CLASS SESSION HAS CLOSED FOR THIS ACADEMY CLASS.

This is a cohort series and the classes will be held, annually, on the first Friday of every month between October and March, from 9:00am-12:00pm.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your business journey, this meeting is your opportunity to discover how ImagineDSM™ can reignite your passion, inspire innovation, and equip you with practical tools for long-term success.
The ImagineDSM™ Entrepreneurship Program, in collaboration with FuseDSM and Bookpress Publishing, is designed to address the challenges faced by entrepreneurs and small business managers. From idea development to financial management, each session is carefully crafted to provide actionable insights that can be applied immediately to your business.
During our Friday morning sessions over six months, you'll dive into key topics such as creativity, innovation, building networks, marketing, conflict resolution, financial management, and effective time management. Led by industry experts and seasoned entrepreneurs, these sessions will empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship with confidence.
But the learning doesn't end there. Following the program, cohort participants will have the opportunity to stay connected through periodic mentoring meetings. These meetings will provide a supportive environment for participants to share experiences, address challenges, and celebrate successes together.
