You also need a team to work with&#8230;\u201d Isaac stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIf you see somebody who can do something well, you need to join with them; you need a network of support; you need mentors. Your network of support can be a man who has the input you need\u2026and you need time\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged entrepreneurs not to get daunted and to have confidence in their judgement when people criticize their ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Isaac explained in business terms what is referred to as PEST analysis (Political, Economical, Social and Technological).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a management method whereby an organization, like a small business, can assess whether a major external factor or factors can influence the outcome of their business in order to make it more competitive in a market place,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say that if there is political instability, no matter how great one&#8217;s business idea is, it is going to have a risk factor to survive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn unstable political climate where you see things on CNN or on regional news will impact the market situation,\u201d he stated. \u201cBecause what will happen, you will have fewer people coming to your country and therefore your market side will shrink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With regard to the economic side, when any government whether in Barbados, in the US or in Dominica, put the infrastructure, put the market situation, for example, when 5 five-star hotels are being built in your country, what is actually happening, \u201cyou are actually bringing an export market on your doorstep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He identified crime as a factor as it relates to the social aspect of PEST pointing out that crimes such as theft will affect one\u2019s business.<\/p>\n<p>Technologically, he believes that Dominica is on the way, \u201ca leader in the region\u201d, with its telecommunication industry which is on par with any regional country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to think big and look for the opportunities where you can use technology,\u201d Isaac advised.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-240597\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kerry-ann-remie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kerry-ann-remie.jpg 639w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kerry-ann-remie-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kerry-ann-remie-528x480.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Certificates were presented to 37 young entrepreneurs, 26 females and 11 males, who attended the 3-day small business assistance facility (SBFF) training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese entrepreneurs have already established their business but took the opportunity to receive training to strengthen their skills, services and product offering,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Remie said 10 entrepreneurs &#8211; 5 males and 5 females &#8211; capitalized on the opportunity for additional training in quality, customer care and also received their certification.<\/p>\n<p>She said throughout Global Entrepreneurship WeeK, the DYBT and its entrepreneurs collaborated and participated in a number of activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining of trainers in business continuity, fitness beauty, first sewing training, entrepreneurship program STEP, by DYBT entrepreneur Kimara Matthew, EXPO for a 13 member delegation from the Clinton Global initiative Action Network, the Dominica State College, OAS Supported Sales and Marketing training, DYBT Entrepreneur Natasha Green of Little Canoe Business Exposition, NDFD 5th Creole in the Streets, DEXIA Strictly Local\u2026,\u201d Remie revealed.<\/p>\n<p>She said the Trust for the past 3 years has taken a new approach in strengthening the pool of DYBT mentors whose practical experiences and expertise can assist young and promising entrepreneurs to enhance their business acumen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minister for the Environment, Climate Resilience, Disaster Management and Urban Renewal, Joseph Isaac has advised young entrepreneurs that in order to have a viable business they must have a clear vision and mission.
