Networking with Purpose: From Business Book Judging to Mentoring Aspiring Entrepreneurs 🌟

Networking with Purpose: From Business Book Judging to Mentoring Aspiring Entrepreneurs 🌟

Unlocking the true essence of networking, my recent experience as a judge at the Business Book Awards πŸ“š became a catalyst for collaboration and mentorship, giving me a great opportunity to β€˜be of service’ to the entrepreneurial community.

In the wake of the awards, I had the pleasure of engaging with academic leaders like Dr. Elinor Vettraino and Professor Simon Finley from Aston Business School 🏫, who are pioneering an entrepreneurial education innovation. Their students are not just learning about business; they are living it for three years, from ideation to revenue generation, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit πŸ’Ό.

It was through this genuine connection that I was invited to share my expertise through the ‘The Reality of Business Models’ workshop πŸ› οΈ. Together, we delved into their business plans, transforming lofty aspirations into viable, challenge-resistant strategies, all within the nurturing confines of a supportive environment 🀝.

The transformation into robust entrepreneurs doesn’t happen overnight, but the conversations from these bright minds was a testament to the value of transparent, honest guidance 🌱. Their gratitude and renewed focus underscore the impact of meaningful connections that evolve into positive business relationships πŸ‘₯.

Kudos to the visionaries like Elinor and Simon for turning a mere interaction into a thriving educational opportunity πŸŽ“. It was an honour to be support their workΒ  and collaborate with the Aston Business School entrepreneurs πŸš€and support them in their journey.
