We have reached that time of the year when there is a lot of entrepreneur coverage in the media.
A new series of The Apprentice starts this Tuesday 10th May at 9pm on BBC One (UK broadcast times) and then perhaps more significantly if you are an aspiring entrepreneur in the UK The Business Start Up Show is at ExCel London on the 19th and 20th May – please note tickets are free and still available at the time of writing.
