How to become an entrepreneur at a young age
April 04, 2008
And miles to go. . .
What are the qualities that an entrepreneur must have?
One must have a good business model. A great business model or plan is very essential to succeed.
One must have excellent team management skills. Even if it is team of five people, it is difficult to manage a team so you have to be geared up for that.
You must also have people management skills since you have to deal with lot of people, you have to impress people and make them believe in what you do.
Finance is a major issue. One must get a good funding.
You should have a passion and drive to get you going.
What is your success mantra? You make it sound very easy?
Work is a passion for me rather than a compulsion. There is no formula for success, you have to put in a lot of hard work, believe in yourself, have faith in whatever you do. I make it sound easy because if you think it's difficult it makes things tougher. It's better to believe that we can do it and works towards achieving our goal.
Advice to budding entrepreneurs?
There is a general belief that young people can't do anything. You must go against this and prove what you can go. The initial steps will be difficult but never give up. You have to break the barriers and strive for excellence.
What are your future plans?
We plan to set up a film production house and a football league for youngsters.
What are your interests? How to you spend your spare time?
Now it's just work, work and more work. However, I like reading, music and going for long walks.
