Who is the driver for your entrepreneurial journey? Is it you? your teachers? your parents? your friends? your investors? Your Ideas? or who else!!!
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started”- Mark Twain
Traveling miles across, trainings with back-to-back schedules and activities for engineering students made me believe one day I can see them becoming a job provider otherwise an entrepreneur! My firm belief ended with only numbers validation — 40 colleges* 200 students* 3 years and found the impact metrics were only reaching them to define the word “Entrepreneurship” and nothing beyond. “ Teachers can’t be a driver”
Siva’s(name changed) parents wanted him to ‘learn’ entrepreneurship and they spent lakhs of money for his education in a traditional business school. Parents set it right with their bigger pockets — But, his actual learning started in his venture and unfortunately, he lost control over his performance and started losing profits. Everything is shut now! He is back to a job to learn Entrepreneurship! “Parents can’t be your driver”
Three crazy minds joined together to solve a problem, They afforded to come with MVP and not MVB- Unless you validate it, where is the scope of product to become a scalable business ?— they have given up! ‘Startup Failure’ is like ‘True Lie’!“ Friends can’t be your driver”
“ It’s all about making ideas happen” — Metrics! Metrics! Metrics!- the team, the product, the time, and the target customers- Investors want to believe in you — how to become investor-ready and “Investors can’t be your driver”
So who is the driver for your entrepreneurial journey?
Yes, It’s an idea worth solving and scalable to make 3X profits!
It was a new paradigm for me when I was introduced to the iTOOLS-FIR & FVR@ forge. I realised the science behind validating the journey of entrepreneurship starts here!.
Now, it’s all new to me with new hope and scope of moving beyond making students only to define “Entrepreneurship”.
Being an educator, always I question myself on what is the positive impact I am creating on what I am doing?.
Joining Team forge to offer a program in MBA(Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture development) make me feel excited about travelling with students and start-ups in a more meaningful journey of entrepreneurship.
“ The strategic approach to entrepreneurship in forge validates your problem statement more scientifically and logically” It fuels your entrepreneurial journey, It helps you to navigate your destination, get’s you the Leaner license, and put you on the driver seat right!
