Are you stuck in a job you don’t enjoy, merely living for the weekends and counting down the days to retirement? Or perhaps you dream of breaking free to work on something that truly uses your talents? In that case, do you want to become your best self and get paid in line with the value you bring?

Don’t let the saying “entrepreneurs are born, not made” hold you back—it’s simply untrue. Entrepreneurs can be made, as long as they have passion. When you’re passionate about your work, you’ll naturally strive to be the best.

A lack of business skills shouldn’t stop you either. These skills can be learned. That’s why this course is designed to teach you how to identify, evaluate, and capitalise on business opportunities, setting the stage for your business success.
