Growing pains lol

I have an opportunity to go on the Ignite Residential Course described below. Only problem is I do not have the funds to attend. I think it might cost around £400 for the whole course and to pay for transport. Only fly in the ointment I do not have the cash to pay for it. Had we not fostered the kids we might have been able to afford it. I am not moaning about it I would not have had it any other way. The kids needed us and thats that. But it meant I had to close Dyslexia Pathways for a couple of months to support the kids. I will still apply for the course you never know something might turn up

It seems dyslexics make great entrepreneurs. Studies show that 20% of  entreprenurs in the UK are dyslexis and 35% are in the US. It would be cool to do a study to find out how many dyslexic social entrepreneurs. I have done the whole social entrepreneur bit starting up Dyslexia Pathways and I already provide dyslexia support to students studying at university.

I know when I was starting up Dyslexia Pathways there was a lot of support to access. However, there was none specifically geared towards supporting dyslexic entrepreneurs. I would like to support dyslexic entrepreneurs and enable them to succeed and this course would be a useful one to be on. Still there is always next year.
