Schools Do Not Produce Entrepreneurs!!!

Entrepreneurship is not something which is been taught at school, college or university. Schools train us how to become an employee. Each and every instructor trains us how we can get a job in someone’s company. None of them teaches us how can we start our own company or how can we build our own empire. Institutes teach us accounting but don’t teach us the importance of acquiring assets. We don’t learn in school that we should acquire income generating assets which should be like planting a tree!!

Studying course books and getting good grades is not enough in this competitive world, we have got to do something which should differentiates ourselves from others. I don’t know why we are been trained in schools in such a way that we start thinking that starting our own business is risky thus we should work under someone else so that it can gives us a sense of security.

I am not against educational system but the way limits are been put in our minds such as getting an A and getting a good job is one of the wonderful thing on this planet anyone can have is actually challenging our learning, exposure and eventually forming fear in our minds that we cannot start something of our own. 

Though truth of the matter is leaning comes from making mistakes. In schools we learn making mistakes is like a sin thus we will get fewer marks and eventually we will fail likewise if you are an employee making mistakes means you will be fired.. But if you are a passionate entrepreneur making mistakes means you are learning and growing and falling down or getting failures means rise up and try again in more smarter way.

I think schools should encourage students to start their own business, they should motivate them that becoming an entrepreneur and creating jobs is far more better and long lasting option than doing a job! they shouldn't prepare students for a rat race; "go to work, come back home, go to work, come back home." Life has so much to offer us it's a daring adventure then why should we spend it by sitting in one cubicle?? Give it a thought!!

Importance of Personal Development

According to Robert Kiyosaki; one of the great Entrepreneur, investor, author and renowned speaker, personal development is where you have to be bigger than your problems. Well I completely agree with Mr Kiyosaki however, I would like to add over here is that personal development is a lifetime course where we have to focus on growing ourselves intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Moreover, it is an effort to lead a positive life and growing ourselves as an individual.

Basically it’s all about developing a positive attitude where we simply empty our cup and willing to learn from every single source and from people.  We develop the ability to listen to others and then take productive decision.

Now you must be wondering why personal development is crucial for an Entrepreneur?? Well it is important because Entrepreneurs reach a certain level where they make lots of money but they stop learning hence, they fall into comfort zone. They start thinking that they know each and everything and they don’t need to learn from others thus they don’t listen to others which eventually result in blocking opportunities that are coming towards them.

If you are a succesful Entrepreneur people like to follow you, few consider you as a role model, few want to follow in your footsteps and few want you to be their mentor therefore, you have to maintain such identity in the market. And it can be only possible when you do not stop growing. Thus it is necessary for every single Entrepreneur to learn and gain knowledge from whomever or wherever they get a chance.

There are few ways how you can start your personal development program:

   1)      Reading positive books

   2)      Listening motivational audios

   3)     Watching personal development videos
   4)     Attending events and seminars
   5)     Association with positive people.

If you really want to feed your mind with positive thoughts and gain knowledge then you should take 1 hour for personal growth on daily basis this is how you will attract positive things in your life.!!

Entrepreneurship Vs Employment

Have you ever realized the difference between being an Entrepreneur or being an employee?? Have you ever bother to give a look in being your own boss or working for someone else?? Well there are several major differences which set apart an entrepreneur from an employee. An entrepreneur has completely different lifestyle. He is his own boss whereas if we are doing job we have to work for someone else to make him rich. Being an entrepreneur means you work on your dream but if you are an employee you work on someone else's dream. Think about it which opportunity has more to offer you; living for yourself or living someone else's life!!

Well I would love to discuss key advantages of having your own business. Having your own business simply means having freedom!! Entrepreneurs attain time freedom and financial freedom in the long run, basically they don’t work for money, money woks for them once they build the system and strong foundation for their business.

Entrepreneurs believe in creating jobs and building businesses whereas if you are an employee you will have to live on your salary. It's like either making a living by doing job or making a fortune by being an entreprenuer. Most of the people have wrong perception about entrepreneurship; people consider it risky to start a business whereas what I believe is it’s risky to rely on job only!! What if you have a good job today and you are fired tomorow; will your company or boss seek your permission before firing you?? Ofcourse not!! Moreover the best thing in being an entrepreneur is your business can be passed on to your next generation, can you pass on your job to your next generation?? You cannot even pass it on to a single person!!

If you are really looking forward to become a successful entrepreneur you must consider and build three things in your business.

