Realizing My Dream

I hear a lot of people say that you could make a lot of money, if only you had the right idea. I had such an idea. I wanted to launch my own technology startup. But unfortunately, I had no clue how to go about doing it.

So there I was with my idea and no clue how to realize it. It was holding me back from obtaining my piece of the American dream.

I stumbled upon a brochure that introduced a program about finance, investment banking and -- most interesting thing to me -- ENTREPRENEURSHIP!

I applied and was eventually accepted. Still, I was quite afraid that I would not be able to successfully complete the program, because, for one, I had never done anything related to the business field. I knew nothing about all that stuff. I just had the idea, passion, some funding from my parents and desire to work really hard.

My fears proved unnecessary.

The program was designed in such ways that even I, a non business person could follow everything. The lectures were very useful for the launch of my technology startup. I learned from the experiences of successful entrepreneurs who had seen the many complications related to starting a new business, such as related to finance, legal, marketing and operational matters. I also gained the appropriate attitude and soft skills all successful businessmen should possess.

The program prepared me for and guided me to the profession I now hold. I am my own boss with my own business. Still with a lot of problems and challenges to solve non stop every day, but I feel I am much better prepared to cope with them. I couldn't be more thankful for the Swiss Finance Academy's help in realizing my dream.
