Announcing the Shape Your Idea seminar

Posted by neil on May 21, 2009 in seminars | 0 comments

Hello, I’m Neil Moodley. Luke has kindly allowed me a guest spot on his excellent blog to tell you about a new project I have recently launched.

I have been working on a new seminar for people who want to take the first tentative steps to being their own boss and run their own small or micro business, but are worried about the risks and uncertainty involved.

I’ve certainly faced these worries myself and have found, through experience, discussion and education in the MBA programme, that there are concrete, actionable steps you can take to reduce those risks and clarify much of that uncertainty.

That’s why I have created a 2-hour seminar, aimed at giving people the confidence to take that first step. And where does that journey begin? With the idea, of course!

This low-cost, high-value seminar, Shape Your Idea: How to Find a Business Idea and Tell if it’s a Good One, will give attendees the tools and knowledge to be able to find ideas, assess and refine those ideas, value those ideas and start planning the execution of those ideas.

So if you find yourself in those uncertain shoes, you can find out more here, or register a place now. You never know, it might change your life!
