To deepen the business potential of its partner cooperatives, TJSL Phapros held a training on how to build a virtual business.

To build a successful business, in addition to capital, insight and knowledge are also needed. This training discusses the definition, tips, and ways to start and develop a business independently and with the potential for success. With this training, partner beneficiaries are expected to be able to develop a business plan/potential, learn good business strategies, and be willing to compete by prioritizing quality.

The Partnership Training was held virtually on July 20, 2022, with Slamet Priyanto (Owner of CV. Cakra Dwipa) as the speaker and attended by about 40 partner beneficiaries. In his presentation, Slamet explained that the goal of building a business is to become a successful and wealthy entrepreneur who can help others. To achieve this, one must be able to take advantage of opportunities by observing, imitating, and modifying (ATM) and learn a lot. Slamet said that his business, which is engaged in services, has been running for 12 years by always communicating with employees, building relationships, and maintaining customer trust.

There are several requirements to become a successful entrepreneur, namely:
