"Entrepreneurship is a part of Life, not a work life balance" This eye opener is what was structured in the 2 days WEE LEADERSHIP Training program at WESTIN VALLEY - Thondamuthur, Kovai. The key insightful takeaways included: 1. Not everybody can be an entrepreneur or leader hence the Millionaire mindset and habits are very important. 2. Viability, Sustainability and Scalability became the CORE point of learning for our WEE Flag bearers. 3. This included various thought provoking practical briefing on how every small beginning can make incremental improvement towards sustainable progress to achieve monumental possibilities. 4. Viable business solutions and focus always pays as the price for everyone's dream of being a business person.

*A moment to Thank is as Special as the wonders we experience in life*. Thanking someone for specialising, co-working, co-ordinating in order to showcase the strength of Teamwork is nothing but a sign of SUCCESS of the Team. A determined and focussed team are the ones that undergo a lot of struggles in the ways of failures, being demeaned and learning from all the hardships only to put up a brave face and move forward with those who stay intact with the team. Such teams eventually become successful as with the success of the team lies the individual's success and vice versa. Women Empowerment and Entrepreneurship is one such living example that experienced all the above only to taste it's first step of acknowledging success on it's 4th Birthday on June 15, 2024 through WEE COMMERCE CONNECT Event 1.0 WEE is humbled, honored, privileged and overwhelmed to have witnessed the authorization from Chennai Commissioner to all leading Tamil Main Stream Media to very recognized high level distributors connected to the Directors of MSME This would not have been possible without the Team of Volunteers, Zonal Leaders, the new members of WEE who trusted and travelled with us and all the booth enrollers who had trust in the 1st version of WEE Commerce Connect.

Intellectual property right seminar in ITC conducted by MSME in Coimbatore, our WEE group also participated. Many people are benefiting from it, and this training workshop provided an opportunity to learn about legal schemes that are full of practical possibilities.
