Entrepreneur School Richmond - 10th December 2009 - With Rona Cant - Round The World Sailor and Speaker
Thursday, December 10, 2009 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (GMT)
Surrey, United Kingdom
Event Details
Entrepreneur School is a face to face networking event that combines business networking with business education. So many businesses fail because many Entrepreneurs lack the necessary knowledge and business skills required to help them navigate, at times, perilous and unforgiving journey of being in business. If Entrepreneurs knew what they would have to give up in pursuing their dreams before they started, would they have actually started their business? Entrepreneur School can have an impact on business success rates by providing a unique opportunity for Entrepreneurs and business owners to build an extended support network of like-minded people whilst gaining valuable skills.
We already have a number of Network members who have put themselves forward to act as an Entrepreneur School Leader and during the next three months we plan to have up to 20 ES locations across the UK with Chelmsford being the ES HQ.
We welcome you to join us at the Richmond Entrepreneur School and experience something fresh and exciting which will add real value to your business.
Event Speaker - Rona Cant
Rona Cant, round-the-world sailor, explorer and high profile speaker will be presenting her highly successful and inspiring talk, ‘Steering The Right Course' at Entrepreneur School Richmond. Rona’s compelling and memorable stories will captivate her audience and help them to overcome the fear of failure and see challenges and change as Steering The Right Course - The Story of The BT Global Challenge Round The World Yacht Race (the world's toughest yacht race). All Rona's talks contain clear business messages and strategies that can be utilised immediately and are based on the lessons learnt from her very diverse adventures and relate to human behaviours in the workplace. Rona's personal story of adventure links the challenges of racing the wrong way round the world with those in the business environment. You will learn about leadership, team building, success out of failure, and she will share effective strategies to put you and your team on course to become a premier organisation. They are strategies that you can put into practice immediately. What do people say about Rona? 'Great story Rona and superb lessons for Industry!' Clive Wilson, Deputy
For the last 8 years across 3 continents Rona has been motivating businesses and individuals to get out of their comfort zone and reach their potential. Once an unexceptional, middle-aged single parent she became a round-the-world yachtswoman by competing in the BT Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race (the toughest yacht race in the world), has trekked with bears and cougars and opened a ‘thought to be impossible’ dog-sled trail to the northernmost tip of Europe.

His idea was to create a web site that helped UK Entrepreneurs and business people. The original web site www.millionimpossible.com was created by Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs. The business was started from scratch with a limited capital investment but with the dream of creating the UK’s largest Honest Entrepreneur Network. The business has faced massive amounts of adversity like many start-up business.

Raw Business has started designing their global website which should be ready for an early 2010 launch with the aim of positively bringing the Global Entrepreneurial Business Community together, engaging International Trading and encouraging World Wide Entrepreneurial Innovation.
The aim of Entrepreneur School is to combine face to face networking within a business training environment so that start-ups and established businesses can gain full and comprehensive knowledge about being in and running a business as well as what it takes to be successful, learning and meeting new contacts that they can utilise along their journey.
