Each week, a Young Entrepreneur of The Week (@YEW_GLOBAL) is selected by Ms Lawer and a blog about their various businesses and themselves is published on the website. The blog’s sole purpose is to encourage and motivate other young adults to become entrepreneurs at an early stage of their lives by proving to them that it can be done.
