Its Wednesday afternoon, and in between running a business and revising for an Economics exam on Tomorrow, Ive found a little bit of time to gather my thoughts for this competition.

Its amazing to be selected as one of the finalists! I am, as I'm sure every other finalist is, very excited about what can be gained from this competition. I found out about this the day after I won an award for my business plan through Newcastle University! So already being on a high after that and then finding out about this, its safe to say I was smiling!

The thing I love the most is reading peoples profiles and really seeing the passion and belief everyone has for their business, for me that's definatley a necessity if your going to make a business a success.

I have to congradulate The Entrepreneurs forum, they are doing great things with this Challenge to help promote entrepreneurship in the North East while also helping boost the profile of many local businesses, its quality.

Ok, Sun is shining and ive got to get a dinner suit for the event tomorrow! Then its back to the books! 'i love exams!*!?'

Enjoy the Sunshine!
