Hello,
As this is the first post in the blog I feel I should explain what I'm doing here!
I'm a recent graduate, having just completed a business and management degree. After three years and a lot of hard studying I somehow managed to escape university with as much passion for business as when I started. However along the way I have also picked up a passion for marketing and business start up and entrepreneurship (I even structured my degree around these themes!).
So why am I telling you this?
Well now I've completed university I want to continue building on my knowledge and put into good use the knowledge I've already gained. Rather than follow the crowd and enter the industry making the tea as some big executive's assistant, I'm looking to get in at the deep end with small businesses and start-ups.
So what am I using a blog for?
I believe that the best way for me to learn from here is to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to deal with any problems and concerns they might encounter in trying to start-up and grow their enterprise. In short I'm inviting business related questions from the public, and in turn I will endevour to respond with an in-depth response containing clearly the answers you require. Whether you need an explaination of business jargon, marketing advice, guidence on creating business or marketing plans, or a host of other possible business questions, just ask me and I'll dig out the answer and repspond to you as best I can. You can almost think of me as a free business consultant.
In addition, from time to time I will try to put together some business guides containing answers to common questions.
Hopefully I'll hear some of your questions soon. Remember, I learn from answering your questions, so don't be afraid to ask!
