Young Entrepreneur Helps Younger Entrepreneurs

- Urges others to follow suit

Reading-based entrepreneur, Nick James, 31, has signed up as a Young Enterprise mentor to help a local team of school-based entrepreneurs develop their potential – and is urging others to do the same. The founder of Nick-James.com, the on-line club offering resources and advice to people wanting to set up an on-line business, has committed to mentoring a team of budding students to be allocated in the new school term, starting September 2007.

The Young Enterprise Scheme aims to offer youngsters real life experience of running their own business, from deciding on a product through to marketing it.  Teams compete for various awards, from business idea through to marketing, and Nick is naturally hoping that his team will win the challenge.
