mine is 21st, best western 9:10am. I pray all of us wins! smiley. it just might be a simple interview not as intensive or competitive as dragons den cos it kinda different here. even though its a competition its also is a government grant not a bunch of cut-throat fire-breathing investors looking only to make quick money and garner high ratings for the tv promoters.. drawing the contrast further some of us are going to be pitching new non-existent business while at the dragons den you have to have your business up an running or at least at a prototype stage (i think!) and be able to demonstrate your numbers thoroughly using multimedia boards n stuff.. here we weren't asked to even prepare a slide.. just my thinking tho..

You have a point and you might be correct but then I think it's better to be over prepared than to be under prepared. Whatever the intention of the Dragons Den, it still avail us a wondeful learning medium. You can always look beyon the drama to what you personally can learn from it. And if we critically analyze why the interview was introduce in this edition in the first place, it might be wise get more prepared for a dragons den expereince, most expecially you guyz we a New Business.

Answer the questions directly on the ms word word on your system before printing it out. It is easy to determine the number of words and it will also make your work very neat.

No one is certain because it was not indicated in the instructions. But, looking at the format YouWiN has adopted from the begin I think, we are expected to 'fill in' the answers in the same template, I stand to be corrected though.

YOUWIN 3 MOCK PANEL INTERVIEW REPORT AND GUIDE IS HERE!

My Dear Millionaire Friend,

It gladdens my heart for a huge turnout of my millionaire friends that came to the
mock youwin panel interview on Sat 2nd August 2014, at Osun state, Nigeria.

I met a lot of people for the very first time. It was exciting as people were taught how
to defend their 10 million naira through their business plan.

NOTE: If you don’t defend your business plan very well at the interview stage,
you might not be thrown out of the competition but I guarantee you that your 10 million naira will be reduced.

At the mock panel interview, we also received the new template that will be
used to interview you. We also did justice to that.

NOTE: The content you put in the template must be the one you can talk about and defend.

I think that's what the space underneath each question is meant for. It's just logical to type it in there.

I am happy to see that my humble suggestion on watching Dragon's Den and focusing on the questions asked by the Dragons and not the drama, has been accepted as something that will be of help to many attending the interview. I have has the opportunity of being interviewed by the EDC panel sometime in the past and I can tell you that the default mindset of the panelists is that of telling you your business will not work and is not worthy of such money.

It is therefore your job to convince them that the business you will present for the award is:
a) Viable
b) Capable of employing Nigerians on a sustainable level.

You must know your financials. Do not pad figures, do not be too optimistic or pessimistic. So take time to pin point the key points of your business, learn how to present and be confident.

OK I am starting it now, though the questions are what we already know, it is advisable to use words you know the exact meaning and can defend. be specific.

then who has done the break even Part? notice that it was after the (100) that we are asked to give the summary, should it be part of the 100 words?
Re: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by chukwuka12: 12:52pm On Aug 09, 2014
Hi. I think the summary of the break even will be in figures and very brief as we did on the. Cash flow.. Its not part of the 100 words..(my thinking)
