MGBI

So - yesterday was the Stage 2 of the 'My Great Business Idea' competition run by the University. It was a brilliant day - and really good fun!
I made it into the top 6 out of 14 entrants, but unfortunetely didn't make the top 3. But I had an amazing day, and met loads of really positive and enthusiastic people, which just put me on a high.

Also met Sarah Lu - a previous Dragon's Den victim, who secured an investment on the show with Deborah Meaden, with YouDoDolls - and who is also a graduate from Bucks New University. She was amazing - and did a really inspirational speech on how far she has come as an entrepreneur, and advice she can give other people wanting to do the same thing. It was really engaging, and refreshing.
I got chatting to her, and she is such an engaging individual, and very positive about everyone's business - and willing to help in any way possible. So good luck to her with her future ventures!

Had a job interview today - which was also good! So hopefully I might be employed by the end of the day - just have to wait around for the phonecall.
