Marty Godwin
Certificate in Business Ownership (CBO)
A qualified nurse for over 25 years Marty wanted
to go out on his own. He enrolled in Aoraki Polytechnic's
Certificate in Business Ownership (CBO) with a loose plan in place,
"I went along with an idea of selling mobility products, from my
nursing background I saw a gap in the market to make mobility and
rehabilitation products easily available and try to remove the
stigma surrounding them."
"Although owning your own business is a lot of work, the freedom
is great and I'm glad I made the change. CBO encouraged me to go
ahead withMore Mobilityand to also think outside the realm of just
selling products, I also organise servicing, installation and
rental options of all rehabilitation and mobility products, I'd
like to think it's a one-stop-shop."
"The class hours were perfect and there was a diverse range of
students in the class. From those who already owned businesses to
those, like me who just had an idea. It was a great chance to
network and bounce ideas off each other."
