1.Could you please tell us how you discovered the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship program?
I follow Macedonia2025 and all the activities of the organization. I admire people and organizations that devote themselves to helping others. Macedonia2025 is a great example.
2. What prompted you to apply to the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program in partnership with CESO SACO and where did you see the need of having external consultancy in your company?
As a company, Eon Eden has always been striving to achieve better results, to become a better organization, and to be the first to bring about changes in Macedonia. Our biggest goal at this moment is to sign a contract with a foreign company with a good reputation. In order to be ready to serve them best, we must implement world-class discipline, internal organization, learn new skills, etc. In order to define the steps and find out where to start and what to strive for, we needed external consultancy.
3. How would the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program increase the organizational capacity and improve the overall competitiveness of the company?
Our consultant was very knowledgeable in different fields, but mainly he helped us in defining the steps we need to follow in order to achieve the results, the discipline, the capacity, and therefore increase our competitiveness. Explaining the process gradually with real case studies and examples, we managed to succeed. This is also a skill that we can apply in other contexts, not only the situation we are in at the moment.
4. Can you please outline three main benefits from the program that are readily applicable in the daily work of your business?
I started focusing on working ON the business, instead of IN the business. I am still learning how to let go and leave most of the daily activities to my colleagues, in order for me to focus on growing the business, but we are getting there.
I started saying NO. I am focusing on the goals that we have chosen and leave aside everything and anything that is not focused on the goal. We stopped going for the next ‘shiny object’.
Reports. Follow results on a weekly/monthly basis, in order to know where we are, where the team is and if someone is behind, help them out, or find other solutions.
5. Why should another Macedonian micro, small and medium enterprises apply to the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program?
I highly recommend The Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program to every company that wants to grow and wants to be competitive in their field. We, as people, but even more as a company, must learn new things, strategies, systems, methods and use external knowledge from people that have been there, in order to grow and fulfill our goals. No matter what that would be. There is no other way but from programs like this. Current successful companies and entrepreneurs are very busy with running their own business and they have no time to devote to helping others. On the other hand, we have a huge number of people that claim themselves to be consultants for every business without even having one day of work experience as business owners. Therefore, having a consultant from Canada devote his or her time and knowledge in order to help someone, is absolutely priceless.
