PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have taken admission to the course of level 3 Access to HE Business course. This
subject is designed for adults who have current as well as previous roles and interests in business
administration and management procedures. Moreover, this course is also helpful for those adults
who are seeking a change in direction because of the increasing incidence of unemployment or
lack of career opportunities in their previous fields. Individuals who have demonstrable interests
in entering a business related professions also were seen to have taken admission in the course.
One of the primary benefits that this course would provide me is that it can help in
equipping entrepreneurs, owners as well as managers with different important essential business
skills and knowledge. I believe that I had no formal business training and I will be ill-prepared
for handling tasks on the business side of the ventures like that of creating of the business skills,
negotiation and even accounting. I strongly understand that studying of the business management
can help in improvement of the ability of the business owners for analyzing the data,
improvement of financial decisions and even in making better predictions about the future.
I have realized those decades ago, business programs used to be more focused on the
preparation of the business owners as well as the managers. The courses had the motive for
helping them to learn about proper ways to budget and understand profit and loss and other
quantitative evaluations. Those aspects are important but the present business course that I have
taken admissions would help me to cover important components of business- management
studies successfully. This course would help me in management of people in the organizations,
working effectively in teams successfully along with proper communication methods, change
management tactics and many others. Poor communication affects workflow and even hampers
the success and profit of the nation. The way people communicate can determine how they will
lead his coworkers and work effectively as team.

PERSONAL STATEMENT
Initially, I used to work in the executive level in an organization. I have faced huge
number of problems while working there. I could not follow the policies effectively, often could
not work effectively as team and had poor communication skills. I did not know proper theories
of management and business and therefore, I often failed to complete any given responsibilities
with confidence and expertise. One another important aspect that I also noticed was that since I
had no proper degrees in business management, I was not also promoted and my career graph
had become quite stagnant. Hence, I needed to complete a business degree which not only
enhanced my skills in business management but also provide me an acknowledgement of
covering a degree and getting good career options. Hence, I will complete this degree with
dedication and motivation and try to achieve the best grades possible.
Two important arenas, which I lack, are self-regulation skills and time management
skills. Both the skills are found to be extremely important for business management
professionals. While conducting business in the workplace, I often have to go through different
strenuous situations, conflicting areas, negotiation areas, turmoil situations and many others. In
such an arena, poor self-regulation can create huge issues resulting in emotional breakdowns,
conflicts, rebellions, poor productivity in workplace among other subordinates and many others.
Therefore, I need to develop self-regulation skills so that I can manage my emotions in strenuous
situations effectively, also show empathy, and care for the emotions of other collages effectively.
This will help in smooth workflow. Poor time management skills can result in failure of work
projects, missing of deadlines and even completion of my daily roles and responsibilities
successfully. Hence, I need to develop my time management skills successfully.
I have also joined mindfulness therapy based sessions in my community. Some of my
friends have gained benefit from the sessions. Moreover, currently, I have allocated separate time

PERSONAL STATEMENT
for conducting yoga and meditation early morning everyday, as these are intricately associated
with inner peace, concentration and self-regulation development. Therefore, these actions would
enable me to develop self-regulation skills successfully. Moreover, for effective time
management, I am currently following a time management scheduling system where I allocate
proper timing for the different activities that I need to complete each day. I set up a time-period
and try my best to complete the work within the time-period. I had also set up a reward system
for myself so that my motivation for time management remains intact.
Thereby with the above-mentioned planning and procedures, I hope to become a
prosperous candidate in business and management aspects and reach the zenith of success in the
future.
