Raw 04 - December 2008 - (Page 3)

WELCOME RAW Welcome from the Editor Contacts t seems very hard to believe that Million Impossible started just one year ago and with Raw magazine now its 4th edition our message to Entrepreneurs is finally being felt by our readers and members. Being an Entrepreneur is perhaps one of the most challenging occupations one could consider embarking upon and the journey itself can be filled with the most amazing highs and the lowest of lows with no guarantee of success. I believe that Entrepreneurs will play a key part in helping to get the UK economy back on track, and indeed, Entrepreneurs and start up business will be one of the highest growth sectors over the next two years. Raw magazine recently exhibited alongside Million Impossible Entrepreneur Network and Rachel Elnaugh at the Business Startups show held at London Olympia with a very positive outcome for our business. As you are all aware we have had a very limited capital from which to develop our business and we regularly refer to ourselves as “Wombles” – making use of the everyday things that ordinary folk leave behind. At Million Impossible we are the business underdogs yet I Raw Entrepreneur Only honest entrepreneurs need apply there is a certain kindness and understanding from our customers that they both respect and appreciate what we are trying to do for Entrepreneurs both in the UK and indeed around the world. As a team we have faced adversity since we started the business some twelve months ago, we are still fighting and trying to overcome adversity, we are still fighting to show that if we can all come together and be prepared to talk honestly and openly about our mistakes as well as our successes that we truly can go from “Dreams to Reality”. The Mi and Raw management team are looking forward to the future with a degree of positivity as we look to make fewer mistakes, improve upon the ones that we have made and make positive changes to our business in order to benefit Entrepreneurs for the future.
