The seminar was focused on practical aspects of running a business and included the following issues:
| How to start your own business? How to keep it up and running? Why all obvious things are not so obvious while doing business? And how come that running through the nettles can also be motivating? Want to be your own boss? Be aware that you will also be your own employee! |
