Filmed by the Book Channel and the BBC at Home!

Yesterday was big for me personally, i was filmed for the new TV channel called the book channel (http://www.thebookchannel.tv/) coming out next month on sky channel 166. This was for my new book called 'The World At Your Feet' three strikes to a successful entrepreneurial life which comes out on April 30th.

Today, yes today, my family was filmed by the BBC in our own living room, to get the views of young people about how the BBC, CBBC and Cbeebies and especially Television has had an impact on their lives.

It was fantastic, to see my whole family as a part of the BBC.

Next week is quite big too, as i'll be filmed for a new Channel 4 programme that involves young entrepreneurs pitching their ideas. I'm so excited.

Speak soon!

How a 30 minute speech changed the lives of 600 students

Yesterday at the Harris City Academy, i spoke in front of 600 students ranging from ages 14 up to 18. And i have to say it was one of my most influential speeches i have given as a speaker and the one i can say had the biggest impact.

After the speech, i've had so many students come round asking for help, advice and to be their mentors. Even after school, many students just waited for me to step outside just so they could speak to me. I felt like a celeb!

I am came home and then see that my inbox was full of questions and 'thank yous' from those students as they were so inspired, i even got a few wedding proposals! My Facebook was full of new faces and guess what it was those students from Harris City Academy.

To be able to say that my voice had an impact at that level illustrates the strength behind a teenager being able to pass on the message about enterprise and entrepreneurship and the impact it has on changing the belief within young people.

So i urge people out there that this recession is just a mere setback for many and for young people, its a great opportunity to pounce on.

My emotions that day were high. Long may that continue!

A week of memories

On Tuesday 3rd, i was back with the Young Enterprise! Attended a competition as a guest and it brought back memories of when i took part in the Young Enterprise who kicked started my journey as a young entrepreneur. It was tense and i even got goosebumps even though i was a part of the audience. Its Fantastic!

Thursday 5th, was the first ever Make Your Mark Pioneers networking event. Met huge high profile young entrepreneurs and networked for about 3 hours in a 2 hour event! Some young stories that really were inspirational! The Make Your Mark are a huge asset for myself and for anyone who wants to take the entrepreneurial route!

Talking about memories, i got in touch with someone for the first time in almost 9 years. And am still in shock that it took 9 years to track this person down and all i can say that i tracked this person down 3 months too late! Ouch...!

Facebook has been a relevation for me, especially as it helped me track down old faces and friends who i have not see for years.

This post i think is a more personal one than business. But its a week that will go down in my diary with tears of joy! So i thought i'd share that with you all!

Sabirul!
