Interview with Jamie Dunn – Last Year as a Teenpreneur

Be Inspired, Entrepreneurs, Interviews - Posted: May 11, 2011

Hi Jamie, it has been a while since we last spoke, how is your Entrepreneurial journey progressing?

Everything is going very well thank you! Since we last spoke I have been made the Youth Ambassador of an educational charity named BXL, I am now onto running my second company too, which is called, Made by Young People!

Wow, you have been very busy, how have you managed to do so much in so little time?

Time is valuable, so spending it productively and working on the more important tasks and projects first would be something that I have definitely learned in the past couple of months. Along with learning this, I have been able to break down my own mental barriers, before I used to believe that things were possible to be achieved overnight but I have definitely learned that this is not always the case and to be more persistent and patient with things.

So what kind of projects are you working on at the moment?

I am working on some consultancy projects with a few different organizations at the moment and always delivering quite a few speeches across the country but my big main project that is taking up all my current time is planning my next big adventure…

New adventure? Tell us some more!

I have set myself the task of travelling around 19 countries in 19 days on a budget of only £1000 all to mark my final teenage year as I will be turning 20 next January! I am going to complete this task to hopefully show other teenagers that anything is possible if you try hard enough, I have had loads of people already tell me that this can’t be done so that’s my motivation, to show that it can be and break down the barriers of belief for other people!

So where can we possibly find out some more about this?

I have uploaded a list of dates and countries that I will be visiting on my website. As part of my challenge too I will be blogging from every country and I would also like to perhaps do some free work with organizations from across the globe and also provide a free speech to different educational systems in each country but I am still very open to suggestions on what to do in each country so please get in touch if you have a great idea!
