I spent my last weekend at an Entreprenurial Get together of 500 people who had gathered to see some amazing guest speakers.

One of the highlights for me was Duncan Bannatyne. He spoke for an hour and then held an open microphone question and answer session.

Duncans speach was superb. I have to say he was not the most “polished speaker” you are likely to encounter but his talk was based on his real life experiences and his humour shone through. This just made the talk seem so much more natural.

One of the things that really struck me was that Duncan could not really say how he had done any of his huge successes any more than “Just do It” (or was that Nike?). He truly believes that anyone can emulate his success yet can’t really describe how to do it.

I guess that’s the mark of a true entrepreneur. Strong belief in himself and an attitude that it is can be doen. Just get on and do it!
