Entrepreneurial Business Program

If you were sitting right now in front of a global entrepreneur in your business sector, what questions would you ask them?

You have the chance of a lifetime to take your place on an Entrepreneurial Business Visit to Los Angeles.

Why you should jump at the opportunity:

It's been a few weeks since I came back from my networking trip to Los Angeles, which was one of the most energy generating experiences of my life.

Of course there are always doubts about whether American methods work here in the UK, but the one thing I learned which confirmed what I've always believed:

In order to achieve what you want, you have to take action.

I made so many contacts over there with CEOs of global companies that I'm determined to take other entrepreneurs over there to make contacts at the same level.

We're putting together our first Entrepreneurial Program now. It will be limited to 10 people from a specific business sector. You will receive:

One to one access to global entrepreneurs in your market - these people do not offer their time to just anyone, so you have to be focused and determined to be accepted.

Of course you need to know more about this before you decide. You can understand that this will not be a cheap visit. You wouldn't expect it to be when we can offer you access to people such as the president of a company that mounts exhibitions world wide. Or the chance to learn about an entrepreneurial programme currently ranked by Princeton University as no 1 in the US. Or how about time with one of the pioneers of the internet who advises on technology to governments in the US, UK, and Japan.

Whatever your business, we can find a match for you in Los Angeles.

You can sit and think about it. Or you can pick up the phone to learn more. Call Sharon or Brendan on 0115 941 8242 and take the first step to the next level.

All Children Need

Vision proudly hosted the launch of Dumhi's new single 'All Children Need' on Thursday 22nd of May at our Head office in Nottingham.

Dumhi, the band name of 'Little Music Room Productions' has been a client of Vision's for over a year now and have witnessed rapid growth (no connection there then !!). As part of our support for the Organisation we provided the venue and associated support for the launch which was attended by over 100 professionals from the Music and Business world. It was a wonderful evening and once the crowds had thinned a little; even yours truly had a bit of a jam session with the band (much to Sharons horror).

Anyhow the aim of the single is to highlight the plight of children and their associated need. All profits are being directly donated to the BBC's Children in need annual appeal, and the word on the street is that this song is a hot bet to become this years official song.

If you would like to hear the song please go to http://www.AllChildrenNeed.com
You may even want to download it !!!!!!! it really is very good.

Wild Orchids Black Tie Boogie Night

On Friday 25th April Vision Development Consultants hosted a Wild Orchids Black Tie Boogie Night to help Marie Ashby from the BBC raise money for Cancer Researchers. With a lot of hard work and organisation, together with a great team, the results were outstanding.

We had aimed to raise £500 but actually achieved nearly £800. The event was an absolute sell out and was an excellent success with a great deal raised for Marie Ashby?s cause, and most importantly everyone had fun on the night!

Vision would like to say a big thank you to Photo Nottingham, Loving Touch Therapies, BBC, Ferrers Gallery, Alight, Cooper and Taylor, Hilton Hotel Nottingham, Natwest Bank, Weavers Wine Merchants, Kate Smith Designs, Luxury Indulgence, JT Beedham & Sons Ltd, Malika Entertainment, Cumin Restaurant and Scrumpies.
