NOVEMBER 2023
I joined Made in Bury Academy as I was a year into trading and had been running around delivering but with no structure to my offer or services. I had effectively just created myself a job and I wanted to create a proper business. I knew I would need some help to get me to a place of processes and practices that would enable this. Having attended the discovery session, the programme sounded exactly what I needed and would also give me a great network of peers to support and work with, to help us all succeed.
I have been on the programme for a couple of months now and it has more than delivered on my expectations. I have loved getting to know everyone and hear about the diverse businesses in the room and I have also taken so much value from each session. Each module is really focused and clear and while I haven’t put everything into practice so far, I know I have so many tools at my disposal to make my business succeed, and I know I will implement everything at the right time.
I am really enjoying having access to a mentor and having the opportunity to digest my learnings as well as interpreting how the specific activities can help drive my business forward and bouncing those off someone who has also set up on their own and has experienced all that running a business has to offer. The Academy Programme is such a good way to get you to think differently about your approach and focus your attention on all aspects of running a business, without it feeling too overwhelming, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
