An exciting collaboration between The J R McKenzie
Trust and Thrive Whanganui is set to ignite entrepreneurial
dreams in Whanganui with the two-day start-up workshop, “Be
Your Own Boss – Whakaterea Te Moemoeā,” scheduled for
November 25th and 26th, 2023, at Te Manu Atatū – Whanganui
Maori Business Network, 12/14 Drews
Avenue.

Participants in this inspiring wānanga will
embark on a transformative journey where they will discover
how to research their business idea, strengthening it beyond
theory and into actionable plans. Practical research skills
will be shared to directly benefit participants’ business
ideas.

This weekend promises not only knowledge but
also an opportunity to identify existing strengths and areas
for improvement. The event aims to foster adaptability,
encouraging attendees to seize opportunities, embrace
change, and conquer challenges as they arise. Participants
will also gain access to valuable tools and resources,
including helpful worksheets and information for continued
progress. “As we always say at Thrive: Knowledge is the key
to unlocking your potential,” emphasises Elise Goodge, the
Programme and Partnerships Lead for Thrive
Whanganui.

The core of the wānanga is empowerment.
Attendees will be inspired to take ownership of their ideas
and embrace leadership and self-determination in their
entrepreneurial journey. This event seeks to create a
supportive environment where indigenous entrepreneurs can
explore their aspirations, feel connected, and take decisive
steps toward realising their business dreams.

Thrive
Whanganui has developed “The Boss Book – Te Pukapuka Pāhi”
as a crucial resource to support entrepreneurs in their
business planning journey and ensure a strong start. Each
participant will receive a complimentary copy of this guide
to continue their progress beyond the workshop.
