Makassar—a city bursting with energy, ambition, and young minds ready to change the world—became the latest destination for Academy of Entrepreneurs (AE)! Our journey here was all about empowering students with the confidence, creativity, and skills to turn their ideas into reality, even with zero dollars in their pockets.
At the heart of this mission was Celebes School Makassar, where our CEO, Paula, led an exciting masterclass session with 20+ students eager to learn, explore, and step into the world of entrepreneurship.
Kicking Off at Celebes School: Business with Zero Dollars? Yes, It’s Possible!
As we entered Celebes School, we were greeted by a buzz of excitement. The students, full of curiosity and enthusiasm, gathered around, ready to learn something that could change their lives forever.
The topic of the day? "How to Start a Business with Zero Dollars."
Many students started with the same thought: "Is that even possible?"
But as Paula led the session, sharing real-world examples and practical strategies, the skepticism turned into wide-eyed realization. The students learned that successful businesses don’t start with money—they start with an idea, resourcefulness, and the right mindset.
The Power of Ideas & Resourcefulness
During the session, students were guided through exercises to:
Identify their unique skills & talents – Everyone has something valuable to offer!
Spot opportunities in everyday life – The best businesses solve real problems.
Leverage free tools & networks – Social media, collaborations, and creativity can launch a business without spending a dollar.
The moment the students realized they already had everything they needed to start a business, their confidence skyrocketed!
Creativity in Action: Students Pitch Their Business Ideas
With their entrepreneurial mindset activated, the students were challenged to come up with their own zero-dollar business ideas. The results were nothing short of inspiring!
Some students thought of offering study support & tutoring services, while others came up with community-based projects that could grow through partnerships. A few even had brilliant digital ideas, using social media as their launchpad.
As they pitched their ideas, their eyes lit up with excitement—realizing that their dreams weren’t just ideas anymore; they were actionable plans!
Makassar’s Future Entrepreneurs Are Ready!
By the end of the session, the students weren’t just thinking about businesses—they were thinking like entrepreneurs. They left the room inspired, motivated, and ready to take the first step toward their own success stories.
AE’s Mission: Empowering Young Changemakers
Our visit to Makassar was a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship isn’t about how much money you have—it’s about mindset, problem-solving, and action. The students of Celebes School proved that great ideas and determination are worth more than any investment.
AE is incredibly proud and excited to have been part of this journey, and we can’t wait to see what these young changemakers will build next!
This is just the beginning, and Makassar’s entrepreneurial future is looking brighter than ever! 🚀✨
