Ready to start!

Being an entrepreneur today is more popular than ever. In 2018 alone, there were over 168.000 people who started their own business in the Netherlands (according to the Dutch Chamber of Commerce), the lion's share consists of freelancers. But in addition to good prospects, self-development and perhaps the realisation of your dream, whether you are thinking of having your own bed & breakfast, want to work as a consultant or are busy launching the next ‘Facebook’, there is a lot to take care off. 

Because what responsibilities do you actually have, how are you going to make a difference, are you going to hire staff and what is the right price for your service or product? Are you looking for capital? Do your friends, family and parter support you? And how do you test your business model on real customers? Subjects that you will encounter when you accept the challenge of becoming an entrepreneur. 

Bernd tells about his own experiences; how he started as a 16-year-old at the time, which pitfalls can be avoided and how to deal with opportunities down the road. His most important '10 entrepreneurial lessons’ will be shared with you to increase your chance of success. Finally, he concludes with an interactive discussion to support his audience to turn their ambitions into reality. Are you ready?

This keynote was previously given at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce & Rabobank at various locations across the country.
