LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 06/03/11 -- Josh Cote of EA Worldwide : www.eaworldwide.co.uk/ is renowned for his contribution to the development and on-going support of new businesses in the UK and has recently seen an increase in numbers of professionals wishing to start their own businesses following the success of TV programs promoting the benefits of being entrepreneurial.



The rising coverage of successful entrepreneurs through programs such as Dragons Den, The Apprentice and The Secret Millionaire has assisted with encouraging more people to think about starting a business and to take charge of their careers. Research by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), suggest one in five professionals have been motivated to start a business through the Media's influence and encouragement of entrepreneurial traits. The report showed that through these television programs the public are gaining a more positive and confident outlook on being an entrepreneur and promoting more social value towards entrepreneurship.





Josh Cote, Entrepreneur and Managing Director of EA Worldwide : www.eaworldwide.co.uk/about-us/ based in central London comments "with entrepreneurship becoming more 'socially acceptable' by the general public, who are now aspiring to be the next James Caan or Lord Sugar, it has allowed many to pursue those dreams of running a business they never thought could actually come true. Being ambitious and wanting to be an entrepreneur is now considered 'cool' thanks to TV shows such as The Apprentice".



Many of Britain's youngsters have taken particularly well to Lord Alan Sugar. Lord Sugar, born in 1947, grew up on a council estate in East London's suburbs of Hackney and has made no secret of his humble beginnings. Many people from similar backgrounds note it's possible to have a better life based on Lord Sugar's success. Sugar now has an estimated fortune of GBP 730 million, has been ranked in the Sunday Times Rich List and although controversial spent 9 years as chairman of Football Club Tottenham Hotspur. "When you consider the success of many of the entrepreneurs featured on TV and the fact that many have opened up to the public to show their backgrounds, how they grew up and what they have achieved, it's no wonder a new wave of entrepreneurs have come about. People see through these TV shows that average, normal, everyday people can start a business, they just need to be given the tools and education to grow a business idea into a successful business plan" continues Josh Cote.



Josh Cote continues to support many small UK businesses and has plans to assist with the development and expansion of many into Europe over the next 18 months.
