Dos and Don'ts of starting your own business: A session for aspiring entrepreneurs
This interactive session is packed with practical advice, real-life lessons, and activities to help you explore your ideas and avoid common pitfalls.
Have an idea but don’t know how to start?
This workshop will:
- Help you get clarity on whether your idea is worth focusing on.
- Teach you key dos and don’ts when starting a business for the first time
- Guide you to finally work on your business idea instead of having it in your head your entire life.
- Highlight various free resources that can fund your ideas
- Tell you what international and UK-based students can do before launching
- Show you how to spot opportunities and turn challenges into solutions
- Explore common mistakes aspiring entrepreneurs make
- Give you advice she wishes she’d known earlier, plus insights learnt from other professionals
Whether you’ve got a business idea already or you’re just curious about entrepreneurship, this session will help you build confidence and take your first steps with clarity.
Ideas are like souls. If you don’t work on them, they will leave you and find a different body. You need to learn how to execute your ideas before they become a lifelong regret.
