I’m Helen Jamieson. I run a training business in the UK called Jaluch and have recently set up a social enterprise called Global Fountain. I am now looking for as many business owners as I can to share a bit of their story so that others around the world can learn from them. The stories will be posted on the Global Fountain social enterprise platform – an online training portal.
Global Fountain has around 35 training modules for people beginning their business journey. Your stories will be used to enhance that learning. The training materials are held online to maximize accessibility for all and membership is set at just £5 (around $7) per person per month with no contract and no tie in. The first month is free of charge. It is a not for profit venture that I have personally funded this far.
I would really value you being able to share your story so that others can benefit from your experience and ideas. You can send an audio clip, a video clip or otherwise send it to me via email. It can be in English or in your own language. You can of course submit anything you want, but if you wanted a structure to follow, perhaps you can just answer these questions
- What made you first want to set up in business?
- What have you loved most about owning and running a business?
- Can you share some of the challenges you have faced or can you give others some guidance based on what you have learnt?
- If you could go back and start again, is there one thing you might do differently?
Plus provide some details….
- What is your name and email address/contact details
- What is the name of your business?
- What service or product does your business provide?
- What City and Country are you based in?
Please send your story to me with a photo helen@globalfountain.com
Thank you,
Helen
