EntreConf

I’m excited to share that I’ll be the resident 'expert' (read: bloke who's messed up enough times to learn a thing or two) on a new programme in Bristol called Growth Leaders, supported by Bristol Creative Industries. It's all about helping leaders make better decisions—growing their businesses in ways that are both more profitable and personally rewarding. The approach has been successful on the South Coast, so it’s great that we can bring it to Bristol. Curious? The first taster session is *free*. Full details are below, or feel free to DM me to learn more. https://lnkd.in/eunVRdsK

After a successful morning representing BaNES Council at the Disability confident event, I was pleased to attend the EntreConf event at Komedia Bath to watch Joe Cooper represent himself on the young Bath Spa University entrepreneur panel. A fabulous event with many inspirational speakers. Including my brilliant colleague Richard Burgess

Me 🤝 Yapping about degree apprenticeships Thank you EntreConf for giving me the opportunity to speak about my entrepreneurial experience so far and of course I had to bring in degree apprenticeships. I’ve said it multiple times but doing a degree apprenticeship (in my opinion) is the single best thing you can do for your own personal growth and career. Full time university is right for some people, it wasn’t for me. If you’re thinking about doing a degree apprenticeship and have questions, drop me a message! #degreeapprenticeship #entreconfgo #entrepreneur #business

Yesterday, I also attended the EntreConf GO event at Komedia Bath with Mia Suter 🤩 It was truly inspiring to hear from so many talented entrepreneurs like Dan Ghadimi, E-J Roodt, Ella Trigwell, Gemma Dunnel, Joe Cooper, Samuel Taylor, Tiger Scott, Vishal Tolambia and Harvey Alymer, as they shared their entrepreneurial journeys, challenges, and successes. Your courage and dedication are truly admirable! 🥰 I then stayed to support my colleague Richard Burgess on his insightful talk on the free and fully funded business support available in Bath and North East Somerset. This support can help businesses in various areas, including finance, marketing, leadership, management, technical innovation, people development, recruitment, business space, and green initiatives 🙌🏻 If you're a budding entrepreneur in the area, I highly recommend exploring these resources 📋 Find out more > https://lnkd.in/eDXYdN8z 🌐 #EntreConfGO #Bath #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #BusinessSupport Bath & North East Somerset Council Invest in B&NES

EntreConf Go Bristol and Bath 2024: A Week of Inspiration and Connection ✨ In the past week, I had the privilege of attending EntreConf Go Bristol and Bath, a gathering of young entrepreneurs and more established ones as well. Filled with success stories, actionable insights, and - of course - plenty of networking! Every session offered something valuable, but a few highlights stood out: Amanda Spicer's Keynote: Her reflections on mentorship and the power of resilience were incredibly inspiring. The reminder to "Be More Buffalo" 🐃 and face challenges head-on, along with the principle that "Clear is kind", gave me practical strategies to apply right away. As well as reiterating how the concept of Kaizen is still one of the most powerful tools you can use in your business and in life. Tom Bright’s talk on sales: Packed with insights, and tools such as a sales canvas, I gained massive inspiration to put sales at the forefront of our business, after all, any business would die without it! Connecting with Stephanie Dodd and Greg Ingham, the powerhouse team behind MediaClash, whose efforts made EntreConf an unforgettable event. Their passion for giving entrepreneurs a space to connect and share is really inspiring. EntreConf Go was more than just a conference - it was a chance to connect and reflect. The stories and advice I heard reaffirmed the importance of mentorship, persistence, and building systems that elevate your goals. A huge thanks to everyone involved and the countless other speakers that I haven’t mentioned, I could write for days about the value every talk gave me! And thank you to everyone I got to speak to and connect with, I'm really excited to have you in my network and see how we can help each other grow and thrive! Here’s to taking these lessons forward and making bold strides in the entrepreneurial journey! 🚀 #EntreConf #Networking #YoungEntrepreneurs #Sales #Mentorship #bristol #bristolbusinesses #kaizen 📸 👤 Darius Jean Pranav Vyas E-J Roodt Olivia Coy Josh Simpkins Kyra Hardy Richard Spilsbury Maria Berryman Ella Trigwell Paul Kelly Anthony Dutton Toby Brown Sunjay Singh Weronika Stelmach Jaymie Penny Harry Buckland Alex Hill Emma Sexton Lily Majid Jeril Laiju Nathan Beudin Sean Ingham Delta Sports Management Delta Talent Solutions

I had an amazing time at EntreConf - a fantastic conference for young entrepreneurs! The insights, energy, and stories I heard were incredibly inspiring and have left me more motivated than ever to keep grinding at Wonderland Media, my growing media company. Excited to take things to the next level!

🚀 Reflections on EntreConf: A Celebration of Innovation, Collaboration, and Ambition 🌟 Speaking at EntreConf GO was an incredible experience that brought together hundreds of entrepreneurs, advisors, and innovators in a truly dynamic event. This was more than a conference—it was a celebration of creativity, resilience, and collaboration. The closing session, where I was privileged to speak alongside inspiring voices such as Richard Spilsbury of Link Stone Advisory, Victoria Bond of School Guide UK, Harvey Aylmer of Aylmer’s Circus, and Kyra Hardy of Your Bath Guide, epitomised the heart of EntreConf: blending insights from seasoned advisors with the raw ambition of young entrepreneurs. Each speaker brought something unique to the table: Harvey Aylmer, a theatrical producer and founder of Aylmer’s Circus, reminded us of the magic of dreaming big, even when working solo. His reflection that “events like today make me realise I’m not alone” resonated deeply with many attendees. Kyra Hardy, who combines social media strategy with running a highly engaged local guide, shared invaluable advice about recognising the worth of your skills: “Keep your visions at the front of your mind... Keep your inspiration at the forefront.” Victoria Bond, whose platform has supported over 20 million parents, highlighted the shifting landscape of education and work, urging young people to carefully consider their post-16 pathways. Richard Spilsbury, an advisor with vast experience across finance, people, and IT, offered practical insights, likening preparation for entrepreneurial funding to sitting a driving test. I also had the opportunity to share some thoughts from my own journey at PANDEK Group - Facilitation - Training - Coaching (PGL). I believe events like EntreConf are vital because they inspire growth not just in business but in confidence and collaboration. My advice? “If you are the cleverest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.” Surround yourself with people who challenge you, ask thoughtful questions, and remain curious. EntreConf is a powerful platform for building connections across generations and industries. For young entrepreneurs, it’s a place where dreams feel possible, and for established professionals, it’s a chance to inspire and be inspired. To all the attendees, thank you for making this event so special. Let’s continue to create spaces where ideas flourish, and innovation thrives.
