It's my first day at The Enterprise Club today!
I am terrified, petrified, scared sick!
Yes, silly I know - After all these people are supposed to be there to help me, but, I cant help feeling that the day will not go well!
I feel like it's the first day of school!
I dont know anything and I dont have any friends there!
Everyone will be more clever than me and they will just laugh when I tell them my business idea. If I could just win the lottery I wouldnt need the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme to support me or give me a grant!
I know my business and I know I can make it work ... well, you cant make people buy when they dont have any money, but you can offer an excellent service, good quality items and charge a reasonable price for those items. I have suppliers lined up. I have chosen the place that I want to base my business in. I just need help with my business plan - thats all ... well, and a grant to help pay for the rent, and the allowance to support me for the first year! But I need to get a good business plan - or at least one that The Powers That Be will accept to get all of that.
I have been reading articles on the internet, found through Twitter. Really just trying to build up my confidence a bit. I wish I could just give Richard Branson a quick ring to ask his advice, but seeing as I do not have his phone number, I have been reading some of his wise words online to settle my nerves a bit.
I have put some links to the articles below just in case I ever get any followers to this blog. There may be some terrified person I can help with my aimless ramblings!
The Hell starts at 10am at The Freedom Centre, Hull.
Wish me luck people???! x
