WHAT IS PICKET FENCE?

The Concept:

Once a month entrepeneurs get together at an informal venue (read: funky little restaurant with lots of wine and creative ideas). Everyone gets an opportunity to introduce themselves, their company, obstables and dreams. The group then gets busy finding creative and practical solutions and ideas to forward each individual's concern.

You walk away newly inspired and creatively charged with a handful of connections to set you on your way.

Who qualifies?

Anybody with their own company/emerging company, or big-dream-about-to-become-a company.

Rules: Bring an open and creative mind.
Give, and take, constructive criticism.
Use this oppportunity for self-actualisation.



Example: I did a photoshoot with a group of young female ENGINEERS. None of them are models- the shoot proved otherwise. Perhaps one of them will go on to be a top model. Perhaps I will go on to be a top fashion photographer. Shooting these unusual suspects may just catapult me into a brave new world ...

Through this photo shoot I landed an article in a national newspaper, found a great studio, made invaluable contacts and finalised the creation of PICKET FENCE.


Embrace every opportunity.

Well done Angel -We need more people like you... I think this is a good platform to start someones dreams and goals. I believe "For every goal there is a process" picketfence could be that process to achieve their goal.
