New Start - old hat!

Went to Glasgow today to attend the New Start exhibition at the Seec. It was about new businesses. I thought it would be useful to find out what setting up a new venture entailed! However what I saw was loads of strange companies trying to part you from your hard earned cash (assuming you have any) to let them tell you how to set up web pages. how to use social media, etc. Have to admit the guy talking about social media was very good and I was happy to think that my efforts in that department are in the right direction.
There was another big guy yammering on about motivation, "I will tell you how to be motivated" Seemed a bit weird getting paid to tell folks how to motivate themselves especially to run a business!
Anyhow I came back with about 17 pens, countless notebooks, a mug, a flash drive, post its, cuddly toy and several bars of free chocolate.
Did I learn anything? That remains to be seen!

Happy blipping all
