Today, Firstwatch Whisky announced the launch of an initiative set to empower everyday entrepreneurs. One hundred selected entrepreneurs will win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a certified online business course valued at R25 000 each.
You know you can do more with your life but taking that first step isn’t easy. In our post-COVID world, with even fewer jobs and a faltering economy, it’s even more daunting to put those entrepreneurial ideas into motion. There are so many questions:
- Where do I start?
- What do I need to know?
- How long before I can start seeing my dreams come true?
- How can my dreams benefit my community?
Imagine, though, that you could be the one to create jobs in your community. What a difference you could make, not just to your and your family’s life but to the people you see daily, waiting for a chance to earn a living.
Making it happen
First, you need to have a dream, and then you need to know how to turn your ideas into a successful business. Hopefully enjoying the ride doing it. Firstwatch Whisky understands that journey and what it takes to turn your visions into reality, so it is offering this incredible opportunity.
How you can be a winner
Anyone from SMEs to start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs can enter, but only 100 participants will be chosen. At the end of this valuable course, the 10 top students will be selected for six months of ongoing mentorship following the completion of their course – for which there can be no price tag attached.
According to Pierre van der Westhuizen, National Brand Manager of Firstwatch Whisky, “We’re thrilled to be able to offer that first step along the road for those entrepreneurs just waiting to make their mark on the business world. We know they will not just become business leaders but also invaluable in their communities.”
What makes a future entrepreneur?
“We’re looking for those who already have what it takes – a huge dose of energy, drive and passion for driving their dreams. We want people who can take their everyday skills and experience together with their current resources and networks, successes and perhaps failures, to see and reach the big picture,” continues van der Westhuizen.
What does a winner look like?
Stand in front of a mirror, and what do you see? Yourself! You or your small company are who Firstwatch Whisky is looking for – with just one thing – a belief that you can make it, whatever the odds. From catering to building to grooming and retail, whatever your dream, you must make that first move.
What you will learn
Dreams will only stay dreams if the knowledge is not there. This online course will take you through all the steps needed to turn your idea or small business into a real business opportunity. From finding your purpose to marketing, sales, finances, leadership and gaining investment, these course modules, with online and live sessions with facilitators can change your life.
