A Global Movement For Entrepreneurship - IndieGogo Campaign

As a growing entrepreneur, I was very interested when I found out about the Billion Entrepreneurs movement and watched the preview of the movie. The objective of this global movement is to plant the seed of entrepreneurship into multiple generations and re-define the word, “entrepreneurship” to mean, “Taking responsibility for outcomes." This ultimately means taking responsibility for one’s life and current situation and I'm all for that.

Do You Want to Know More about the SURE-P Graduate Internship Scheme? I Did.

Those who have been following my entrepreneurial endeavors know I applied for the YOUWIN grant last year. I did not win, and so funds remain tight for my fledgling business. On it appears there's another way I can obtain support from the government, that is in the area of employees, who will be paid by the government. No, this is not the NYSC, but something similar.

Building Entrepreneurs Today - Third Edition Applications

I just submitted my application for the YOUWIN program yesterday. It was gruelling, but I'm glad I stuck through with it, and I am really wishing I scale through. For others like me who are interested in starting small businesses and need initial startup capital, this is another opportunity.
