Entrepreneurship : Experience Sharing Session with university students

I believe that we need to educate our next generation not only entrepreneur skill but also entrepreneur mindset and we need to start developing these skills early in their educations. Based on that philosophy, I embark on a mission to expose entrepreneurship skills and mindset to university students.

We cannot have another generation that trying to living in the comfort of salaried job. This is one of the reasons why we are trapped in the middle income. It is pertinent that we inculcate the discipline, persistent, and the passion in these students to start their own business; testing the boundaries, getting out from the middle-income trap.

Why our experience sharing sessions are different?

As the name suggest, it is an experience sharing session. The other holds seminar, dishing out theories. We on the other hands bring real life entrepreneurs, with practical solutions. 

I am quite picky on the choice of speakers. I do not want to invite highly successful but older speakers. I rather have young and ambitious entrepreneurs to speak to the students. Young entrepreneurs may not be that successful but I want someone who the students can relate to, and someone who can ‘speak’ the language of the Gen Y. Basically, the students will learn “from one of them”. It is pure common sense; youngsters will listen to their peers, not from 50 plus year old dinosaurs.

We keep the number of audience in small number. Hence, the session will be more interactive. Students will be actively involved in the sessions.

What’s the impact?

I received positive feedbacks from the students. Due to the good response, it motivates us to organize more sessions in the future. After series of experience sharing sessions, some are inspired to start their own business; some are inspired to pursue their dreams. Good vibes so far.

That’s is our intention: to inspire.
