Great to see Martin Leuw’s recent blog about the secret ingredients of business growth in the ever excellent Real Business Magazine.
He uses a great example about how Walt Disney financed the huge cost of building his first theme park in 1955 when his banks told him to do the same thing that most banks are telling companies today. Visit Martin Leuw’s blog to find out how – I don’t want to steal all the best stories and their site is well worth a visit anyway.
Of course we were equally delighted to get a mention for the BLN Growth Forum on July 15th. Martin has slightly blown the gaff on our detailed instructions to speakers:
“(1) No PowerPoint
(2) Talk about your worst mistakes and what you’ve learned from them.”
Err, that is it.
It seems that we are already getting some BLN networking going though as a number of the speakers are planning on meeting in the coming weeks to plan how they are going to tackle their sessions and maximise the exposure and learning that we can gain from their business mistakes. We are humbled and grateful to you all for your input and can’t wait until we all get together.
We were touched by Martin’s comment:
“To me, that’s what entrepreneurialism is all about and I’m really excited about the event.”
Thanks Martin. So are we!
Join us on 15th July for the BLN Growth Forum in partnership with BDO & Silicon Valley Bank.
Our speakers have created over $10 billion of company value from zero. Check them out here.
Earlybird discounts available until 7th June.
