A special gathering to get Barrow's young people interested in running businesses will be told that entrepreneurs are like rock stars.
Emma Jones of Manchester business consultants Redbrick, which is masterminding the Local Heroes event with Furness Enterprise, said: "Rock stars like Madonna and Franz Ferdinand also possess those qualities necessary for enormous success: talent, initiative and determination. Entrepreneurs then are not unlike rock stars."
"They require the same attributes in order to succeed in the business world and often enjoy the same rewards goodles of money and varying degrees of fame, and all without intrusive tabloid press and early graves."
On Wednesday October 20 some of the brightest stars of Barrow business will share their start-up stories and tips with Barrow's hopeful young entrepreneurs.
