Young Entrepreneur Proves Teachers Wrong March 23

Filed under Success stories by Seriously Business | 0 comments

With only a few pounds in his pocket and the will to succeed, a young entrepreneur has proved his teachers wrong by setting up his own business now worth over £250,000.

Stuart Edney dropped out of a university course in entrepreneurship when he was 22 with the idea of starting his own company.

Two years later, he has the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Scotland under his belt and his own online promotion company, WhiteSparks Promotions.

Stuart was helped with loans from Business Gateway and the Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT), set up specifically to provide finance and professional support to potential entrepreneurs aged 18 to 25.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Stuart said he always knew from a very young age that he wanted to run his own business.

He said: “It’s not been easy to get to where I am, but it certainly wasn’t anywhere near as hard as my school teachers implied.

“My advice to anyone with a good idea and the desire to start a business is just to go for it. For all the people out there who’ll tell you that you can’t do it, there are twice as many who’ll tell you that you can.”
