Skills and involvement in entreprenueship

We had only been here for a month and few weeks at NBIC,everything has been going quite well.I would say its been the best place I had been in years.

I have gained so much knowledge from the business or entrepreneurship week.we started of on how to start up your own business,idea creation,target market and the costs involved.One thing that I understood very well was that you can not start off a business that would run successfully without running down or crushing some where along the line.There must be a few failures in the business in order for it to be highly successful  .We also touched on a few marketing strategies and the reasons why people market their products,in order for you to do this you should get them talking, one would say "that's the reason why they invented Facebook and twitter.social networking is the best way to market your products.

During the last week we focused on a topic which is Train the Trainer.Here we did all the do's and don't s when you are presenting.This was highly effective.Most important always wear official when your presenting.

Entrepreneurship circle

The main idea of this Entrepreneurship circle was to give information to the entrepreneurs on how the Ministry of Trade and Industry help the entrepreneurs under the SME's support program.
They offer site and premises development, Equipment aid scheme, this are some of the support programme's offered by the Ministry of trade and industry.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry urges all the entrepreneurs that already have operating unregistered businesses to come forward and register their business as this helps with updating the statics of how much does the SME's contribute to the countries economy. 
There is a high season and low season for sme´s certification. The high season is when the tenders comes out.
The sme`s certification advantage is mainly for tenders.
Aim of entrepreneur circle is not only to raise concern but to give you platform like this ones to address or raise them to the right people.

These are some of the reply to questions from the audience

SCAMPER model workshop at NBIC

The Scamper model what we started our day off with.Revolving around an abject ,modifying it adding new features on it .By doing all this you will have to substitute a few features combine objects together amplify it and minify then put to other use ,eliminating and then rearranging...Awesome workshop.

That's not all we did we also did about four projects this was fun.Had to be in groups so we communicate with each other as they say "two heads are better then one".We first started of with the scamper model then had to identify the problems facing on line businesses,created businesses based on the problems we identified .Last but not least we where on micro-screening.The presenter was great he tried to meet us half way which he did.
