“I wish I could have been introduced to this training earlier. I could have made gradual changes to my previous project. I had started it straightforwardly and only noticed mistakes after a lot of costs had already been incurred. Now, I am going to try this approach, and I’m sure it will lead to a lot of positive changes.”

We are delighted to have participated in this two-day training. We learned the importance of strong branding—without it, a business can decline. Additionally, we gained valuable knowledge about Intellectual Property (IP). We realised that running any business without considering IP is unwise, as its benefits far outweigh the risks.”

From the three sessions I learned to live your business. Work, walk, talk, and act in responsible ways to become everything that reflects your business. Thank you so much, I have now learned how to register my business and idea. I have learned that collaboration is a new way to compete. I learned that there are many ways or types of businesses to start, even with a small amount of capital.

I have been able to utilize a lot of lessons that I learned to grow my business (ULLY’S CROCHET), especially the Human-Centered Design in creating new products and the Strategic Impact Communication session which has helped me to communicate with my customers and deliver the intended message about what my brand does. On top of all that, the BRELA session helped me and now I have registered my business name and become an officially known brand.
