On Monday 3 July, we hosted a panel on how to turn your side hustle into your main business with some amazing women who've done just that. The refreshingly honest and frank discussion was chaired by the former News & Events Editor for Time Out, Sonya Barber and speaking on the panel were: Founder of The Dots, Pip Jamieson; Founder & Director of Sid Motion Gallery, Sid Motion and Founder & Creative Director of Paradise Row, Nika Diamond-Krendel.

Our speakers shared their advice and practical tips on what it's really like to 'go it alone' - sharing stories about the lows but also the incredible highs of starting your own company. The most important piece of advice they gave? If you have a burning desire to start something, let go of your fear and DO IT!
