The lessons that we all learn can be passed to future tutors and students with the hope that we can increase the chances of business successes within each region. Million Impossible was the brain child of Bradley Chapman who has had many years of business experience and has enjoyed both the ups and downs of being in business. In 2007 Bradley had no choice but to enter into Bankruptcy after a very painful relationship break up and loosing everything except the shirt on his back. Bradley has had his fair share of adversity and continues to fight for UK Entrepreneurs and their businesses. Bradley’s idea was to create a web site that helped UK Entrepreneurs and business people. The web site www.millionimpossible.com was created by Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs. The business was started from scratch with a limited capital investment but with the dream of creating the UK’s largest Honest Entrepreneur Network. The Entrepreneur School is yet to be named and a launch date is still to be confirmed. The plans are at infancy stage and will take some time to compile a complete launch programme. We have created a section within the Mi web site called “Entrepreneur School” that will follow the journey of the Entrepreneur School and the thoughts of our members as we try to bring the whole idea from concept to fruition. Entrepreneur School – For Business Students For many of us if we could have had information available to us when we started out on our business journey we may have been able to adjust our planning and avoid some of the mistakes that other Entrepreneurs have Entrepreneur School – The Idea So many businesses fail due to Entrepreneurs not having the necessary knowledge and business skills required to help them navigate the at times perilous and unforgiving journey of being in business. If Entrepreneurs knew what they would have to give up in persuing their dreams before they started, would they have actually started their business? Perhaps not. The start up school would definitely be good to stop those who aren’t going to make it from starting up in the first place, those who crash and burn in the first three years and it could have an impact on success rate percentage points. It also depends how we define entrepreneur. We see the school operating at County level, with each County having its own school venue, working from a set agenda and training programme. We would utilise members from Million Impossible and readers of Raw Magazine who would be invited to become either a tutor or indeed enrol in the programme as a student. The idea is to combine face to face networking with a business training environment so that Startups could gain not just a full and comprehensive knowledge about being in business and what it takes to be a success, but also meet new contacts that they could utilise along their journey. A nationwide network of Entrepreneur Schools could take some time to build and we would ideally start with Essex, London and Hertfordshire as a start platform from which to grow. Suggested names for the school so far are:• Entrepreneur Academy • Entrepreneur Training Network • Entrepreneur 2 Entrepreneur • Take Flight – The Entrepreneur School If you would like to suggest a name for the school please email Bradley Chapman on Bradley@millionimpossible.com experienced. When Entrepreneurs have a vision they very often feel compelled to carry out that vision and make the dream a reality but more often than not start ups fail either through poor planning or through lack of trading and real time business experience. We all know that in the class you can be taught the theory but in real time business the practical nature of running a business is somewhat different. The idea for the Entrepreneur School will be to teach aspiring business people and 32 millionimpossible.com http://www.millionimpossible.com http://www.millionimpossible.com http://www.millionimpossible.com
