🥰CALLING WANNABE ENTREPRENEURS IM GIVING AWAY ANOTHER £1000 START UP🥰

Do you often dream of running your own business or working for yourself?
Not sure where to start or need that cash injection?

I’m really about supporting and empowering others to take the lead and break down those barriers that are getting in the way.

I started this brand with my last bit of money and it was less than what I’m offering you - just 3 years ago. I did this earlier this year and gave Jess £1000 to set up her business Mum Uniform.

And now I want to help you........ ❤️❤️

I am giving away £1000 to one person who’s business idea I really believe in - who I think has all the tools to make something magical and I’m going to offer my help and advice alongside it.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to spoon feed you, I’m not going to tell you what to do.
What’s right or wrong.
But I can give you a gentle nudge - you’ve got to be willing to do the hard work.
Invest the time, the stress, the pressure.
I’m just a friendly reminder to believe in yourself not to run it for you.
I’m not your business partner - I’m giving you the money and some guidance - and maybe have ideas how to bring something to life.
All that I want back is to see your passion giving it 10000%

💓💓
Here’s what Jess said who I invested in earlier this year:

Winning Lucy's entrepreneur competition has changed my life. I don't say things like that lightly, I truly mean it. I can't say much more about how at the moment, but just trust me on that one!

I had a little idea in 2018 that had pottered away in my mind for 18 months when Lucy's competition came along. Entering actually gave me the kick up the bum to do some of the tasks I'd not been bothering with, to actually get my ideas down on paper and write about it all, because up until that point I had always thought of it as a bit of a pipe dream, so even if you don't win I encourage you to enter for that reason alone.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd win. I thought 'there'll be loads of people out there with ideas better than mine, they will be much further on, I'm not even sure anyone would be interested in buying my stuff anyway', I NEARLY didn't even bother entering.

When Lucy first came back to me to say she was excited about my idea and wanted more information I was THRILLED. Still didn't think I'd win, but to hear from someone so successful that they thought my idea was good was SUCH a boost. To then hear I'd won... I didn't know how to feel, think, process it all. It's been a total rollercoaster ride. I've loved every second, and I cannot and will not ever be able to express how thankful I am to Lucy.

The financial boost was incredibly generous, and really helped me launch, but the ability to ask Lucy (countless) questions, with her industry insight and experience, has been invaluable. The exposure the business got weeks before we even launched was amazing, at the point of launching the website I already had around 5,000 Facebook followers, it was a dream come true and the momentum just keeps going.

I can't wait to see where it is this time next year, and Lucy has been there supporting me every single step of the way, she's my biggest cheerleader and having someone behind you with that sort of enthusiasm and knowledge is priceless. Not to mention, I've definitely made a friend for life! So, if you're on the fence about entering... Just do it, what are you waiting for?

💓💓

So how do you enter:
Submit your business idea to me on the google form I’ll share with you.
It can be a vague plan your not sure how to bring to life but are passionate about.
It can be a full business plan you’ve had sat waiting but haven’t took the leap.
Just make sure it’s as clear as you can make it.

All that I ask is that you are super invested in your idea and make me invested too.
Delight me, make me smile, make me go YES THIS IS IT!!

I’ll be taking submissions until 14th July (so you have two weeks to pull it all together) and I’ll be contacting shortlisted applicants for more information and a chat followed by hoping to finally select one by mid August 🎁

If you would like the application form please contact me to request it by emailing:

lucy@lucylocketloves.com

You will get a reply with the form link where you need to add as much information as possible.

So - who’s submitting something? Or who do you know who really really should?

Please note if you applied before and were unsuccessful you will need to apply again on the new form. I will be unable to contact all applicants but will try to reply where I can
