About the Program

The SeEP  Program is a unique ACTIVEclassTM compliant practical, experience-based  Serial Entrepreneurship  NPQTM Program based on the principle of impacting entrepreneurial SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how) through active engagement and practice.

A Serial Entrepreneur is someone who starts multiple businesses. They are entrepreneurs who start new businesses one after the other and can repeatedly turn creative ideas into successful businesses. Serial Entrepreneurs may set up, build, sell, or step back from one business before starting another, or they may set up and run multiple businesses simultaneously, delegating leadership roles to other people. For example, a serial entrepreneur might start a business venture, build and grow that business for a few years, then sell it and start a new business because they had another great viable business idea. Serial entrepreneurs are people who can repeatedly turn creative ideas into successful businesses.

This NPQTM Program is designed to provide intensive entrepreneurial immersion training in Serial Entrepreneurship SEEKTM  development for the next generation of Serial Entrepreneurs setting up and building their Business Enterprises in the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) Economy (FIRETM).

As an NPQTM program, the SeEP is not a paper qualification (certificate/diploma) based program where participants work towards getting a paper qualification at the end of the Program through taking and passing required course assignments, tests, or exams and getting grades for them. Your qualification on the SeEP is Your  Startup Businesses.

 The expectation is that the Serial Entrepreneurs would have conceived the idea for some of their Startup Businesses before enrolling on the SeEP  Program and may have either gone ahead to set up one or two of these  Businesses prior to joining the Program or have the intention to set up one during the Program or after completing the Program.

This is an NPQTM (No Paper Qualification) Program

The SeEP is targeted at Already-in-Business Serial Entrepreneurs or Prospective Serial Entrepreneurs yet to commence Business and aspiring to start their Startup Business as a Founder or Co-Founder and get into Business.

The SeEP Program is ACTIVEclass compliant whereby the instructional delivery approach is designed to facilitate, support, and empower the active engagement of the Program Participants (Learners) in the process of developing and acquiring their Program-specific SEEK
The ACTIVEclass philosophy underlying SeEP is based on a paraphrased quote partially attributable to Confucius, the Chinese Philosopher: “Tell Me, and I Forget; Teach Me, and I May Remember; Involve Me, and I Learn; (Get Me To Do It and I will Know It)”.
The SeEPProgram, therefore, lays ZERO emphasis on the Telling (Tell Me and I Forget), LESS emphasis on Teaching (Teach Me and I May Remember), MAJOR emphasis on Involving (Involve Me and I Learn), and MAXIMUM emphasis on Getting TO DO IT (Get Me To Do It and I will Know It)) aspects in delivering the Modules of the Program.

The LKDATM– Outcome ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Program Delivery

The ACTIVEclass Mode of Delivery of SeEPlays less emphasis on teaching the Participants details of the entrepreneurial SEEK. Rather they are encouraged and empowered to acquire the relevant entrepreneurial SEEK through the innovative LKDA (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) approach practiced through the active engagement of Learners in a Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) process.
ACTIVEclass Learners/Participants on SeEPare therefore encouraged and empowered to play an active-engagement role in contributing to their entrepreneurial SEEK development and acquisition process through actively engaging in the Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based Instructor-prescribed and Learner-Self-prescribed learner-initiative- intensity-activeness LKDA-Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).
SeEP is, therefore, a personal initiative intensity commitment (PIIC)-based ACTIVEclass Program that expects its Participants to take full responsibility for their Learning, Knowing, Doing, and Acquiring (LKDA) Outcomes relating to acquiring their entrepreneurial SEEK through activity-based Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD).
Already-in-Business and Prospective Future Entrepreneurs enrolled in this intensive and practical ACTIVEclassTM Entrepreneurship Program are encouraged and empowered to use their creative capabilities and abilities to create and contribute to the entrepreneurial SEEKTM they want and seek to acquire through active engagement Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based approach. The SeEP Program is therefore designed to prepare, empower and encourage its Participants and Alumni to pursue the path of being job and wealth creators rather than job seekers.

The SeEP Program Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements on the SeEP  Program, except that one is expected to have a burning desire and the determination to become an Entrepreneur and is willing to embrace the entrepreneurial mindset to put in the required efforts to be the Founder or Co-Founder of a Business Enterprise or Corporation. One is also expected to adopt the personal initiative intensity commitment (PIICTM) active engagement  Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based (LKDATM) Outcome approach to Learn, Do, Know, and Acquire the requisite entrepreneurial SEEKTM to set-up, manage, build and grow their Business in the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) Economy (FIRETM).

Business Background or Qualifications

Those with some entrepreneurial or business background or qualifications and those with some prior entrepreneurial or business work experience in any of the fields of Business who aspire to become Serial Entrepreneurs running the Business they Founded or Co-Founded may have some headstart on the SeEP  Program.

Without Business Background or Qualifications

However, those without entrepreneurial or business backgrounds or qualifications and others without prior entrepreneurial or business work experience can still catch up on their entrepreneurial SEEKTM without difficulty on the SeEP  Program and become successful Serial Entrepreneurs. The expectation is that what they lack on the entrepreneurial business background qualification or work experience side can be picked up easily on their SeEP  Entrepreneurship Journey and beyond.

 

 

The Business world is littered with successful Serial Entrepreneurs running Businesses that they Founded employing knowledgeable and experienced Business expertise without having a Business background. Famous examples of Serial Entrepreneurs who started their entrepreneurial journey without a background in entrepreneurship or business include Elon Musk, who began his entrepreneurship career with Zip2, a searchable business directory he founded in 1995, then sold it four times years later for $307 million. Musk then founded PayPal, which he sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. Musk is also associated with SpaceX, Tesla Motors, and other successful Businesses.

Another famous Serial Entrepreneur who started without an entrepreneurial or business background is Sir Richard Branson. He started as a serial entrepreneur early when he was 20 years old in the 1970s when he founded a Student Magazine and a Mail-order Record Business. He from there Founded over fifty Businesses with more than 200 distinct subsidiaries over the years managed under his Virgin Group of Companies- Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Clothing, Virgin Music, Virgin Coke, and Virgin Rail, among others. He is also involved in several not-for-profit ventures under his Foundation.  

Oprah Winfrey, another famous Serial Entrepreneur, started her Serial Entrepreneur journey without having an entrepreneurial or business background. She founded in 1986 Harpo Productions, Inc., which owned the rights to “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She also co-founded Oxygen, a cable station, and launched the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in 2008, where she produces and stars in multiple TV shows and movies. She also founded a company that publishes The Oprah Magazine and has authored several books.

Another famous Serial Entrepreneur who started without entrepreneurship or business background is Andreas von Bechtolsheim, one of the original co-founders of Sun Microsystems, established in the 1980s. He also Founded Granite Systems in 1995 to manufacture network switches, a company he later sold to Cisco Systems for $220 million within a year. Bechtolsheim was one of the first investors in Google, investing $100,000 in 1998 before it was even established as a company. He also Founded a server technology company named Kealia in 2001, sold it to Sun Microsystems in 2004 and helped cofound Arista Networks in 2005.

So, we have you covered if you belong to the category of those potential future Serial Entrepreneurs who want to be successful Entrepreneurs in the 4IR Economy without the requisite entrepreneurial background or work experience to start with. 

 

By all means, Join Us and succeed on the SeEP   Program.
