Enterprise Cafe: new podcast packed site
A new website offers a “laugh-laden smorgasbord” of free help, advice, guidance, motivation and inspiration for anyone already running a business or thinking of setting one up. The person behind EnterpriseCafe.tv is Iain Scott, who continues to cause consternation in the enterprise world by claiming you don’t need a business plan to start up a business.
Scott, originally from Glasgow but now based in Cornwall, spends a large part of the year travelling the length and breadth of the UK delivering short, sharp, highly successful courses for aspiring entrepreneurs, under the Enterprise Island banner.
His ‘Enterprise Agony Uncle’ is probably the first of it’s kind in the UK and almost certainly the only one in a kilt.
Visitors logging onto the site can watch Scott deliver his own brand of highly original, and often hilarious, business start-up homilies (”The Entrepreneur’s A – Z”), filmed in his office at home, usually by a member of his family.
Currently screening on www.enterprisecafe.tv is Scott’s bite-sized lesson on the dangers of too many business overheads, a message he gets across by placing a small tomato on a chopping board (”the business chopping board of life”) and smashing it with a large hammer. Having splattered himself and the surrounding walls with tomato pulp, Scott warns: “Be very afraid of overheads.”
