Broken Biscuits: FAILED LUNCH – Hear Stories of Business Failures & Success
December 3 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
The best way to learn is by making mistakes and learning from other people’s mistakes!
Welcome to Broken Biscuits: Failed Lunch by the Dorset Entrepreneurs Club and Fareham Innovation Centre.
In this event, we will have 3 speakers sharing their biggest mistakes and failures before finding success. Allowing everyone to learn from them and hopefully avoid making the same mistakes.
Why are we calling this event ‘Broken Biscuits’? Because some people would consider a broken biscuit a failure, but they are still tasty, and people love them! Showing us that even when things go wrong, they can still be valuable, memorable, and even delightful in unexpected ways.
Our speakers will share:
· What went wrong
· How it affected them
· What they learnt from it to avoid happening again, and how they progressed forward
Each talk will finish with some time for Q&A
These stories are designed to help you embrace mistakes, failures and progression as an important part of your entrepreneurial journey.
Maybe this event will be a failure, who knows…
