LONDON, ENGLAND, November 03, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Josh Cote a successful business owner and entrepreneur will promote Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) to encourage many budding entrepreneurs to put plans in motion to start businesses and assist with developing work opportunities for others. Kauffman Foundation and Enterprise UK founded Global Entrepreneurship week in 2008 and signed Youth Business International to become the national host for 2011. Since beginning in 2008, Global Entrepreneurship Week has spread to 115 countries worldwide.
"The growth of GEW has been amazing. To think it started in 2004 and in less than 8 years has become a success around the world, promoting the benefits of entrepreneurship and encouraging a higher level of ambition from young people," says Josh Cote.
Josh Cote works with many small UK businesses and is in favour of advancing the education of entrepreneurship and its benefits as he believes it can improve the economic welfare of the United Kingdom.
"I believe a lot can be gained from creating work opportunity for yourself and others. The benefits are endless, independence and freedom to work wherever or however you please, earning potential - as you determine the value of the product or service your business offers, the ability to be original with ideas. Of course there is always an element of risk but that creates excitement and helps drive a business forward which I think contributes the many positives," comments Josh Cote.
The goal for implementing Global Entrepreneurship Week was to give advice and support to people wanting to start a business. It is suggested that over half the population of Britain want to start a company but less than 5% actually ever take the plunge. Many seminars and events take place during GEW to outline the process to starting a business and combat many of the concerns that people have. Results from GEW 2010 show that 35% of people who attended an event were less likely to hold back starting a business by fear of failure. There was an increase of 60% in the number of participants who considered entrepreneurship as a good career choice.
"Last year's results are really encouraging. The awareness of entrepreneurship benefits generated through Global Entrepreneurship Week has been really positive," adds Josh Cote.
Josh Cote has plans to run workshops and conference calls for business owners in the outsourced sales industry to further promote entrepreneurship benefits.
