Firstly I’d like to say WOW!

In a space of a month I got to experience how it feels like running a business, I got to learn how to skillfully negotiate a good contract, keep records, know when to increase prices, know when to keep them at a  constant price and how to save. When I think of this course I then see how they made it relate to life as a whole especially the “life cards” but overall I should say it was a fun and exciting learning experience. I would now surely advise someone to take it, it will surely benefit them.

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.

I learned how to invest money and how to use business money. It is very important to know how much money you need to start a business and how much will spend.

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 know that in everything that I am doing in my business I must save money and I must read my expenses so that I must know how much I did make and my expense and saving. Now I can save money or put my money in the bank. I know that I use money so I have to count everything I am using in my business.

I have learnt the five steps of business, which are planning, purchasing, adding value selling and analysing. I have also learnt on advertising and that I need to do my business where more people pass and are able to view my products. I have benefited a lot from this training, because I will be able to plan well now, to know what type of customers I need to have and what I should spend and save.

I have benefitted a lot on this course. I have been challenged to start my own business using the small amount I will be having. Business is starting from small then you grow. I also learnt how to manage the business that is keeping the journal (Business, Savings and Expenses). I now know how to account every money I use in the business, my record keeping has been perfected. I am now very good at negotiating. It was a good course. I have learnt a lot. Thanks.

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.

Jomo –

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

 

Arbenita –

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.
