  Zoe Vokes

  I just really wanted to say a HUGE thank you. You and your team put on a truly fantastic event! It ran so smoothly and I know there must have been so much behind the scenes work that went into making it a success. It was one of the most motivating, informing and INSPIRING days of my life. The speakers that you had were all phenomenal. They were the kind, sharing and caring entrepreneurs and KPI's that I believe everyone in that room aspires to become, and to be able to listen to them all in one place- it was a true privilege. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. The event will have changed our lives and our paths going forward with our business venture and who could ask for more than that?

  I won the £5,000 business package, I thought this was a great idea for young people to get their ideas across to industry professionals. Before the event i saw my business as a way to make profit not anymore, I see it as a way of introducing a scheme that will not just benefit young people but also the community. I now think more about my business and what I really want from it.

• The energy and enthusiasm of all the speakers who had made such an effort to be there without getting paid, despite being such high-earners! It made me realise that there are still good people out there and even good wealthy people lol

  I needed direction mainly as I'd been flailing on my own for 5 months and had no idea how to set up a business or how to develop my professional persona! I was lacking in confidence and was losing faith in myself and my business idea and I went along, more as a personal challenge to keep going than because I really felt it would be beneficial for me (as I thought it was mainly for under 24's). The energy and enthusiasm of all the speakers who had made such an effort to be there without getting paid, despite being such high-earners! It made me realise that there are still good people out there and even good wealthy people lol - who still care enough to help people who are struggling to get off the ground. I have learnt to "seize every opportunity" and am definitely a lot more confident and "pushy" now. If you don't ask, you don't get and I am now asking a lot and if I get a "No", I don't take it personally and let it ruin my day. It's just business and it's a numbers game - if I persevere, eventually I will get the "Yes" I need. I am still struggling to get a starting break with my business, but I won't give up now, as I know this is something that all the speakers went through.

• I went to the event to learn how to have the confidence to just get started with it. I loved the energy in the room, the mix of speakers, the range of other wannabes (age/gender etc). I learnt to grab life by the balls, have the confidence to jump right in.

  I went to the event to learn how to have the confidence to just get started with it. I loved the energy in the room, the mix of speakers, the range of other wannabes (age/gender etc). I learnt to grab life by the balls, have the confidence to jump right in. Be unapologetic, look for opportunity and don't strive for perfection, just get out there and do your thing. Inspire others to do the same. I know now that business is more about personality and worth than offering a unique product or service. Business is about collaboration, sharing ideas and supporting each other. It's about being fair, being open and finding out the individual needs of customers. It's about talking to your customers as real people. Not just a mass of consumers.

  Excellent speakers, there was some great insights into more experienced entrepreneurs' journeys. It reinforced my motivation and renewed my faith that there are young people out there with passion and ideas. I particularly enjoyed Billy's presentation and local talents performing during breaks - that was an excellent idea. It lifted my morale. It's good to get that 'go get it' boost every once in a while - thank you.

  Rosie McFall

  I went to gain knowledge and confidence to eventually start my own business. I really enjoyed the overall feel of the day, the confidence other people show towards you and to know that there will always be help. I know that if I want something badly enough so long as I work hard I can achieve it. I know that it can be very rewarding and open up lots of possibilities.

  I wanted to get inspired by entrepreneurs and meet new people. I loved the diversity of the speakers. All were very inspiring in their own way. It made me focus even more on the bright side than before. Got lots of positive energy. The event confirmed being or becoming a successful entrepreneur is all about passion, hard work, enthusiasm and getting up when you fall down, over and over again!

  I came to the event as I wanted to launch my business this summer but I was unsure on my idea - I was leaning towards business consultancy but not fully clear. Wow....that day sparked a whole chain of events that has meant I am now viewing my own skills better, meeting and working with amazing people. It really has changed my life. I am now in the process of launching 2 businesses, one is a collaboration with someone I met at the event. The other is my own business which I am so proud and excited about. The Muse Train has launched it's concept and is negotiation premises at the moment, Realising EVERY dream has begun seeing it's first clients this week and has 2 coaches waiting to come on board.
