you their perspectives. More importantly, you would realize along
the way that, money, as normally assumed, is not the key success factor
for any business, and a small amount can go a long way at the Start-up
stage. |

I have started my business. Is this course for me?
|
| A. |
Yes, very much. In running your own business, you must have felt

Program provides you the knowledge, skills and attitude for managing
a growing Start-up, the mentoring to handle real life problems,
and access to the entrepreneurial network.
