Management Workshop, Finance Courses, Marketing Seminars : For your Business Pursuit

We didn't expect our "entrepreneur mindset" post to bring in that many clicks, really. Entrepreneurship is tricky -- this just shows that many Singaporeans are willing to take challenges to achieve success. If you're one of those who've supported said post, you can call this as a thank you gift from us.

"Entrepreneurship makes you your own boss, but while this sounds great, the fact of the matter is, having no one but yourself to rely on can be scary. " We've said that in the post in spotlight. Taking on an Admin Assistant Job will help you prepare for entrepreneurship as it will teach you the basics of corporate management. But there's more to business preparation than that. There's the need to network too. Stories from experienced business people will give you hints on how you can run your business the smoothest way possible. And then there's also the need for you to attend special courses for the sake of acquiring "professional" and "legal" details.


Although you can already pick up plenty of valuable information by speaking with people with first hand experiences on entrepreneurship, attending skills trainings will mark a big difference in your business plan. It'll straighten your propositions out with time tested frameworks, to be more exact. Running a business has many dimension; it's an affair that requires knowledge on finance, management, marketing and public relations. Joining business courses is the closest thing to a college degree when it comes to mastering these dimensions.
