    Gary Guwe is one of the cofounders of the Business Development Society of Singapore. In the previous podcast, EIA 037, I had conversations his fellow cofounder Gunes Altungunes, and a couple of attendees. At the time Gary Guwe was out of the country and Gunes suggested that I return at a later event and speak with Gary.

    However, in this cast Gary and I don’t actually converse but we have a brief Fly-on-wall experience of the event organised by Gary and Gunes and titled Connections Over Coffee – Monthly Casual Networking, which is held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month .

    Gary plays a key role by running the event in a relaxed manner, encourages entrepreneurs to give a two minute introduction of themselves and the company they represent and gives his own advice.

    After Gary opens we move on to Joshua Chua (an experienced Sales Excellence Coach), Hussain Sayeed (In the third week of his startup), Arthi Ramakrishnan, (a recent arrival to Singapore from India) and finally, he ropes me in unexpectedly to present myself and the fact that I’m volunteering my services by recording the event.

  • Entrepreneurs Breakfast: How do I Market My Business?

    600_430143192

    The Entrepreneurs Breakfast (Shanghai) is the informal mentorship event organised by Entrepreneurs Asia Entrepreneurs are given about eight minutes to present their business, talk about your current challenges Other entrepreneurs will then ask questions, challenge the model, provide honest feedback and give suggestions on how to solve problems.

    Regular attendance allows entrepreneurs to become accountable for their progress.

    One of the most common themes discussed is; how do I market my business?

    If you are an entrepreneur with a low budget, I would suggest you look at the online tools available and you learn how to use them. Finding good, reliable and available technical people is very difficult generally in any developing market. They usually have their own projects or are being well paid by someone else.

    If your project doesn’t take off and you are between ideas you can always become one of the technical people for someone else.

    Listen to one entrepreneur get the Entrepreneur Breakfast treatment.
