The ActionCOACH Foundation offers the Young Entrepreneur Smart Start (YESS) programme free of charge. Lizzy Lloyd collaborates with the Foundation to deliver this 12-week programme, which aims to support social mobility through entrepreneurship among young people aged 18 to 25 with a business idea living in London.

If you can't attend the live virtual session, you can still access the lesson by logging into your dedicated portal whenever possible. After completing each lesson, you can reflect on what you learned, and you have the option to book a 30-minute one-on-one support meeting each week.

Limiting beliefs are the mental barriers that prevent us from realising our full potential.
