Be persistent – its hard! Look at the skills, experience and contacts you have already – you have loads! Entrepreneurship can come from anything including your hobbies and interests. Do something you are passionate about and don't let the b......s get you down! Don't be afraid to ask for help. Keep sight of why you set up your business. Enjoy what you do – even if it does not work out exactly how you planned you still achieved something fantastic!
