Business:Tony Elumelu entrepreneurship program 2017

Hello again,
I know I said I won't be regular here but I remember also saying i'd be quick to share opportunities that will benefit my readers. One of such is the Tony Elumelu entrepreneurship program. I benefited from this last year and I'm grateful to God for the opportunity to be trained, mentored and have capital support.
Caveat:
This is not for you if you are not ready to put in time and effort to learn, if your business is more than 3 years old and if you are not willing to support your idea with your own money also (it's a seed capital, not all you will ever need).

The Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme (TEEP) is a holistic 12 month programme that will occur every year, for the next decade.  This means that for the next 10 years, our #AfricanEntrepreneurs stand a chance at making their ideas for transforming Africa come to fruition!

Each programme cycle begins with APPLICATIONS from January 1st until March 1st.  The application portal opens and ushers in a new year for the programme and for our prospective start-ups.

We will accept applications from all across the continent, from various sectors including but not limited to;

Agriculture
ICT
Housing
Media
Education
Transportation
Textiles
Manufacturing

Our terms and conditions can give you an idea of what businesses are NOT eligible to apply.

Selection of TEEP start-ups takes place in the month of March.  From thousands of applications, the Tony Elumelu Foundation, along with our independent expert Selection Committee will select the 1000 BEST applicants to join the programme as certified #TEEP Start-ups.

Start-ups receive their first round of non-returnable $5000 or the local currency equivalent as seed capital investment at the end of the Boot-camp and TEF Entrepreneurship Forum.

My Figure 8, 2017, and what to expect.

Wow!
It's a new year already? A lot went down and up last year that I can only thank God. Like I said in my last post, my business has transitioned from Bee's Signatures beauty into My Figure 8 wellness and events to accommodate the new additions as the former name was registered strictly for Beauty services.

That said, my new company will be hosting monthly webinars where we would either discuss fitness, nutrition, or beauty, or have live interviews with experts as well as everyday women on wellness related topics.

The first of these came up today Friday, 6th of January by 12 noon Nigerian time.

You can watch it up there.

I discussed ways we can gradually introduce healthy feeding to our family.

Also, in the month of January, we will be hosting women in Ibadan to a cocktails, free makeup training and shopping event. If you would like to be a part of the event as a guest or as a vendor (to display your goods or services), please give me a call on 07031609253.

I will not be as regular as i used to be here, because I will also be running the official blog with my other contributors, but i'll try my best to keep you updated on anything that i think will be of benefit to you my dear reader.

Have a year filled with unlimited success.
God bless you
