised how important it is to love what you do and although work hard, you must always have a giggle along the way. (In the next few blog posts I will try and repeat the things that the speakers said that I could personally related to from my own experiences so far).
It was also nice to meet up with some of the other IWCYC entrants including Claire who is also in the Northern Echo competition, and share our start up stories. The over-arching theme seems to be that it is never easy, but listening to the people on stage that have 'made it' gives me great confidence.
The day was long and I felt quite tired after the dinner but I stayed on and got to meet some really interesting people and talk about my idea. I always worry that because I am only now refining the service offerings that people will judge too early, but I got some really good feedback and people really liked the concept which was very motivating. Overall the day was one of the best opportunities for learning, networking and sharing ideas I have had and I am really grateful to the Entrepreneurs' Forum for making it happen.
