BFEntrepreneur is the blog of a young 25 something year old living in London. My dream has always been to build a start-up on an area I am passionate about. Whilst watching Dragons Den, The Apprentice - I've always thought "I can do that" and as your parents do... they also said the same (as they think their daughter can be anything and everything they want to be). I dabbled in Music lessons, even attempted the XFactor, Art A-levels, and finally set on a Business and Marketing Degree and thought "this is my bag". I suppose thats where it all started. I then secured jobs in the corporate world moving from a large blue-chip to a smaller company (where it's all buzzin' on the sales floor). Always organising events, I couldn't for the life of me understand why there wasn't a company to help you organise everything you needed for your event . Surely there should be an App for that?

So I am set-out to build a brand, a company that I need and I want people to love. I work in marketing and events, always being the organised one in the group, the one that gets everyone together to arrange a party. I want a one-stop shop for all your event needs and that is what I am trying to build. I don't want this to be a huge corporate brand with no identity, I want this to be a company that everyone will use to book their birthdays, weddings, corporate events or anything for a celebration. The event is coming to you and its going to save you time and money during your quest to make it the best event you will ever throw.

Those that haven't attempted to build a start-up may think it will be a 'walk in the park' but this girl quickly realised it wouldn't be an easy breeze. On my blog you will follow the journey, the courage, the perseverance and life of a female entrepreneur starting-up her own business.
