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.

It also taught me that when you are in business – how to treat your customer, how to save money in the bank and the way to use money.

For this course, I learn how to run a business and to save money, even to negotiation to the customer. Negotiate a good deal because when you run a business you have to know good and bad prices. This term is very good because we also know how to plan our business. Before you buy you have to plan first. Then when you finish to plan you start to buy material. Then you start your business. It is what I’m learn.

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 have learnt in this business training things that I didn’t know before. For example how to keep records and make contracts, as well as saving, buying and selling.  We thank our teacher and translator for their good insight.

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.

Bulekwa –

Also I have learnt the importance of keeping records, and consulting when making decisions.

Lucas –

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.

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.

Franklyn –

Though I am a businessperson, I have learnt and improved on my record keeping. The 4 P’s where very helpful in marketing: products, place, promotion and price. I also realised that some people that we (Business for transformation – B4T) help with loans need this training especially start ups and I wish to be one of the trainers to that I can be able to offer this training.
