Budgeting and financial statement analysis are essential financial skills for
business owners. I learnt how to develop a realistic budget and how adhering to it
might be the difference between success and failure for our company.
Confidentially Speaking
I learnt how to communicate without being hostile. It's difficult to exaggerate
the importance of speaking fluently as a future business owner.

I've built a mind that is still developing. As an aspiring entrepreneur, it's critical
to have a growth mindset.
9. implementation of my learning from my
professional experience.
I've learnt how to establish a business and grow into a successful entrepreneur,
which will help me to achieve my career aspirations. My most important career
goal and aspiration is to own a business. I want to start my own firm, and the
abilities connected with entrepreneurship may also help me flourish as a company
or organisation employee. Our desire to establish a business demonstrates our
determination and enthusiasm.
As my most essential career objective and aim is to form my own firm, I have
designed a business concept that is a technology business named Argo
Consulting based on my professional knowledge from Venture Creation Lab
programme. I will surely implement this business plan in the future and establish a
company.

specialises in high-tech products. The organisation provides a reliable, larger
