The workshop was an eye-opener. I certainly learnt a lot on how to manage a business. It is one of the best business trainings that exists, and simply because it is so practical.

I have learned that you don’t have to wait for a lot of money to start a business, even a small money can start. I’ve learned also to be careful of my plans about business, like to put records every time if the money go in and out. I did not know how to calculate money for business, expenses and savings but I do now. I’ve learned to sign a contract always if I make an agreement with someone about business. I also have learned that treating customers nice is the most essential thing in business. You don’t always agree in business.

Having learned theory at school,

·         the training focuses a lot on practicals. It does make it easier to start a business to run it.

·         It focusses on the most important factors of business:

o   Invest in your business

o   Reduce you expenses

o   Save for your business

·         One can take ownership, have control of your business, know what is happening and be accountable

·         I can definitely refer everyone to do it Indeed, I do not regret attending it, it is an investment.

·         Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

·         I can also be called in if there are new students to show them I am a living proof of BES.

I really enjoyed the training even though it was a bit hard for me to do all the calculation. This training helped a lot on the budgeting part (business, domestic, and saving)

I like the training because it taught me the advantages and disadvantages of business. It also gave me an experience in business (in the practical time).

I like the training because it is fun and wonderful.

It taught me more things on how to run your business. That you must not keep your money at home, and to be wise in each and everything you do.

This course seemed good. Our teacher explained things to us very well and we understood well enough.

It takes the mystery out of business It has a good level of competition and energy in the training as it is a game-style programme.

This training was a great help to me because I started a business before and it failed. So with Epic Solutions I learnt about the risk of business, and about “LifeCards” which taught things that happen in real life. Epic Solutions taught me a lot about planning and record-keeping. I realise that part of why my business failed before was because I was not doing those things. I also learnt that if things don’t work out then try an alternative. Really of you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

I learned about the Business Cycle.  There are 3 things that I understood during the training: Business capital, savings & home expenses budgeting. We have to budget and we have to put this into account when planning the customers, price & the place. With marketing I learnt that you should know the manufacturing price and the demand of your customers. The selling place can at home or in the market. But it is best at home when you are starting as you save on rent.In your business you have to persevere, to love your customers and also to fear God.  Also it is important that the business must help all the people. Every day you must keep the records and at the end do the analysis of your business.

The B.E.S.T. training is priceless. I love working in a business environment and the things I learnt in this course has prone to be vital, not just for me, but for any individual who desires to use his/her money more wisely and to be a good steward of it. This course reminded me about the importance of recording everything you buy and sell and the importance of keeping receipts. I wish this course could be offered to scholars as I believe it will be a huge benefit in their lives and aid them in becoming independent earlier in their lives and think beyond the short-term ideas of just spending.
