Are you an Entrepreneur – someone who has started and runs your own business and you are registered as either self-employed, a sole trader, a partnership, a limited company or a social enterprise? Or are you an aspiring Entrepreneur?
If you’ve answered Yes, as an Entrepreneur have you ever thought ‘Am I the only one going through (whatever that thing is)?’ or ‘Maybe I should go back to my 9 to 5’.
As an aspiring Entrepreneur have you thought ‘I want to be an Entrepreneur, but how do I start?’ or ‘When is the right time to leave my 9 to 5?’.
Or as either have you ever thought ‘Can I keep my 9 – 5 and keep my side hustle and still call myself an Entrepreneur?’ or ‘Am I going to make 6 figures?’.
If these thoughts resonate with you, hosted by Judith Denton, come along to The Entrepreneurs 5 Lessons™ to hear from a Panel of Entrepreneurs who will each share the 5 Lessons they have learnt on their Entrepreneurial Journey, to inspire, motivate and affirm your Entrepreneurial way forward. There'll also be time for Q&A to help prepare you for 2026 and space for you to connect and Network with likeminded Entrepreneurs and Aspiring Entrepreneurs.

About Nurse Kitty Kat
Hey! I’m Kat — but most people know me as Nurse Kitty Kat. I’m 26, born and bred in London, and an aesthetic nurse prescriber who loves all things aesthetics, from filler to the perfect little Botox touch.
I’ve been running my own business for three years now, after starting out in the NHS as a paediatric nurse. A lot of this journey I’ve had to figure out on my own, but step by step I’ve built something I’m really proud of. Now that I’ve found my feet, I’d love to help others do the same and smash their own business goals.

About Deborah Akinte
I am a chef, entrepreneur and community champion with a deep passion for food and people. The heart behind my growing brand, Bizzy Mamaz Kitchen is rooted in African and Caribbean fusion cuisine and my cooking blends tradition, creativity and soul. What started as a small kitchen project has now expanded into catering services, a food truck, community events and my developing media platform, Kitchen Talks with Bizzy Mamaz where food becomes a gateway to real conversations and cultural connection.
Before stepping fully into entrepreneurship, I spent over seven years working as a PMO Analyst in the banking sector and the NHS. Those years strengthened my skills in leadership, organisation and strategic delivery skills that I now bring into my business. As a mother, mentor and advocate, I use my platform to empower families, uplift the Black community and create spaces where people feel seen, nourished and inspired. My journey reflects resilience, reinvention and the power of turning passion into a purposeful enterprise.
