TEDx Talk - 'The Birth of Teen-Trepreneurs'

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you my TEDx Talk...It was a fantastic experience that has led me on to brilliant opportunities.

Ever since my trip back from Nigeria, I have been connecting with many African TV shows, magazines and papers! There is still one show which has yet to be shown on BEN TV which is called the ‘Rhoda Wilson Show’ which will be hosted soon! Will keep you posted.

I’ve been meeting many famous names over the past few months and also many great networks...This brings me on to one of my biggest projects which I’m hoping to have launched in September next year! It’s to give young people the opportunity to set up their own business, be mentored and receive funding from business angels...All through ‘The World At Your Feet.’ More will be revealed soon!

October 9th 2009 – Was the day I spoke at a TEDx event which is an independently organised TED conference having been invited by Daniel Priestley. Over millions of people watch TED speakers online and to be a part of this group is sensational...especially for what it brings with regards to connections and future help.

The funny story behind it was that having met Daniel at an event hosted by the YES Group, I was shopping with my mum in Asda and received a call from Daniel about a month before the event and he explains to me what TED is and why it’s such a prestigious event. I was blown away...Not just for the fact that I’ve been invited to speak at a TEDx event, but just to hear how important and also the big names that have spoken in such conferences i.e. The likes of Bill Clinton!!!
I can only say Thank You to Daniel...But still feel that isn’t enough for the reward it brings me...But it shows the social element to what makes Daniel a really successful entrepreneur!!!

The talk I gave illustrates the vision and power behind the future ‘Teen-Trepreneurs’ and how as a young entrepreneur what we do now and the message it develops, holds the key to the success for nations around the world.

Update with The World At Your Feet: Currently developing an online demo of the ‘Teen-Trepreneur’ board game with Digital 2.0 and also have the BBC World Services doing a documentary on my journey for the less educated in Bangladesh.

I have currently rolling 2 TV show opportunities...One is with SWAT TV which is where i’ll be having my own online TV show which i’m currently working on with SWAT TV, approximately 800,000 viewers is estimated worldwide!

Also am pitching to the BBC for my own TV show with GENEUS Films who are the production company! Fingers crossed on both!

Finally i have now got my new ‘Little TWAYFers’ to help develop the stories leading up to The World At Your Feet Cartoon Series...Really exciting stuff!

Enjoy the talk!

A week with confidence!

On monday this week i had my video filming with YooDoo, thanks again to Mike Southon for getting me involved. YooDoo are fantastic and inspirational for business new-comers, wanting help and inspiration on how to get started.

On wednesday that week, had a fantastic meeting with no other than a former Dragons Den tycoon 'Simon Woodroffe.' On his luxurious boat and no this wasnt about asking for investment but both Simon and I are the only two ambassadors for an enterprise organisation called 'StepUp.' But Simon did mention he'll help in getting my board game into retail!!!

On thursday...! Had a meeting with a potential investor for 'Teen-Trepreneur' - The World At Your Feet board game, and it went very well. Fingers crossed he comes back with a positive verdict!

And today, i'm off to Dollis Hill to talk to a bunch of young people giving them the inspirational and help to succeed as an entrepreneur through enterprise! I'm really looking forward to it!

Next week is big, getting everything sorted for the launch of 'The World At Your Feet' book and board game, with a possible launch date of June 4th!

Stay Tuned!

Salute to 2009!

Hey everyone! What a year 2008 has been not only for 'The World At Your Feet' coming to life but the journey i have experienced! It may already be nearing the end of the first month in 2009 but already in the past 23 days, i have managed to come up with innovative ideas, provide greater inspiration and of course develop the award winning brand!

In the past week or so i have had meetings with my solicitors, BT and my inspirational mentor who all plan to have a great say in developing 'The World At Your Feet.' The brand will now officially be registering as a 'trademark' and 'The World At Your Feet' board game is almost at the stage of production!

Not only that 'The World At Your Feet' will actively engage with the young audience with two secret ideas which i will be revealing soon! So keep your eyes and ears open!

And finally 'The World At Your Feet' has now got an official (redesigned) logo both for the business and for the 'Little TWAYFers'! It will be launched on Tuesday next week!

All the Best
