Top Tips for Teen Entrepreneurs: from the Teenweb Conference 2012 @ Google Campus

[lordlancaster]

One of the highlights of the Teenweb Conference for me was hearing Adam Greenough and Ed Crampin of Portsmouth-based design firm Amazorize sharing their 'Top Tips' (some of the best I've ever seen/heard).




There's a brief summary of these on The Next Web at: http://thenextweb.com/uk/2012/07/16/...entrepreneurs/ but the full list of tips they shared were:

• Your idea is probably not unique. Stop treating it like a top secret mission!
• Don't go it alone
• You don't know until you try...what have you got to lose?
• Be professional...and age should never be a problem
• Write everything down...and sleep with a notebook
• Don't undersell yourself...because you're worth it
• Network, network, network
• Haters gonna' hate
• Never stop learning...you can always be better
• Do what you love...and everything else will fall into place
• Be imaginative and make a difference
• Do something amazing

Thank you.

For 2 guys so young, Adam and Ed really had their heads screwed on and I predict a very bright future for them and Amazorize.

Hi Paul

Thanks for sharing my article and it was a pleasure talking with you at the conference itself. Adam and Ed both did a fantastic job and I'm sure a lot of young, aspiring entrepreneurs got some great points from their talk which will help aid starting their business.

I'm flattered, thanks for the feature Paul! Your talk was pretty interesting too, LiveWIRE looks really useful! Thought I'd better sign-up and join the fun.
