Chirara launches book on entrepreneurship

SELEBI-PHIKWE: A founding member of Selebi-Phikwe Arts and Culture Club Edwin Chirara has released a book titled Entrepreneurship - Secrets to a Breakthrough, with a view to giving tips on how one can combat economic hardships.

The book, which was printed in the United States of America (US), is already on sale. He says that with the current global economic crunch high job losses and inelastic job creation, many people face a bleak future. Chirara, however, says that entrepreneurship is not the panacea to economic woes but to help bring some degree of financial freedom.

He says he has observed that some people have a misconception that business is meant for a certain minority."Not that we anticipate problems, but just imagine yourself without a job. Do you see yourself able to survive another day? That is where entrepreneurship comes in," he says in his book.  During an interview, Chirara says by publishing the book he wanted to simplify tips of entrepreneurship to ordinary people. Entrepreneurship is the way to go because graduates who cannot find jobs should not just sit. He said the book is also necessary for the working class to instil some financial discipline because the majority of workers cannot survive more than two months after losing jobs and many workers fail to accumulate enough capital to sustain them upon retirement.
