Good morning everyone,
An update!
My return to yoga teaching turned out to be a short lived after I was offered a fantastic opportunity to partner up with South of Scotland Enterprise as a Place Based Enterprise Coach in the Scottish Borders.
In this role, I will provide coaching support to individuals who are in the early stages of exploring entrepreneurship. The goal is to equip them with the necessary tools and confidence to pursue self-employment. There are no pre-requirements in terms of having a solid business idea, we can start at point zero.
Qualified individuals will receive six hours of personalised coaching and have the opportunity to apply for a £1000 grant upon completion to be used for start up preparation or costs. After the 6 sessions, additional and continued support can then be offered through Business Gateway.
There is also no expectation or pressure that individuals will be “up and running” after the 6 coaching sessions - we are measuring the success of the pilot with factors, for example, increased confidence around self employment after the coaching sessions.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in exploring, if you have alway dreamed of turning the hobby into a business or breaking away from the restrictions of employed work (or you know anyone else that may be interested), please do send me a message and we can have a chat and/or I can pass on details on how to apply.
And for yoga, CrossFit Tweedbank are looking or another yoga teacher so hopefully there will be more yoga there soon!
Take care,
Sharday
