How to develop entrepreneurial skills?

        Its 21st century and nobody likes to work under someone, underpaid and unfulfilled. Rather, everyone likes others to work for them. But becoming an entrepreneur is not a piece of cake. You need some skills to excel in this particular field. Giving an idea and making a business modal comes afterward.

        So, what skills you need to be an entrepreneur? Let's see...

Creativity

   
        Creativity is the root of entrepreneurship. Creativity is something, which comes through your smart-work rather than hard work. The people who procrastinate, about everything tends to be more creative because they cut short everything, but it's sometimes dangerous as well. You need creativity to excel. Being a book-worm cannot let you lead a perfect life and job or whatsoever.

Delay gratification

        Keeping a small budget enables you to manage your finances in an effective way. You know, what you are going through and what do you need. If you are out of the budget, you try to make money by any means. There are many examples of rich people, giving a small amount to their children and teaching how to save money. 

        Sylvester Stallone, an American actor, in the age of 30 made a movie Rocky in the '70s, which became a blockbuster. Before that, he didn't even have a home. His script was liked by almost every producer, but they didn't want him to act, as they thought him to be ugly. But Stallone made his word, producers were convinced and the rest is history.

Manage your own finances

        When you delay gratification, it becomes a bit easy for you to manage your own finances on your own without bothering your parents or others. Its a basic skill you can learn, you just need to cut off all the unnecessary expenses from your budget and for that, you will need to focus a bit if you're from a wealthy background. No worries, you can spend money on whatever you want, but after becoming a successful business tycoon or whatsoever.

Be willing to lead

        A good leader is someone, who is initiative. Try to initiate everything possible. You'll learn the qualities of leading from the front. The good leaders make up to be the best entrepreneurs. Know who is around you, be humble, be a good listener and develop critical thinking.

Be motivated all the time

        What is it to be motivated? you should look and act fine. Be yourself. Dress up nicely. Spread optimism all the time. In a survey, conducted in America, Employers confessed that they will choose to hire a person who is well-dressed, walking at a good pace, sparkling eyes and a bright smile. They look motivated. On the other hand, they will not hire a person who is clumsy and always worried. Only the best employees make the best entrepreneurs.

Develop communication skills

        If you cannot communicate, you cannot excel. For developing communication skills, you need to socialize with everybody, and for that, you need to be open and extrovert. It will help you develop your market. When you start a business, you need to promote it and without socializing you cannot do it. You should be able to talk to the higher officials.

        After starting a business, you need consistency, you need to stick to, it no matter what comes in your way, you should be prepared. Risk takers are the finest entrepreneurs. They may have a huge loss but what they gain is, the ability to avoid such circumstances next time. But these are the things you need to consider after developing all those qualities mentioned above.

       That's all folks, need your feedback.

Mushkpuri Diaries

        What else can be better than having fun with friends? A long awaited morning came. We were done with the OHTs, it was exhausting. Who likes exams?               A good turned evil friend of mine, kicked me out of the bed when it was 5 on the clock and I was like WTF. We reached the bus stop at 6. OK, forget about the time, we were in the Bus and we even had breakfast in the Bus. We were about to leave the boundaries of College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST (CEME, NUST).             There were 5 Buses, we were in a great number and it was our first trip from CEME, NUST to Mushkpuri top.  4 seniors came in our Bus, afterwards. The term Senior, is often terrifying to some, but we had a lot of fun with them.         When the journey started, our beloved Class Representative (CR) started making crazy faces and moves to entertain us, but we are g...

Who am I? What am I doing? Why am I alive?

Have you ever wondered, what if you were left alone in the world with all the luxuries, but no people? How does it feel?  I guess I will be happy at first, and after enjoying every possible luxurious event, I'll have no one to share it with, leaving me sad and depressed (it's the worst I can imagine).  Have you ever felt lonely in a crowd? I guess, always, when you don't know anyone truly.  Why does it happen? What do we need to do?  It happens because we aren't connected with ourselves, we need some self-assessment to overcome this loneliness.   When something is bothering you or making you feel worthless, and you seek advice, people will tell you to distract yourself and find the activities that you like, but we cannot do it if we are not connected with ourselves and it takes a lot of work, a lot of self-realization, it's a process of knowing ourselves, who we truly are.  We ought to connect with our emotions and try to control them, otherwise, they ...

Secularism everywhere

     The increased rate of secularism in Pakistan is deviating many from their right path. Pakistan is not a secular state, rather it has an Islamic ideology and is known as 'The Islamic Republic of Pakistan'. Even the so-called 'Muftis"(Recognized scholars), nowadays, are offering degrees in the favor of interest policies. When we have our holy book Quran and Allah says in the Quran:      “O ye who believe! fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. If ye do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger.” (al-Baqara 278-279)       It is clear from the verses mentioned above, that devouring usury (interest), is a war against Allah and his Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Now if anyone, even a Mufti, says that usury is 'Halal' ( Permissible) in Islam, he is truly misguided and misguiding others as well.  The rise of the secularism       People, even of th...
