Entrepreneurs Action Programme I went to a preview seminar of a successful entrepreneur trainer with Key. The seminar is known as the Entrepreneurs Action Program (EAP) Boot-Camp, flagship programme of a Singapore-based entrepreneur training company, Exec-Directions mainly owned by successful Singaporean Entrepreneurs Wendy Kwek and Jerome Tan.

The preview session was held at a conference room in Holliday Villa with Jerome speaking. The session and I suppose the EAP Boot-Camp itself is motivational. I usually attend technical and/or business funding seminars but rarely motivational ones. There aren’t many good and cheap motivational speakers / programmes in Malaysia. Jerome reminds me of a Singaporean Anthony Robbins.

Exec-Directions is expanding at Malaysia. In Singapore, they have had over 300 graduates of the EAP Boot-Camp. The programme has received very good testimonies from some of their graduates. Check out their websites to see some of them. The main idea of the seminar is ACTION. It is for those who want to be entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs who want to learn to:

1. Remove mental obstacles for entrepreneurship (courage building)


2. Understand and implement the key success factors in entrepreneurship

Well, it feels that I am advertising for them. Oh well, I guess it is because I intend to attend their first session in Malaysia (which is at a 50% discount from the normal Singapore price). I think their first session will be held in March. Speaking of price – it is about RM3, 000. It is a relatively cheap for the huge load of content and a long contact time (the EAP boot-camp is spread over 3 weeks).

Jerome is an excellent speaker. He has a very unique style – Sing-lish Anthony Robbins style. I also find that I have some traits in common with Jerome like our passions for bootstrapping, reading and personal development.

I expect to learn the following skills from the seminar:

• Make money with little or no money (bootstrapping) for ANY kind of business


• Maximizing marketing efforts with little money


• Creating synergy in Teams


• Networking with liked-minded people


• Get reviews for my business plans


• Sell anything to anybody

Remember, one of the key to success in life is to: Constantly and Never-Endingly Improve (CANI). We have to feed our natural growth instinct.
