Marketing Specialist | Social Media Manager and Content Creator | Business Management Candidate| Partner at Major Mixer Society QMUL | Queen Mary University Of London
Initiatives hold the power to unearth the world's hidden treasures. You can either drift in the comfort of the status quo or ignite a blaze of effort,creating pathways to elevate both yourself and the people around you. A few months ago the Major Mixer team Lijun Hou, Mikhail Andreev, Endrit Haziri, Ernest Romanovskij, Zhishan Huang and I, organized a Pitch Competition Event at Queen Mary University of London From the spark of an idea to standing on that stage, it's been a transformative experience. 🌟A few lessons learnt while organizing this event: -Simulations are your tickets to seamless execution -Find the ideal team and master the art of delegation based on individual strengths. -Occasionally, it's wiser to decline commitments than to fall short on delivery. -Evaluate and dissect risks, ready to adapt in any circumstance. -Always keep contingency plans at your fingertips. -Empower your friends' ideas with your unwavering support; sometimes, that's all they need to turn their vision into reality. This event was more than a competition; it was a celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and teamwork. I'm immensely proud of what we achieved together. A big shoutout to everyone who supported us along the way - our judges, participants and audience. Your belief in us fueled our determination. #PitchCompetition #UniversityJourney

Pleased to see success of my friend Lewis Sheats in this award. Entrepreneurship is the creation or extraction of economic value in ways that generally entail beyond the minimal amount of risk (assumed by a traditional business), and potentially involving values besides simply economic ones. An entrepreneur is an individual who creates and/or invests in one or more businesses, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. The process of setting up a business is known as "entrepreneurship". The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services, and business/or procedures.
Congratulations to Lewis Sheats of Saint Louis University Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship for his recognition as the 2024 Ray Smilor Volunteer of the Year Award recipient during the USASBE 2024: Forging the Future Together. The Ray Smilor Volunteer of the Year is given to an individual who has provided exceptional service to USASBE over the last year. Join us in celebrating Lewis on this recognition!

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day, LinkedIn family! 🍀 As we don our green attire and celebrate all things Irish today, I want to highlight an incredibly insightful article I recently came across. It delves deep into the economic impact of St. Patrick's Day and how it's not just all about leprechauns and luck, but also about the power of cultural celebrations to boost economies and businesses worldwide. Did you know that St. Patrick's Day brings in a significant surge in retail and hospitality sales, with millions of dollars being poured into local businesses? Pubs and restaurants see a spike in customers, with traditional Irish food and beverages taking center stage, while the demand for festive attire creates a wave of seasonal commerce. It is amazing to see how a day steeped in tradition has evolved over the years to become a global economic stimulant. It's also a day that reminds us of the importance of cultural diversity and the positive impact it can have on business growth and community development. The article beautifully emphasizes how embracing cultural celebrations can lead to economic progress and cross-cultural understanding. As we raise our glasses in toast to St. Patrick, let's also toast to the immense opportunities such festivals offer for entrepreneurship, marketing, and global connections. Here's to the spirit of Ireland, which shows us that the blending of culture and commerce can yield a pot of gold for businesses and economies alike! Sláinte! (That's cheers in Irish 😉) 🌈 #StPatricksDay #EconomicImpact #CulturalDiversityInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #GlobalEconomy #CelebratingCulture 🌈 https://ayr.app/l/9Afs
