“The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) have launched the TEF – UNDP Youth Entrepreneurship Programme to empower an additional 100,000 young African entrepreneurs over the next 10 years with seed capital, business management training and mentoring.”
See details in the preview I’ve posted below the following preamble.
In 2013, I got paid 2,500 Euros by a European Union funded NGO to write a 4,000 word case study paper about the use of my Excel-VB driven Livestock Ration Formulator software by farm CEOs within and outside Africa.
Click here to read the true story as I narrated it, after I got paid.
Looking back, I still recall that very few, if at all any persons that I told, in my personal network of contacts, friends or relatives expressed any open belief that I would actually get paid that money.
Indeed, I heard through the grapevine, that some relatives cynically stated that I was fooling myself and counting my eggs before they were hatched – because of the way I spoke about it. For me, I left no room for doubt in my mind and diligently did all that was necessary to the needed field survey done, and the report written.
All through the period I was engaged in working to submit the paper, I maintained an attitude of blind and unquestioning faith driven by hard work, determination and persistence – and it eventually paid off. [TIP: Back in 2013, One Euro exchanged for N225.0 naira – so you do the math to appreciate just how much that payment I got came to.]
My Positive Mental Attitude was the key to my success with regard the above achievement – and it has continued to help me overcome various visitations of adversity to grow my brand till this day.
I recommend you adopt a similar attitude in pursuing your dreams in business. Let no one tell you what you can or cannot do.
And this becomes relevant to the announcement I reproduce below, because the work to be done to submit a successful application to the TEF-UNDP program will not be easy.
But if you do it right, you would be thousands of dollars richer, with nothing to pay back, and the opportunity to invest all that money into developing and implementing your unique business ides.
Read the details of the program below and click the link provided to learn more, and then follow the instructions to prepare and submit your application.
Good luck!
