Enterprise week

Bucks New University hosted an event over reading week called Enterprise Week in which it held speeches and talks about different business’s and ideas about business. It was extremely interesting and informative to the students who attended. Two of the events attended during the week included a talk by the owner of the baby food brand ‘Ella’s Kitchen’, and a man who built an empire in the world of radio and recording. Both had different views to how businesses should be set up and how it should work. Each event lasted no longer than two hours. The week helped a lot to see how others gained way into markets that already had strong competitors, and they helped open the students’ eyes into thinking they too could have a chance at being an entrepreneur as well known as the people that came to speak to them.

I attended two talks which were held in two separate places around the university grounds. ‘Ella’s Kitchen’ was very informative to me because it made me think that i two could come up with an amazing product that would make competitors know that i was a threat. I benefited from him because he told me and the other attendees that just being that bit more initiative and adapt to the market that bit quicker than the competitors you will grow as fast as his company did. This benefited me because it made me think that i could actually achieve my goals as he had done. The other was a man speaking about how he made his company grow from working with his competitors which benefited me because he told us about how he used his old employers to help achieve his goal in making his own company. He told us a lot about every detail of his company and i felt like i had really gotten to know about the business and that i too could build one from scratch just like how he had done.
