Apprenticeship

Before the industrial age during the agricultural age skills, knowledge and expertise are transfered from masters to apprentice in the manner of servitude. This model of teacher student relationship are practice in our life entrepreneurship program.

After you earned your community membership you will be sponsored to the community. Your sponsor's responsibility is to guide you in the ins and outs of the community. The sponsor will give you a checklist of the things to do or have as an apprentice of life entrepreneurship.

Once the routine tasks given is mastered by you, you will now in turn be requested to act as sponsor for new members of the community. The student becomes the teacher this time. However, in the community, we believe that the teacher is always a student. The fastest way to learn is to teach.

The greatest satisfaction of a sponsor is to see the apprentice sponsoring others as well. John Maxwell call phenomenon this "multiplication stage" of the stages of influence.
