Came across the Starting Today seminar on the examiner website here. I have to say I think its a great idea and well done Joan Mulvihill. I remember somebody telling me a while ago that he believed the only way out of the Irish recession is for individuals to create new successful Irish businesses and that neither government or the unions had the answers. I tend to agree with this thinking and we need more people like Joan Mulvihill, heres a quote from Joan:
“In this recession, people need to take charge of their own world,”
“I am not emigrating again. Don’t ask people who are 35 years old, or people with families and mortgages to go to Australia. Don’t panic. Think about what you want to do. A lot of people set up businesses in the 1980s and 1990s just to avoid emigration. We must ask ourselves ‘what can I make?’ Or ‘what can I do?’”
