ENTREPRENEURSHIP: ONE STEP FURTHER TO YOUR STARTUP
Ideas for new businesses, and aesthetic achievements are normal, however extraordinary execution is uncommon. Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
Most business articles will tell you to pin down a marketing strategy, study the opposition, look for investment, etc. In case, you're searching for something to that effect, set this one back on the rack as this article is ideal for hard-working entrepreneurs, small business owners, the people who are tired of their 9 to 5 job, and any individual who has ever longed for doing it all alone.
Let me show you a more fitting, quicker, simpler approach to succeed in business. Go through it all and you'll realize why plans are really better skipped, why you don't require outside investment, and why you're in an ideal situation when you disregard the competitors. Truly, you need far less of what you think. You don't even require an office. On the whole, those are just excuses.
The key to success for every entrepreneur is getting started. So, all you need to do is stop thinking, and just get started.
Here is a question. Think for a while and tell me how satisfied you are with your campus life, technology, and learning? Okay, let's leave it aside for a while and tell me have you ever thought about the convergence among these three?
Let's just assume you thought about it, and you also didn't see a convergence among them, and thereby were not satisfied with it.
Even if you are not completely satiated with the 90's technology, poor performance of LMS, CMS or the unsatisfactory intersection among campus life, learning, and technology, you are not alone as students from top-notch universities of Europe and America are also exhausted of this. So, what could be the solution? Now this is exactly the point where the word 'entrepreneurship' pops up.
Entrepreneurship is all about finding the gap and providing the best alternate solution. It's about creating a solution for the problems we encounter and about finding that spot where time, money, and effort is currently not being utilized efficiently. It requires starting a project and providing an efficient model. So, what does it take to make it all alone and attain the desirable outcomes? What makes an entrepreneur keep going? What lets him reach newer, and better milestones?
Let me tell you a secret, it all starts from within, as it started for Saad El Yamani, a passionate individual from Morocco who travelled to the US in pursuit of his higher studies with a goal to change the world. However, he found himself in the middle of an unexpected limitation. He realized that students there had access to every possible facility, multiple learning tools, connecting social media accounts and student-based societies for practical learning and extra-curricular activities, yet barely any of them got to utilize their true potential. Academia, as a whole, lacked something that was truly essential for better grooming of students. He realized the lack of intersection between technology and learning and found out that no connection had existed. He arrived at a conclusion that students had social media to connect, learning management systems for classes, and University website for campus related news, all together leading to a poor experience.
Now, it was his turn to change the story around. He created a student-centric, learners’ engagement platform, 'Ambi Inc.' that serves to contravene the conventional 90's technology and aims at helping students attain their true potential. His project got extraordinary support by industry and now has a worth of more than 5 million dollars. He's also been announced for Forbes 30 under 30.
Nevertheless, entrepreneurship is a set of customs, culture, and a lifestyle that every individual - who seeks to pursue an extra milestone in his career, desires to attain the highest level of potential, tends to reach the level of self-actualization, craves to level up his social class, and most of all aims to provide the solution one must understand and imitate. Keen and thorough understanding of your resources and interests and a correlation between them is the first step towards establishing a start-up business.
