Helping you on your Entrepreneurial Journey
Entrepreneurs Journey is a series of activities that we run to provide general assistance to entrepreneurs who are at the early stages of their journey. There are three main threads to the program;
- Startup Redlands pitch night events. A fun evening of networking based around a pitch competition.
- Monthly radio program ‘Searchlight – Entrepreneurs Journey’ on Bay FM. Each month we feature a successful entrepreneur telling us their story and an interview with the founder of a selected featured startup. Podcasts of previous programs can be found below.
- Free e-book ’12 Guiding Principles for Business Success’.
- Free mentoring sessions for selected entrepreneurs/startups.

Each month we explore the key points on the Entrepreneurs Journey from concept to successful startup. In each program we hear from an established and successful entrepreneur about their particular journey. We also have a guest who is a specialist in the topic at hand, plus we spotlight some featured startups.
Not so long ago, if you went to business school to learn about marketing you would have been taught about the ‘P’s of marketing, Product, Price, Place, Promotion etc. But the Internet and the growth of social media has changed those old principles forever. So in this edition of Searchlight Entrepreneurs Journey, we take a look at the importance of digital and online marketing and ask what, as as a founder or business owner, do you really need to know and understand about it?
Joining regular hosts John Burkett and Sharyn Doolan to explore this important topic is online and digital marketing expert Mark Jones of Your Digital Solution. We will also be joined by some entrepreneurs to find out about their real-life journey in using on-line and social media marketing, Diane Conroy of Wild Woolly Heads, a craft product business, Drew Campbell of business insurance broker startup Tetris Insurance and Paul Collins of Redlands based software as a service business SkillsTx.
