Favourite pictures of the week

The growth of the OMM has been steady this week. Of the pictures that have been added, these are my favourites:







And the slightly controversial:



To be honest I think this was a bad idea. I love too many of the pictures to list them here - either for the image itself or the meaning behind it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far - keep it up guys.

Why I Blog

Last year I was asked by my local development agency to talk to school children and young adults about starting businesses and life as an entrepreneur. Naturally I balked at the idea. Nothing terrifies me more than standing in front of 30 young people, desperately trying to keep them interested in what I’m saying.

After further discussions it was suggested that I might blog about my experiences as a young businesses owner and social entrepreneur, so that younger people might get a flavour of the kind of issues I face in a medium they understand.

I'm currently in my (late!) twenties and have built up several businesses ranging from car dashboards, software sales, website design and restaurants. My current project is a major charity arts event. I have a strong form of the learning difficulty dyscalculia, but hope to show others that the disorder can be overcome by effective coping strategies and a lot of confidence!

So here I am.
