100 Entrepreneurs in 365 Days

100 Entrepreneurs in 365 Days

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 27 of April 2017

New Zealand serial entrepreneur Logan Elliott has launched an ambitious goal to help 100 people start a new business within the next year.

“If you’re a wantrepreneur, now’s the time to become an actual entrepreneur,” he says.

Elliott is the co-founder of entertainment company Highly Flammable, and more recently, the founder of business mentorship course Lifetime Creative.

He’s lectured entrepreneurship at Otago University and has spent the last four years as a digital nomad; running his businesses from wherever he pleases all around the world.

His entrepreneurship has allowed him a life many would dream of. A life which includes hanging out with Richard Branson and getting paid to party on an active volcano off the coast of Italy.

Over his time in business, he’s met and helped dozens of entrepreneurs reach their own business goals. He’s also met thousands of people wanting to start their own business, but yet to do so.

For virtually all of them, Elliott says it’s a fear of failure that keeps them from giving it a crack, as well as a false perception that starting a business is only for a select few.

“It doesn’t matter what age, race, religion, gender you are; if you want true freedom, starting a venture is the best way to do it. It’s an enormous amount of fun and a tremendous challenge at the same time, so it pays to learn from someone who’s been through it all and lives for entrepreneurship.

“It’s good to learn from your own mistakes but it’s great to learn from someone else’s. My classes are a chance to laugh at my mistakes and get on the road to success faster.”

Elliott’s Lifetime Creative courses are targeted for young professionals who are sick of the 9-5 and want more meaningful ways to use their skills and passions.

It’s through the Lifetime Creative Masterclass that Elliott hopes to arm 100 entrepreneurs with the skills to succeed within the next year to create their own business.

“I just want to help people blur the lines between work and play, like I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my own life.

"If you combine the things you're passionate about, the things you're excited about, and create something that brings you income and a career then I think that is the ultimate version of success."
