OPENING DOORS START UP WORKSHOPS
The first session looks at the initial steps of starting a business and also focuses on building confidence to get the ideas off the ground. Day Two of the course looks at creating a business plan- particularly focusing on the key areas of finance and marketing. The final session is a one to one with a business advisor designed to allow attendees to ask questions specific to their business idea. The support of Opening Doors continues after the workshops with the provision of mentoring for
businesses less than 12 months old.

Mary Harman started her own businesses back in 2007. While living with a disability, then losing her job, she heard about Women in Rural Enterprise. “I found WiRE in 2006 which provided much needed inspiration, an upturn in confidence and self-esteem. By 2007 I started the first of two businesses, as a Photographer (Photograph Your World - turning a hobby into a business) and by 2009, as a qualified Personal
Development Coach"
