"The best way to get anybody involved in your business is to really think big". This advice was delivered by Tyrone Wilson, CEO E-Media Interactive during his presentation at the recently held Scotiabank Entrepreneurship Talk titled 'Entrepreneurship. Think Big'. Wilson was one of three young CEO's to present to a joint gathering of business students from the University and of the West Indies and University of Technology students in an intense discussion on entrepreneurship.
"Create a big visions for yourself and for what you want to achieve" he said. When approaching business, ask yourself "what will Jamaica be like in ten years? Open your minds and create a future for yourselves, and that is thinking big". He also advised them to not let anyone tell you that your dream is impossible. "Never side-line your dream", he said. Wilson's points were reiterated by the two other panellists, Lacey Ann Bartley, Bartley's All In Wood and Patria Kay Aarons, Sweetie Confectionery.
The former Scotiabank Premier Branch location was officially re-opened, on September 23, to accommodate a new Scotiabank Express banking centre. The location is part of the Bank's continued initiative to provide numerous touch points to facilitate convenient banking options for customers.
