If we can, you can challenge

Being a finalist in the challenge has really motivated me to take my business idea to the next stage. I have business plans and presentations to show investors. I don't have the money to do this myself so I am hoping to gain investment by using the challenge to generate exposure. It is so exciting developing the idea.
A local school has approached me to possibly work with them on an entrepreneur work shop for the kids. It would help motivate the children and teach them what being an entrepreneur means. I think it is a great idea and hope to be involved. It is an honour to be asked and I hope to do more work like this in the future.
The challenge has given me the stepping stone to proceed with my business idea and I can't wait to get going.

Matt is so passionate about what he wants to achieve that he deserves the opportunity to try to put his ideas into practice. I really wish him luck.

What better business than to take 'kids of the street'. As a teacher of secondary children, he has hit the nail on the head with the 'gap' in the market. The government talk about taking kids off the street - Matt is actually doing it!!!

More power to him I say - he makes our jobs much easier and has a genuine passion for his business - a real case of 'putting something back'.

I am voting for Matt Stirland for his Playhouse health clubs for kids idea. Its just what kids and parents need!!
