Startacus Room 101 - It’s where all those ‘pet hates’ go!!
Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s 1984 and the TV show with the same name, what we’re doing is asking 
Startacus members and leading entrepreneurs alike to nominate something to banish into the Startacus Entrepreneurial Room 101 - and for eternity too!
Like the TV show - all they have to do is nominate their pet hate, peeve, fear, phobia or nightmare to be put into our virtual Room 101 - as long as it has a starter, startup or entrepreneurial twist or angle.
So drum roll please, check out below the proposals so far voted to appear in the Startacus HQ Cellar...They might not be our choices, but after all Startacus - The Self Start Society is all about you...no self-professed self importance here!
Week 1
Cold Calling Telesales People ARE VOTED IN
Week 2
The Job title “Entrepreneur” IS VOTED IN
Week 3
The overuse of the word "Hacking" IS VOTED IN
Week 4
We are taking a wee mid season semester - back next week
