To help me, once I find my element, I'm arming myself with facts and tidbits to help me on my way to start my own business and to keep my inspiration up. I'm doing this by attending various seminars, lectures, talks or whatever you want to call them. They're either aimed at current entrepreneurs to keep them focused and driven or at wanna be entrepreneurs like me. The last one I went to was at the end of last week, at Google Campus and was hosted by a company called Wow Talks. This is basically a platform for inspiration. To inspire others and to be inspired. What an amazing night. It all started with where we chose to sit. When my friend and I arrived there were few spaces for us to choose from. Without wanting to cause a stir, we sat at the back next to a woman called Deborah Webster. We introduced ourselves and as we did so we realised there was a reason we had sat there. She told us a little about her business which was aimed at budding entrepreneurs and the next generation in family businesses to find their role and ultimately map out their future. She describes what she does as "helping people to do their best". I explained, very briefly, that I was looking to leave my career as a teacher and wanted to pursue something with my talents. She very calmly said to me "not necessarily leave, but I can work with you on that" or something to that effect. Just in that one sentence I was left with hope. Deborah, an email is on its way to you. Whatever it may be, I am ready for a change.
