Entrepreneurship Vs working in the City
Entrepreneurship Vs working in the City
Written by Nick in Sunday, May 18th 2008   
Recently I have been partying with people who I haven't seen for over a year, friends of friends who I don't regularly see and who do not know that I dropped out of University to pursue entrepreneurship. It has been an interesting experience filling them in on how I came to decide I wanted to make money for myself and forgo the 'trappings' of a career in the City. Many of these university friends have [+]

Writing a CV for a job at a startup - 7 top tips for a young entrepreneur
Written by Nick in Thursday, April 3rd 2008   
If you are applying for work in a startup (perhaps after reading my post - Being entrepreneurial without the risk: getting work in a startup), your CV will be essential when it comes to making that first impression.

The prime position in question is one of the 125x125 blocks above and to the right of this post, which appears on every page of this site. Although this blog is just getting going, I have ambitious readership targets, and I would love a [+]

Everybody has a business idea
Written by Nick in Wednesday, March 19th 2008   
I firmly believe that just as people say that everybody has at least one book inside of them, so do they have a good business idea. A perfect example of this cropped up (no pun intended) when I had my hair cut yesterday. What should have been a standard 20 minute trim turned into an hour long discussion about angel funding, thanks to me not keeping my trap shut about how everybody should act on [+]

Being entrepreneurial without the risk (getting work in a startup)
Written by Nick in Saturday, March 15th 2008   
The enormous popularity of programmes such as The Dragon's Den and The Apprentice has had a big effect on the public's perception of entrepreneurship. Seeing seemingly ordinary people up there on the TV pitching, getting funding and building their businesses has, in the UK at least, sparked interest in a career that otherwise might have seemed inaccessible and frankly terrifying before.
