Letter From The Director of Entrepreneur Country Dear Entrepreneur Country Citizens,
Happy June and congratulations! You have made it through the first six months of the business year. In celebration, we have hit the big five of what we believe is on every entrepreneurs agenda, or will be in the foreseeable future. Legal Know-How (p.44), Marketing (p.20), Branding (p.24), Planning (p.22) and Investing (p.36.) These five vital points, when mastered, will see you through any form of business disruption that may be presented in the next coming months (Olympics anyone?) Now is the time to strengthen your company strategies and sail through the storm.
In this issue we are proud to feature not one, but two successful women on our cover who are revolutionising the gift buying industry with Man Buys Present, a website dedicated to assisting men on getting present purchasing right. Rachael Robertson and Kate Rider shared the same angst for years due to their husband’s buying them awful gifts, with their only option being, as Rachael puts it, “To contemplate divorce or find a solution!” Find an answer they did and the pair are trailblazing through a stagnant industry and taking it to the masses. See their interview with our Editor Kelly Dolan on page 38.
And it doesn’t stop there. We are happy to announce the exciting news that we are now planning our next workshop (more details to come) and we’re taking your feedback on board through our strong social media following. Also, our founder Julie Meyer has just written her first book, Welcome to Entrepreneur Country, which can now be purchased on Amazon. Within the book find out everything you need to know to become a successful entrepreneur in a society that is shifting before our very eyes, as well as gain an insight into Julie’s life and influences. Collectively, we are making our way to Entrepreneur Country, a new frontier for business owners, and we hope to see you there.
