Overview of Business Start-up Course.
There are absolutely no limits on how or who can become an entrepreneur. You most certainly do not need a university degree or loads of money in the bank or even business experience to start something to become a great success. There is however a great need for building a strong business start-up plan and determination to see it through. The odds are that you are more likely to have a strong drive and a deep desire to be working for yourself, but possibly not the know how of what to do about building a business.
Gurugeoffrey says “I Inspire – Motivate – Educate” people by a life of experience.

I’m well known for my visualisation and my natural ability in motivating others. As I’m a true believer that you must have “walked the walk not just talked the walk”. It’s very important to lead from the front and with this I empower people to do the by releasing their full potential and draw out their own dormant natural abilities.
