Week 7 - Enterprise Week

During Enterprise week, I went to many events. One of the main events that I found inspiring was “5% idea, 95% effort”. This was a 1 hour session with a man who designed and developed the idea of a chocolate box that people would be able to post through the letter box.

The event was held at Bucks New University in the Gateway lecture theatre. This event consisted of him talking about how he set up his business right from the starting point of when he had the idea of mailing chocolates, all throughout the process and up to the point of the present day with all the projects going on and how he is going to expand his business even more. Once he had spoken about his business, there was a question and answers session.

I found this particular event inspiring because of the way in which he had gone from such a small, simple idea and has turned it into a successful business. He has no done this because of his product, or with the help of any other aspect of the business, but by putting in a lot of his own effort and working out what would be best for this particular idea and how he could make it as successful as possible. These kinds of people are very inspirational and should be looked up to because of their attitude towards these types of things.
