Starting a Retail or High Street Business
- Whitechapel Enterprise Hub
Ground Floor
206 Whitechapel Road
London
E1 1AA - 25th July, 2019
The objective of the group is to network with other similar local businesses and to support and be supported by your peers to achieve some clearly defined goals over the next year (and beyond).
For Enterprising High Street registered clients.
It can be a lonely furrow running your own business. When there is only yourself to answer to it is quite easy to take your eye off the ball or see small obstacles as mountains.
That’s why I would like to invite you, as a business on our Enterprising High Street programme to join our EHS Growth Club.
The objective of the group is to network with other similar local businesses and to support and be supported by your peers to achieve some clearly defined goals over the next year (and beyond).
We will meet on the third Tuesday of every other month to encourage and measure progress towards your own business targets. It has been proven that you are much more likely to achieve your goals if you share them with others.
It will be an ideal environment to test ideas, meet other entrepreneurs, share experiences and re-energise your mojo.
The core activity will be at the first meeting to set your own 12 month S.M.A.R.T goal. This will be broken down into 4 x 90 day intermediate goals to measure progress along the way. Alongside this we will focus on a key topic each time that will help you develop your skill set.
As well as focusing on growth, both business and personal, there will be an emphasis on sustainability, community impact, wellbeing and communication.
The structure will be flexible enough for members to champion their own direction for the group, but as a starting point the following themes are to be presented along the way:-
SMART & Purposeful Goal Setting
Building Brand Equity
Making Your Business More Sustainable
Setting Up and Maintaining a Bookkeeping System
Photographing Your Product to Sell
The project is supported by J.P Morgan as part of our Enterprising High Street initiative for retail businesses in Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham boroughs so is free to join if you are registered on the programme.
The inaugural meeting will be at Whitechapel Enterprise Hub, on Tuesday 16th July.
This event is only open to individuals on the Enterprising High Streets programme. For more information and to see whether you are eligible please click here
