Editor, this statement, that “You don’t need money, but brains to start a business,” is nothing other than the sweet rhetoric from most presenters who want to impress their audiences. You, of course, surely need money and brains to start a business. The two go hand in hand.
Editor,
This statement, that "You don’t need money, but brains to start a business,” is nothing other than the sweet rhetoric from most presenters who want to impress their audiences. You, of course, surely need money and brains to start a business. The two go hand in hand.
How can an idea be translated into a business "venture” if there is no financial support?
Having a good project proposal is not a guarantee that one will easily have access to the so-called business start-up loan facilities. A few people have succeeded, but the majority are crying out loud. This is a fact most of the official statements are not pointing out.
Everywhere, everybody is painting a perfect picture, but the reality on the ground is totally different. And they keep blaming the youth for not coming up with "real business” ideas. Thank you.
