I have an idea! I have an idea!! Good, transcript it to make sense in the sittings of investors. No one will have time to read through a long journal in the name of a proposal or business blueprint. If you cannot in few words describe what a bird is without talking of feathers, beaks, claws and Wings, you may fail your bio examinations; as simple as that.
Day3 into the training and every session has been a driller. I have had to sacrifice and squeeze in the time just to meet up. The first session for the class was timingly wonderful but not the same as the last two days. The link was sent by 7:50PM as promised and at dot 8:00PM, the session was on. Day2 saw us kickstarting by 8:30PM although the coordinator was there at about 8:10PM. The invited facilitator had some delays joining.
It was much later yesterday as we Kickstarted I think around 8:40PM or so and as we speak today, a message was dropped some minutes to 8:00 that we will be starting the session by 9:PM. I know it had not been easy with our coordinator. I give him a thumbs up for also squeezing in himself to meet up with this training. He has been attending this session from his office right from Day1, this means he closes office and heads home late.

On my own side, the delay is altering my daily target. I have a lot of jobs to pull out from the office. One of the ways to start your work day prepared is getting to bed at an appropriate time. Our focused industry is energy draining. This is not sitting down on a PC from morning till evening. There are moments of standing ovation (when focus is on the Laundry section or trying to cut out a fabric for sewing).
It can also be a long sitting time when trying to put fabrics together with the sewing machines. The relief will come when there is enough working force which will also be sustained by an expanded customer base. So yes, I need this training to build my capacity, understand new markets and ways to take advantage of it.

Speaking of that, yesterday's session was a talk on how to pitch a good proposal. Funding is very vital to business, strategizing to raise capital is never a bad idea. loans, grants, investors or whatever opportunity may come, you will have to play your part also. Let's be realistic, no one just bundles money and throws it into a project. Why should you be funded?
This is a big question that goes into what you are selling, how it solves a problem, how demanding is the problem as well as how it converts to profit. A good project may sound good but can you even be trusted with money to start with?
In conclusion, to be an entrepreneur, you will have to live it out; paperwork, field work and attitude put together. The art of pitching a good proposal is key if you want to get attention. Your business vision may be good to your hearing but can you convince someone else to invest? If not, then there still remains a lot of work to be done. Any business that cannot attract external investment/opportunities proves to be local and flawed.