1)      System

2)      Team

3)      Duplication

Well you have got one life, choice is yours either you can trade hours for dollars or you can trade ideas for millions!!

Visionary Entrepreneur

Well I have always heard the definition that an entrepreneur is the one who comes up with an innovative idea. What I believe is an entrepreneur is a person who is visionary and has spirit to implement his idea. Many people come up with several innovative ideas but few of them have willingness to work on those ideas and majority of them give up in middle of their journey... An entrepreneur is the one who has a particular vision in his mind, he has belief in his vision and in himself and has courage to reaching at his vision!! He must has ability to dream, fail and win..!! There is no such thing which is easy to attain but is fruitful. The bigger vision entrepreneurs have, the more challenges they have to face but if they don't give up, they will be able to reap the fruits of their hardwork.

A Visionary entrepreneur never gives up, he has belief in himself and in his vision. He keeps moving forward unless he reaches at his destination. When we start any journey in our life, we fail several times but it depends how we react towards the failure whether we see an opportunity in our failures or we quit immediately. We have an opportunity to learn from our failures and move on!!! The only way to lose is when we give up on our purpose/dream/vision. Failing is a part of our journey, the more we fail the more we learn from the process so it is essential to develop the learning attitude. The famous inventor and businessperson Thomas Edison says "our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."

If you are already an entrepreneur or you aspire to be the one thenI would highly recommend that do not give up on your idea or vision, keep moving forward you will definitely get what you have paid for!!

Network Marketing in Pakistan

Some of the people in Pakistan have very negative perception about Network Marketing, today I am going to tell you what exactly Network Marketing is?? How it has changed the lives of people all over the world?? How it helps you to be become a positive person.

Well first of all I would like to tell you that Network Marketing is for a person who is open minded and willing to make a difference in his own life and in other’s lives. It's been more than 70 years Network Marketing is doing well in all over the world especially USA, Middle East and India. This business is running in almost every corner of the world, this industry is operating in 200 plus countries. It is the industry that has produced more millionaires than any other industry has produced on this planet.

The global revenue for Network Marketing in 2012 is $167 billion and they have distributed $65 billions among their distributors and they have produced 65000 Millionaires around the globe. Isn't it super amazing?? We can be the part of the millionaires' pool as well!! The revenue of movie industry is $80 billion and organic industry is $91 billion. Now you tell me how much these industries have contributed among you? Nothing at all!! Though you do a great word of mouth of movies and organic products..!! Network marketing is not something that asks you to invest your money into their company; they are already multi-billion dollars companies. 

The thing is they ask you to use their world-class products and become partner with their company. It's all about doing word of mouth and building a team of distributors who should be open to new opportunities and think like you and want to change their life and their family's lives. Don't misunderstand the network marketing business with pyramid schemes, this business is for dreamers, if you are a dreamer and looking forward to attain financial freedom and time freedom then Network marketing is the best opportunity for you!!

Chapter 1 Review: Rich Don't Work For Money

In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki has expressed his wonderful thoughts that has changed millions of lives. Go to school study hard get good grades and get a good job has became an obsolete idea, well our academic performance or school grades don't define our success. Our success is determined by the willingness or burning desire that we have to become a successful person. If we really want to be rich we must know how to make money, we don't need to work for money like 9-5 job we are wasting our golden years in the rat race, go to work come back home, go to work come back home; In this particular race we forget our dreams, we forget what we really want in our lives, where we want to see ourselves in next 5 years.

There are two statements state by poor dad and rich dad:

1) Poor dad says study hard so you find a good company to work for.

2) Rich dad says study hard (invest in personal development) so you can find a good company to buy for and generate employment. Now you decide what you really want?? You want to be rich or you want to give 100% in making someone else rich.

There are few important points in this chapter I would like to share:

• Physical exercise increase the chances for health and proper mental exercise increases the chances of wealth.
• Poor dad says don't take risk, rich dad says if you want to be successful learn to manage risks.
• We should control our two emotions; fear and greed.
• Always ask questions so that you can learn more.
• Your thoughts and actions make you poor not your income.
• Whatever you say becomes reality thus always speak positive.
• You must invest in various businesses, don't depend on just a single source of income.
• when you start thinking you come up with new ideas and opportunities.
• Rich have a reason to become rich; find that reason first.
• Don't blame others' change yourself.
• Lack of money is the root to an evil.
• Subject of money is not taught in schools.
• Don't do a job, create jobs.
