Obviously, I haven’t blogged in quite awhile. I went back to school, full time, in September to learn how to build a business plan. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to use this business for my plan, as it is already in existence and I had to use a new business. So, I went for graphic design – my other passion.

I graduated from school on March 2 and have been working on applying the knowledge to this fledgling business. In conversation, the subject of the Dragon’s Den came up – a national tv show where entrepreneurs get to pitch their product in hopes of receiving investors and investment in their company. It was mentioned, yet again, that I should audition for it.

I looked when the dates were for auditions on Wednesday, March 21st. Holy cow! Auditions were for the following Monday, March 26 – and I’d better get my ducks in a row if I was going to audition. Five days ensued of being buried in statistics and research and practicing my ‘pitch’.

Monday, the 26th dawned, grey and drizzling. I got to the auditions about 10:45 and was #12. I sat with the other auditioners, waiting for my number to be called.

Finally, it was my turn. Although nervous, I presented to the producers and was requested to use the product on two of the five panelists. Once the questions started, my nervousness was eliminated, and I answered all their questions with confidence. There is no indication of whether you are going to be chosen or not, but they did ask me if I was chosen, how would I present it. I have to admit that question stumped me for a few minutes.

‘Tune’ in tomorrow for the next step in my journey!

Have a pain conquered day!
