| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: First steps to becoming an entrepreneur |
|
In recent times, you could be forgiven for thinking that the life of the entrepreneur is one of endless excitement, where one good idea turns what we once called work into a walk in the park! While the day-to-day reality of an entrepreneur is anything but easy, their life can indeed be challenging, stimulating and fulfilling. Today, more than ever, we look to entrepreneurs to challenge the status quo and open new doors. So what is entrepreneurship all about? Who is it for? And how can you get started? Marianna Szeib (Master in Management 2012), took an hour out of her hectic schedule to tell us about her experience in starting her company Face to Face, a physical and digital community of fashion creators, radiating through a B2C and B2B network. Marianna looked back on the challenges she has faced and how her journey as an entrepreneur started out. Pursuing new challenges Marianna, a Polish native, joined the ESCP Master in Management in 2007 and spent three years across ESCP’s London, Madrid and Paris campuses. Settling in Paris, she worked in the fragrance industry at L’Oréal and then Dior (LVMH). “It was clear to me that I was driven by creativity and team spirit. Even though I could find those elements in my previous jobs, I wanted to look for another challenge”. Honesty and development Marianna says that future entrepreneurs need to be honest with themselves. The entrepreneurial world is open to everyone; however, the entrepreneur needs to feel at ease with uncertainty and risk. “If we are attached to a certain stability and predictability in our life then becoming an entrepreneur might cause permanent stress and frustration”. Marianna found that taking the time to get to know herself was key both before and after starting her business. Personal development courses can help to define motivations clearly to face fears. As Marianna says, “Once this work is done, we are much less influenced by criticism and more focused on our objectives in life”. Agility, passion and resilience Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be “moments of glory” and “moments of doubt”. Marianna sees the successful entrepreneur as agile and flexible. He needs to “adapt his activity to the market which is in constant movement”. With this in mind, it is clear that a strong dose of curiosity and willingness to learn will not go astray! Marianna continues, “having faith and passion in what we do is so important, it gives us the energy and strength to make things happen and not give up when the first obstacles appear”. The ability to persevere in challenging situations is something Marianna experienced during her time at ESCP. After three years working in an ever-changing international environment, Marianna thought “If I can succeed here, I can take on new challenges.” Building the right support network At ESCP, Marianna developed her ability to create strong support networks. She explains “Changing cities every year forced me to build new connections every time so that meeting new people wasn’t stressful anymore and became something very natural”. ESCP Alumni were at hand to share their experiences and offer advice when Marianna was just starting out in her career: “It’s very reassuring to be part of such a prestigious institution which helps us to open doors”. In the following years, Marianna sought out support from additional education such as the Entrepreneurs programme at l’Institut Français de la Mode and the Station F incubator to develop her company Face to Face. Throughout, the importance of family in providing support cannot be underestimated: “the emotional support of my husband and family was a key factor in overcoming all kinds of doubts.” Communication and inspiration The entrepreneur’s ability to communicate, sharing her vision of the world is a critical element in her success. Not just for clients or partners, but for new recruits as well. Today, Marianna says that building a complementary team is key to “the future success and longevity of the business”. This requires creating an inspiring and supportive working environment. “Sooner or later the entrepreneur will discover that she will not be able to make it happen all by herself”. Marianna has built a successful company in just a few years. She shows us that the fundamentals of being an entrepreneur are relatively simple: honesty, passion, agility, perseverance, communication… And to bring it all together? ESCP can help you with that! |

| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: London Business School Community – Activities, Clubs and Groups |
|
Looking to make an impact as a London Business School student? Interested in forming friendships with peers who have similar interests? If so, you will find an abundance of opportunities from treks to students-led events and everything in between. LBS clubs create cutting-edge experiences and our active alumni and professional interest networks will keep you connected far beyond your student years. With more than 75 clubs, over 1000 club events each year and over 150 student leaders there are a lot of ways for students to refine their leadership and organisational management experience, explore interests, and make friendships that will last a lifetime. I sat down with Kathryn Larin (MBA 2021), Shira Giat (MiFFT 2020) and Serena Grillo (MAM 2020) for a webinar event to learn about their involvement in the clubs and LBS community. How would you describe the LBS community? All three echoed how collaborative, open and supportive they felt the community is. From before you even set foot on campus, both students and staff are open to give their time when answering prospects’ questions. Kathryn, who is an ambassador, explains that she speaks to prospective students daily, supporting them through the application process; something she enjoys doing as it replicates the support she was given. Serena used the word ‘welcoming’ when describing the community. She attended our online and in person events during her application process and found she was easily able to connect with students and faculty who supported her every step of the way and continued to throughout her study year. Shira highlighted that the network opportunities are endless. The ability to learn from other people’s professional experiences, and the diversity of your peers, enhances the learning experience which makes the discussions in class and outside class very fruitful. Which clubs did you choose to be involved with? Kathryn explained that her background knowledge was in investment, however she wanted to explore something new and decided to immerse herself in the entrepreneurship world. She had little knowledge about the trends or how the venture capital model worked, therefore by joining the entrepreneurship club and attending the events she found this to be useful exposure and through these events she connected with a class mate who was organising the Hackathon. If you’ve never heard of a Hackathon, that’s not surprising. It’s an event that promotes finding new solutions to problems, while showcasing the best in team collaboration. Coders, designers and business minds come together to build, pitch and win funding with their original ideas. For Shira the private equity and venture capital club was her club of choice due to its relevance to her studies and career aspirations. The club organises many speaker events; for example, Shira attended an investing in e-sports event which featured Adam White -CEO of Edge to discuss investing in the gaming industry – which is even trendier now that we are locked at home. Shira added that the club also organises high quality modelling workshops which supported her in further developing her modelling skills. In addition they organise case competitions like the Harvard Global Case competition. The event brings together students with finance and business backgrounds from across the world to compete on a finance case involving strategic management. She explained that the best teams are selected to present their ideas in front of a panel of judges competing with schools from all around the world. Shira found this to be a brilliant experience which combined a great learning experience with a lot of fun and she is proud to have been one of the finalists in the competition! Serena knew early on that she wanted to be involved in the Tech and Media Club as this is a passion which has decided to pursue as a career. She joined the club as she wanted to input more to support the first ever MAM class, and with it being the first technical programme, she found that students needed further support when it came to applying to tech jobs and further developing their technical skills to compete in the job market. She wanted to represent her MAM class and their interests and also learn from others from the club. To learn more about what the students get involved in and what the LBS community has to offer watch the full webinar here.
