EntrEpEnEur School RAW school Entrepreneurs everything from company formation through to taxation and business forecasting. Entrepreneur School will be open to anyone to join and we hope that we will be able to combine business training, face to face networking and online discussion groups, enabling start up businesses the opportunity to meet with key suppliers such as accountants, solicitors, bankers, marketing and business software providers, in fact everything that a growing business would need. We are also exploring the opportunity for each County to have access to a series of business Angels and business mentors who could provide a valuable source of business funding as well as offering a student the opportunity to work with them for a period in a similar business thus providing a student with a full insight into a particular business and how it is run. We have not yet established a launch date for Entrepreneur School but we hope to have the first one up and running by Q1/ Q2 2009. If you know of anybody who has a business idea or is about to embark on an Entrepreneurs journey, then we offer free registration with Million Impossible please visit www. millionimpossible.com and click “Register Free” and follow the simple sign up process. Entrepreneur School – For Entrepreneur Tutors We welcome Million Impossible members to put their names forward to become a business tutor. Each member will promote and talk about their specific business and experience whether that is accounting, sales, finance, bookkeeping or other required fields of expertise. Tutors will both train and look to win new business from the pupils that attend the school and as the schools are intended to be created at County level means that there is a demographic between tutor pupil and business supplier. The programme that we hope to implement will help tutors that have not trained previously and we will ensure that the delivery of individual services fit within the overall school structure and lessons platform. Some tutors will also be selected for advanced peer groups that can come together and meet with individuals from other business sectors. One of areas that we have been focusing on at Million Impossible and with Raw Magazine is “Honesty”. Entrepreneurs are like gamblers In that they love to tell you about their successes but in fact in life we learn more from our mistakes than our failures. Our Entrepreneur tutors will also be prepared to share the challenges they have faced and the mistakes that they encountered during their business journey in order to help pupil Entrepreneurs make more informed decisions on their business activities. Tutors will be both passionate and determined individuals. Your business does not have to be hugely successful so even if you only have one or two tears experience you will still be considered as it is the overall skill/ experience balance that we are looking for. We will be looking for members of Mi to put their name forward for Entrepreneur School by using the Million Impossible business forum to confirm their interest. Each County will ideally have a head tutor to manage their region this will be supported by an assistant head. We will be posting more information about Entrepreneur School every week on the homepage of Million Impossible, so please keep coming back and welcome all of your views and comments. millionimpossible.com 33 http://www.millionimpossible.com http://www.millionimpossible.com http://www.millionimpossible.com
