You may remember a few months ago back in May, I was faced with a challenge of selling cakes and face painting at Devon County Show. Even though this challenge was a great one, it wasn't something I set my self personally and some of you might have wondered why I was doing it well let me now tell you what this was for.......
Back in April I am in the car listening to Radio One and Richard Reed the Founder of Innocent was on there promoting his new show Be Your Own Boss, he was looking for people who was or wanted to start up in Business to invest in. Ok so I applied for the Apprentice last year and got through to the auditions but didn't make it past the first round of the auditions - failed at the first post. But this wasn't going to put me off - I have a passion in my business and if I can get an investment from a Sucessful Enterperner than I am going to give it a try.
So I completed the application and got through to the phone interviews. They were only putting 500 people through to the next challenge so my hopes weren't hopeful but I knew I could still be in with a chance so I waited for the email to confirm I had been selected as one of the final 500, let the amazing experience begin.
The Challenges
Yep you got it this is where I had to sell cakes and facepainting at the Devon County show to show my business skills, and thank you for the support of my lovely friends and family it was a great sucess. I am so impressed with the facepainting my friends did - Niki and Chris if this business doesn't work out we could have something here :)
Meeting Richard
For the second challenge we had to attend an expo put on by Be your Own Boss, we all had a stand and this was the time we had to sell our idea to Richard. I did my pitch to a business mentor and ceased the opportunity to grab Richard to sell my idea. With the camera's on me and Richard infront of me this was it...........
Find out in tomorrow's blog inline with the show starting tomorrow evening how I did.......
