Today have by far been the most interesting day so far ! We were out seeing 3 different enterprenenurs, hearing their backstories and got to se their life project. Awesome experience !

First we saw Christine Hope's shop "Hope og Longtown" which was like a mini tiny supermarked, out in the local. Christine came back from Austria and decided they missed a vilage shop. It all developet within a few months. She got a really good deal with the bank, which ment that she didn't have to pay a lot in the begining, where she just were getting startet.  She work a lot with business plans.
She is trying to get out on the media, ex. Twitter, Facebook, Pinster, she want to communicate with a younger audience, but she doesn't have a direct plan. Tommrow some will be looking at her 2 problems which are:
1. How do she reach younger shoppers?
2. There is missing a sign, there will make people stop.

The next enterpreneur we saw was Pauline Goodwin and her restaurant "White Haywood". The farm has been in the familiy for 4 generations. She wants to show hos good simply food still can be, but the main business is still the farm, where she get a lot of her ingrediens from. There is no onw to take over the farm and restaurant his they passed away. Like Christine Pauline also wants to talk with the community, mainley they have a webside, Tripadviser and Twitter. Sadly there aren't much internet, which cost them some problems. Most of their costumers are couples, famileys and walkers. There two problems are:
1. How do they get more costumers?
2. If someone got ill, what will they do then ?

The last business we saw were "Wiggly Wigglers", "Farmer Phil" and "Great British Florist". 3 very exciting businesses. They told us so much, I can't even write it all down, but i can give some keywords for them.
Bird feed, Bokashi, Flowers, Social Media, New ways, Trust, Worms and Profit.
But I think you should tjek out their webside youself: http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/
