Empower aspiring entrepreneurs with this blended programme that guides them through the key steps to getting a business off the ground.
I would definitely recommend this programme for other entrepreneurs. You get to find out your skills, what skills you can improve on your business. I think information is power, and the more you know, the more you can develop your business.
