Just starting up in business or planning to? Congratulations on becoming an aspiring entrepreneur. I wish you great success. Getting off to a good start is critically important and this is dependent on sound preparation. I cannot emphasise this too strongly.

Inadequate understanding of the chosen field of business and an underestimation of the size and nature of the resources required often trip up the budding entrepreneur.

Above all - relationships with people, especially business partners and investors can make or break a fledgling enterprise.

These matters should be fully understood and addressed before making the final commitment to go ahead.

My aim is to familiarise you with how business works in practice, how to assess the viability of your venture and where the major risks lie. My approach is not academic. It is based on over 40 years experience in dealing with the practical realities of the business world, which are faced by new ventures. If you want to improve your chances of success then read on.

Through the Entrepreneur Business School I offer two things to those of you who want to build a great enterprise:

a new venture assessment workshop called the Ring-of-Success™

my services as a mentor to businesses in the technology domain

Gain, in two days, the distilled essence of over 40 years industrial experience and business development.
