On October 6th, I took part to the “Presenting entrepreneurial opportunities specific to the Bucharest-Ilfov area” seminar, held by Extreme Training.
The seminar was part of the Business Startup project.
I also made some pictures at the event:

Some thoughts I jotted down:
– How to remember names? Associate a person’s name with an object;
– Whenever presenting yourself, you should emphasize the positive aspects, rather than the negative ones;
– If something fails to work, you should reinvent yourself;
– Any business has its risks;
– Nothing is for granted;
– You must accept the risk that a business may not work;
What were the participants’ expectations? Participants at the event wanted to receive some of these:
