"Through BPN, I understood that the most important thing about being an entrepreneur is adding value to your community. You are adding value to your employees, adding value to your customers and adding to the country as a whole."

"Before joining BPN, I rarely controlled my financial statements. Now I am able to analyse the financial status of my business. I manage to save and reinvest the profit in my business."

"When I left my first BPN training, I felt more like a leader. I gained a clear view on how my business should look like and how it should be run. My husband noticed and told me, ‘you are a different person’."

"It is important for me to be part of the generation that creates employment and gives people jobs, so that they can take care of their families. I pay taxes. I am part of the economy. I feel very proud."

"One of the most important lessons I learned from BPN is to look at problems and to know that there are opportunities hidden in them. There was a time when my carpentry was flooded with rain water. I looked at the mess and said: 'this is going to be our showroom'. And it became our showroom!"
