It was an absolute privilege for Sean Molino our MD to host the Bootcamp To Business event for young entrepreneurs aged 18-25 in Caernafon, North Wales. Jay Williams Was also in attendance to ensure anyone who wanted to communicate in the medium of Welsh could have their questions answered. The event was funded by the Welsh Government and put together by the team at Business Wales and Big Ideas Wales.
.
We had a fantastic cohort of ambitious and motivated young entrepreneurs who were there to take their Business ideas to the next level!
.
We covered branding, social media, Marketing, Invoicing and Bookkeeping, sustainability, how to deliver the perfect pitch and also Health and Well-being. We went through everything you can expect in the first 12 months of trading.
.
The aim was to help the attendees build their confidence, network with business owners and experts, and learn everything they really needed to launch their business.
.
Over the 3 days we heard from a number of fantastic entrepreneurs from different sectors, but all had a very similar message and faced challenges the attendees could relate with!
.
In closing words, Sean wanted to leave the attendees with some good take away tips!
.
⭐ Keep your vision and set your achievable Goals, log them in your diary and ensure you mark them off each day and celebrate those small gains on your business journey.
⭐ Use your network and especially business advisors and reach out for support when needed.
⭐ Surround yourself with people who will support you on your journey (People who lift you up not put you down)
⭐ Give back and support others (Charity work, Advice etc)
⭐ Do things that make you smile in your life (Your Job, playing sport, music, art or Coaching kids etc)
