This August I joined a business accelerator program called Entrepreneurial Spark, where I have been pushed out of my comfort zone on a weekly basis and I've launched this shiny new website. One of the best parts is the people, I have met the most amazing 'chiclets' (fellow business owners), who are giving their all to follow their dreams and set up their own business.
