Describe the skill sets that are essential to future business leaders and innovators.
I think and know that education is one main thing that we as God’s people need to be educated [whether] in the school system, one way or another. Computer knowledge is a must in this society. We are a World Wide Web generation and we will always be that from here on out, or until something else is invented. Trust me, God is always improving his people — if someone believes it or not. Entrepreneurship is necessary. We need to teach God’s people and motivate the next generation, the up-and-coming young people, and the importance of owning your own business. Also, being reasonable in helping others to accomplish their goals in life. If the people have no vision, there will be no future businessmen and women.
