Make in Britain: the tips and techniques

&lt;p&gt;Hi, I'm Ceylan (call me&amp;nbsp;"J"). I'm on a mission to empower female entrepreneurs to build and grow fulfilling businesses that help them achieve&amp;nbsp;their financial and life goals while living enjoyable lives. I do this by developing their business acumen, strategic mindsets and entrepreneurial skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a strategist and marketing expert who spent 15 years resolving corporate companies’ issues. Then I decided to put my know-how at the service of SMEs and more specifically female entrepreneurs.&amp;nbsp;I like to call myself an entrepreneurship coach and business strategist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the co-founder and CEO of Academy for Women Entrepreneurs or 'AWE' (https://academyforwomenentrepreneurs.com/) I'm building a comprehensive network of like-minded female small business owners to help them dare, lead and change - all supported our award-winning&amp;nbsp;business training, coaching and collaboration opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female entrepreneurs are key drivers for innovation, productivity, growth, employment and social progress. Women business owners can, and want to change the world for the better and I want to help them to bring about that change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if you want to join a community of AWEsome female founders&amp;nbsp;please connect, PM me and say hi!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ceylan x&lt;/p&gt;
