Go Negosyo's mentoring to boost MSMEs' recovery resumes on April 9

Published Apr 8, 2022 03:30 pm

Over a thousand small entrepreneurs are expected to get free one-on-one mentoring with experienced business owners and industry leaders and go home with cash prizes to invest in their small businesses. This will happen when Mentor Me On Wheels, Go Negosyo's popular one-on-one mentoring program for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, returns on April 9 at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque City.

In a statement, Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion said that the program's return would help the economy thrive amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

"Throughout the pandemic, we continued to mentor Filipino entrepreneurs through our programs. With the return of Mentor Me On Wheels, we express our confidence that the country will not only bounce back from the pandemic but that it will thrive and prosper through entrepreneurship," he said.

Mentor Me On Wheels aims to bring business mentorship closer to small business owners, equipping them with the technical and practical know-how on entrepreneurship in a setting that is accessible and convenient for them.

During the event, the mentee-participants sit down with a mentor for a one-on-one mentoring session, allowing the mentees to get expert views and best practices in running a business.

Additional materials and modules on entrepreneurial mind-setting and marketing will provide supplemental knowledge on managing micro and small businesses.

Facilitating the mentoring are more than 130 mentors who will be sharing their knowledge and experience with small entrepreneurs during 30-minute sessions. The mentors include prominent business people from different industries, such as Bernie Liu of Penshoppe, Pepot Miñana of Jollibee Foods Corporation, George Royeca of Angkas, Nigel Lockett of DHL Philippines, Enrico Dee of Foodie Global Concepts, Alfredo Pascual of the Management Association of the Philippines, Tommanny Tan of iFern Corporation, Eric Teng of Resto PH, Yvette Orbeta of Wendy's, Johnlu Koa of The French Baker, David Charlton of David's Salon, and many more. Concepcion will also participate as one of the mentors.

"Mentorship is an essential component in helping these entrepreneurs achieve success," Presidential Adviser on Entrepreneurship Concepcion said.

Along with Money and Markets, Mentorship forms the pillar of the advocacy of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship, the non-stock, non-profit organization behind Go Negosyo.

The event will also be an opportunity for the small entrepreneurs to win cash prizes that they can use as seed capital for starting their businesses, or to help expand their existing ones. Half-a-million pesos in cash are set to be given away during the event.

Mentor Me on Wheels is a spinoff of Go Negosyo's successful mentoring programs conducted with the Department of Trade and Industry, the Kapatid Mentor ME Program. For agripreneurs, Go Negosyo has the Kapatid Agri Mentor Me Program, which it implements with the Department of Agriculture.

During the pandemic, Go Negosyo continued with these mentoring programs with sessions conducted via online conferencing and social media through the blended KMME-MME Online Program and KAMMP Online using the same mentorship modules.

The programs were even able to expand to regions and cities across the Philippines throughout the pandemic, coaching and benefiting thousands of mentees even with the mobility restrictions.
