The Passions into Profit event took place at The British Library Business and IP Centre on Tuesday 25 August.

The aim of the event was to inspire hesitant entrepreneurs into taking the next step towards transforming their own enterprising ideas into reality.

Guest speakers, renowned illustrator, Rosie Brooks, and award winning catering entrepreneur Matt Crawford, and cake-baking Robin Campell of Cakes by Robin, inspired guests by telling their stories of how they turned their passions into profit after being made redundant. They shared some great hints and tips on starting a business. They truly encouraged and inspired.

Missed the event? Check out our Passions into Profit highlights.

What’s your ‘One Big Idea’ for a product we could sell in the UK and use the profits to help people in the developing world?

The product has to be linked to the problem you’d like to solve i.e. sell water in the UK and use the profits to provide water in Africa.

Submit your ideas or see what everyone else is saying.

Bloggers Circle has alerted me to an interesting blog about luck, and reminds us of the scene in the latest Harry Potter film where Harry pretends to slip some felix felicis in Ron’s drink, to boost his morale before an important Quidditch match. Ron plays perfectly, embued with near-magical powers by his mental state.
