Are you employed in a job you don’t really like? Living from weekend to weekend just looking forward to the day when you can retire? Do you dream of jumping off the treadmill, and working instead on something that requires you to use your talents to the full? To become who you were meant to be, and to get compensated in proportion to the value you add to the world?

Don’t allow yourself to be held back by that old expression that “entrepreneurs are born, not made”, because it is false. Entrepreneurs can be made, as long as they have real passion. If you are passionate about what you do, then it stands to reason you will strive to do it better than anyone else.

You also don’t need to be held back by a lack of business skills and knowledge, because those are things you can learn. Hence, this course is designed to equip you with the ability to identify, evaluate, and capitalise on business opportunities, setting the stage for your business success.
