TrepEdu Events kick off in March 2013
The first of a series of TrepEdu events kicks off on the 15th of March 2013 in Johannesburg. The TrepEdu Own Your Success Seminar is going to be the first of the series of these events. This event will provide a great atmosphere for entrepreneurs to learn from each other and network. It will take place at the Faculty Training Institute just off the Rivonia Off-ramp, in Witkoppen Road. Themed “Fail Your Way To Success”, this TrepEdu Seminar will provide a platform for entrepreneurs to engage on how failures can be turned into success. “Each failure has a success element to it and this seminar will provide some points on how entrepreneurs can capitalise on that” explained Sibusiso Nkosi, the host of the event and founder of the TrepEdu brand. “I started businesses since 2008 and I often gave up on a lot of ideas because I did not realise how some of the mistakes I made could have been capitalised on, but I later applied them and started a fast growing enterprise.” Sibusiso Nkosi is a business strategist and business blogger with an extensive experience on start ups. “We are going to have fun discussions on this TrepEdu kick-off event and I urge entrepreneurs to come” explained Sibusiso Nkosi. This event will boast two guest speakers that will bring an exciting element to the seminar. Paul Galvao, a certified business and life coach with over 25 years experience, will bring on his experience to unpack the subject matter and theme. Osman Nkosi, an entrepreneur and innovator, will also bring some strong elements to this event. This event was made possible by wonderful sponsors who share a common vision with the TrepEdu brand.
