The training of the Missional Business Center consists of two parts; the ‘Generate Your Business Idea’ and the ‘Start Your Business Training”.
Generate Your Business Idea Training
A good business starts with a good business idea. Before you can start a business you need to have a clear idea of the sort of business you want to run. A business idea is a short and precise description of the basic operations of an intended business.
Your business idea will tell you:
- resources from nature,
- people’s abilities and skills,
- institutions,
- industries,
- import substitution,
- publications,
- trade fairs and exhibitions.
If you are motivated for starting a business and positive about your generated business idea(s), you can sign up for the Start Your Business Training.
