ESSENTIAL FINANCIAL AND MIND-SET FOR ENTREPRENEURS

"SO, YOU WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS - BUT ARE WORRIED THAT YOUR FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE AND MIND-SET WILL LET YOU DOWN?"

LISTEN, I know where you’re coming from!

At university I specialized in Accounting. I was always interested in owning my own business, but given a choice between entrepreneurship or performing exciting practical experiments in financial analysis, establishing sound integrated  system and business model to grow the business, I’m afraid the entrepreneurship won every time!

But when I left university and realized I wanted to be an entrepreneur, I knew I’d have to polish up my financial skill, wealth and mind-set. This course is the labour of my love from more than my 30 solid years of professional and personal experiences.  

So I explored, borrowed or bought every possibility to entrepreneurship I could lay my hands on, and spent many hours alone in studying, exploring and experiencing them whenever there are opportunities.

And even though nowadays I’m a successful freelance writer, trainer and entrepreneur, I’m still fascinated by financial know-how. I love nothing more than explaining in simple terms the intricacies of financial stories, wealth and mind-set to aspiring entrepreneurs.

...And that’s EXACTLY what I’ve done in my brand new training program ESSENTIAL FINANCE AND MINDSET FOR ENTREPRENEURS
