This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Sahar sits on the Entrepreneurs Panel for the government and was voted one of the 10 most influential thinkers in the UK alongside Sir Tim Berners Lee, Sahar is also a fantastic speaker and we can’t wait for you to hear her.

Sahar Hashemi brought the coffee cafe culture to the UK in the 90′s with her chain Coffee Republic.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I like how she gave us a history of her entrepreneurial journey instead of some abstract motivational speech
  • Agree 100%. We forget that the school system that inculcates the culture of being an employee, was conceptualised by wealthy industrialists with government. Their aim was to create a never ending supply of workers, not entrepreneurs. This is the reason why we think entrepreneurs are special people - they are simply people who dared to want something different to what has been prescribed for them.
  • She so honest and you can feel the hard work and hardships she experience.

    Top Three: No one is determined in advance; Combine what you do, with who you are; Make it happen.

    This is probably the most eye-opening TED talk I've watched. This lady was on point with everything she said. She's talking real life here and this is what I needed the most right now as I am also starting my own venture in entrepreneurship. :D This needs to be shared! <3

    Thanks for reminder! It’s easy to forget that doubt isn’t the voice of reason but rather the voice of fear, and that we need to press delete on it!
  • I like the simplicity and naturalness’ she applies to her success story . So inspiring

    Unbelievable talk! I started watching by accident, thought of giving up after 10 seconds, stuck with it little more and finally watched in awe till the end. Thank you Sahar Hashemi.
  • This is literally the most motivational and real account of an entrepreneurial start up that I’ve heard! ❤️❤️
  • I relate to this so much as I started a coffee shop this year and a coffee cart several years ago. Thank you for the encouragement!
