Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. The focus required to build a business according to your own unique personal vision can make make for a particularly isolating experience.

So, while not exactly a cure for loneliness, it's always good to hear other entrepreneurs' stories & pick up some useful tips along the way.

A good place to start is BIPCTV! The British Library' Business & IP Centre has posted a number of videos on YouTube where you can watch celebrity speakers during their 'Inspiring Entrepreneur' events. A few highlights include:

Doug Richard: Dragons' Den

Innocent Smoothies' Richard Reed

James Brown: Loaded

Seb Bishop: Espotting

Lord Bilimoria: Tiger Beer

As a sidenote, the Business & IP Centre also offers free e-courses. Their latest free e-course will "teach you how to do a patents search: an essential step for any inventor looking to protect an idea".

Still suffering a twinge of loneliness? Why not become a fan of the Centre on Facebook & network with over 1600 likeminded entrepreneurs? You can also suscribe the Business & IP blogs or even use Twitter to track the latest news.
