With the MBS He Is Now Ready to Impact His Community

Sierra Leone. My name is Mohamed Kanu, an Agribusiness Management graduate from Njala University and the Founder and Chairperson of Agro Businesses Empowerment and Environmental Development for Farmers and Entrepreneurs (ABEEDFE-SL). My journey into the world of agribusiness and community development has been fueled by a deep passion for empowering local farmers and entrepreneurs, especially in rural Sierra Leone. When I embarked on the MBS course, I was already driven by a vision to create lasting change in the agricultural sector. However, I recognized that to truly make an impact, I needed more than just passion—I needed advanced business acumen, leadership skills, and strategic insights. The MBS course provided exactly that.

Transformative Learning Experience: The MBS program challenged me to think critically and strategically. Courses in financial management, marketing, and organizational behavior were not just theoretical for me; they became tools that I immediately applied in leading ABEEDFE-SL. The skills I acquired helped me navigate the complexities of managing a diverse team and multiple projects within our divisional groups like Bomkiri Young Agricultural Farmers Association, ABEED Youth Farmers Association, and ABEED Petifu Farmers Association. One of the most significant impacts of the MBS course was in the area of strategic planning. I learned to design and implement sustainable business models that aligned with our mission of empowering local farmers. The knowledge gained has enabled me to guide our organization toward greater efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately expanding our reach and impact.

Leadership and Networking: Beyond the academic knowledge, the MBS course also offered a platform for networking with like-minded professionals and experts in the field. These connections have been invaluable in sharing ideas, learning from others’ experiences, and finding collaborative opportunities that have furthered the goals of ABEEDFE-SL. The course also refined my leadership approach, emphasizing the importance of ethical leadership and social responsibility. This has been crucial in ensuring that our work at ABEEDFE-SL not only drives economic growth but also fosters environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Impact on ABEEDFE-SL: Since completing the MBS course, ABEEDFE-SL has grown significantly. We’ve been able to launch new initiatives, secure funding, and build stronger partnerships with local and international organizations. The knowledge and skills I gained have empowered me to lead with confidence, knowing that our strategies are sound and our operations are impactful.In conclusion, the MBS course has been a pivotal experience in my professional journey. It has equipped me with the tools to not only envision change but to actively create it. As I continue to lead ABEEDFE-SL, I remain committed to using what I’ve learned to empower farmers and entrepreneurs across Sierra Leone, fostering a future where agriculture thrives, and communities prosper.

Finding Satisfaction and Self-Reliance in Doing What She Loves

Mozambique. I’m Rosa Eulália Angelina de Lurdes, a successful entrepreneur! I started my career as an entrepreneur in the confectionery business and, with the losses I was making and no profits, I decided to change my business area. That’s when I started studying crochet, and at the same time I started watching MBS videos about the training courses that were offered. I liked it and decided to take the MBS course. It was the best option for me.

Like Crumbs on a Path, MBS Principles Lead to Self-Reliance

Costa Rica. My name is Diego. My story at this point in life lies in seeking and improving the economic situation that I was facing several years ago that included being at the financial limit to meet the basic needs of the home, electricity, water, food, putting my girls in school and also getting my own education; sometimes it included health and work situations. Also another factor is paying for the support of my eldest daughter who did not live with me. Because of this I was looking for an extra income to cope with these types of situations.

Thanks to this course, I now have the necessary skills and knowledge to better manage my business.I learned important principles such as the 6Ps of Business that will enable me to make my business profitable and prosper.

Passion Plus MBS Knowledge Needed for a Profitable Business

Kenya. My name is Simon, and I am an entrepreneur with a passion for sustainability. After finishing my high school education, I worked in various roles that helped me develop essential skills in finance and management. However, I always felt a calling towards creating a business that not only generated profit but also contributed positively to the environment.

This desire led me to start a business focused on reusable bags. I saw a significant opportunity in the market as more people became aware of the environmental impact of single-use plastics. Despite my enthusiasm, I quickly realized that turning a good idea into a successful business required more than just passion. It required structured knowledge, strategic planning, and effective execution. That’s when I discovered the Master of Business in the Streets (MBS) course. The MBS course has been a game-changer for me. Here’s how it has impacted my life: Goal Setting and Achievement: The course taught me the importance of setting measurable, motivating, and specific goals. For instance, instead of a vague goal to “increase sales,” I set a goal to “increase my sales of reusable bags by 5% this month by attending local farmers’ markets.” This clarity helped me focus my efforts and track my progress effectively. Business Planning: Creating a comprehensive business plan was one of the most valuable exercises. I defined the mission, values, and products of my business. This structured approach helped me understand my business better and communicate its value to others. The process of formalizing my business, including setting up a budget and income statements, provided me with a clear financial roadmap. Money Management: The financial management sections of the course were incredibly beneficial. I learned how to create personal and business budgets, maintain an income and expense log, and prepare income statements. These tools have enabled me to keep track of my finances meticulously, ensuring that I am aware of my cash flow and profitability at all times. Community Involvement: The course emphasized the importance of giving back to the community. I organized a community service project, where I provided free reusable bags to local farmers’ markets. This initiative not only benefited the community but also helped build my brand’s reputation. Action Steps and Accountability: Regularly setting and reviewing commitments in areas such as business development, home quality of life, and money management kept me accountable. Reporting on my progress at the beginning of each unit ensured that I stayed on track and made continuous improvements. Profitability and Growth: By focusing on key areas such as marketing, cost management, and product diversification, I have been able to increase my sales and profitability. For example, I introduced new product lines and optimized my advertising strategies, which resulted in higher revenue and customer satisfaction. In summary, the MBS course has provided me with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take my business to the next level. It has helped me turn my passion into a profitable venture and set me on a path towards sustainable growth. I am now better equipped to handle the challenges of entrepreneurship and am excited about the future of my reusable bags business.

Her Business Now Runs Efficiently and Professionally

Mozambique. Imaculada da Conceição: Over the years, I’ve always been involved in different areas of business, but I confess that I didn’t always follow best practices when managing my activities. Before attending the MBS course, I didn’t keep proper records and didn’t keep strict control of my business operations. There was no organized documentation, and I often made decisions based on assumptions or day-to-day experience.
