We judge ourselves constantly, without us realising.
We used to dream big when we were young. As we grow, life and reality seems to get in our way.
Those who pursued their dreams seem enviable. However, if we take a closer look, they MADE A CHOICE, and committed to make it happen.
We’ve been trained to lead others, but seldom to lead our own selves.

Building good habits, changing mindsets, understanding our cognitive level including our capacity in handling complexity, is part and puzzle of building our mental muscles to become an entrepreneur.
Here, we’ve compiled the highly commended assessment and practical tools to get you ready for this excitingly long journey of entrepreneurship!
