Over 160 local would-be entrepreneurs from across Northern Ireland including Ards and North Down Borough Council attended the hybrid workshop with entrepreneur and business mentor Phil Graham

The Go For It Programme hosted a special ‘Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset’ hybrid workshop with hugely successful entrepreneur and business mentor Phil Graham on recently in celebration of Global Enterprise Week.

 This project is part funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund under the Investment for Growth & Jobs Northern Ireland (2014-2020) Programme.

 The free workshop provided budding entrepreneurs from across Ards and North Down Borough Council with insights on building confidence, creativity, self-reliance and resourcefulness all of which are key for starting a successful business. 

The event was hosted by local radio presenter and entrepreneur Cate Conway and offered insights into how Phil developed his own entrepreneurial mindset highlighting how this has been essential to his success as one of the UK and Ireland’s leading fitness experts and business mentors.

Dr Eugene McGuckin, Programme Manager, Northern Ireland Business Start Up Programme said: “Our Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset workshop was a huge success with over 160 aspiring entrepreneurs attending both in person and virtually. We hope this event provided some useful information on how to turn your business dream into a reality and highlighted the wide range of resources that are available to you through the Go For It programme.

“A huge thank you to our host Cate Conway and to our speakers, Phil Graham, Nina Cristinacce and Caolan Campbell! We look forward to meeting the budding entrepreneurs who will take the leap to launching a business through the Go For It programme and as Phil Graham said “you’ll get rewarded for your actions” so we encourage you to take the leap and Go For It!”
