James Caan sets up entrepreneur academy

James Caan, businessman and star of BBC’s Dragons’ Den, is launching his own business academy – The James Caan Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy - which specialises in entrepreneurialism.

The academy launches with a one-day introductory seminar ‘Total Business Mastery’ on Saturday 20th March 2010 at the Holiday Inn, Kensington Forum.

James Caan is spearheading his new venture for emerging entrepreneurs and existing owners of small to medium sized enterprises, interested in modelling the very best.

The purpose of the academy is to provide knowledge, pass on hard gained experience and practical guidance for entrepreneurs.

“The problem with being the boss is you have no-one guiding you,” says caan. “Asking ‘businessman friends’ seems like defeat and you don’t want to admit you’re a novice. But everyone needs a helping hand. You may have heard the phrase ‘Businesses don’t fail, people do!’”

Caan continues: “5% of being an entrepreneur is about the idea and mindset, the rest is about taking action and accountability.”

London has two mayors. One, a mop-topped former journalist, wields more power than anybody outside the Cabinet and many within it. The other, a sober accountant, spends a significant proportion of his year in office jetting around the world telling anyone who will listen what jolly fine chaps our bankers really are.
