Those of us who watch and listen to the news won’t have escaped hearing about the state of the economy across the pond and the potential of the ripple effect on our economy. One thing is for sure, entrepreneurialism is about taking control of our livelihoods and not leaving too much to chance.

If you are reading this blog, then you are likely to be in business or thinking of starting one. You may be using your redundancy money to start your new venture. Whether you are a first time start up or an existing business owner, the EBA is here to put your through ‘our version of business school.’

Each year of my business life has been diverse, expansive, interesting and pretty much ‘full on’ and 2010 has been no exception! The year began with the planning and subsequent launch of the EBA with James Caan. March 2010 quickly arrived and this was when our first seminar took place – the Academy doors well and truly opened and we haven’t had time to look back…….until now

It was very satisfying to see our latest seminar packed last weekend and our thanks to all of you who came, especially those who traveled from the North – we hope your journeys through inclement weather were swift and safe.

One of the biggest myths I have encountered in my life as an entrepreneur is the idea that entrepreneurs are born and not made – so it’s as if only those people who have a natural, innate and natural gift can ever be successful entrepreneurs – what a load of rubbish!
