Running your own business can be a dream, a route to independence and a way out of poverty. But successful entrepreneurship isn’t easy, without the right skills and knowledge. An ILO programme - Start and Improve your Business (SIYB) – is helping to bridge that gap and has already helped tens of millions of people become entrepreneurs. Luisa Iachan, ILO Technical Officer on Inclusive Markets and Entrepreneurship Promotion, and South African entrepreneur and SIYB graduate Ngoakwana Seleka share their experiences and knowledge.
