I am looking to set up my own business in the next few months here in the UK, and am looking to go on a entrepreneur development course. Ideally I am looking at the top business schools, but can’t seem to find a 1 or 2 week course that I could go on at any of them that specialises in aspects of being an entrepreneur – that said, I have been told that they do exist, I just can’t find them! Am happy to pay for something good.
Any suggestions? Ideally I would like to be in the UK, but happy to go further afield (USA or Continental Europe etc)

I reckon reading the biographies of great businessmen on how they do it could be much more beneficial to you on a general basis than a short course which basically teaches from the textbooks about accounting.
