Knowledge Base, How to Start....
|
Knowledge Base section covers information from real life experience of entrepreneurs on how they started their business and achieved success. Lessons learned from failures and what to avoid.
Similarly, to start a professional services firm and to make career choices, every one needs guidance.
Our site includes the major fields of practical choices that cover Entrepreneurs and their products, professionals and their services and corporate executives and their career choices.
Here we are gathering experience and knowledge base of real time entrepreneurs, professionals and executives on how they achieved success and how they handled failures.
Every failure is a lesson learned.....it is not meant to drag you down, it is not meant to make you lose hope....it only teaches you what not to do the next time around....
Each segment brings a wealth of knowledge as we use the experience of these accomplished women of Pakistan....the ones you are not aware of ...the ones who have contributed tremendously to their families, communities and the economy..... to learn from for a better life.
The knowledge base has been put together to cover each segment i.e. guidelines and courses for:
1. Women Entrepreneurs
2. Professionals
3. Corporate careers
As we enter our chosen field we tend to go through a series of trial and errors. We waste time - our most important and irreplaceable resource and money - and don't forget HOPE!
There are very simple basics to achieve success in each field. We have tried to compile a basic checklist to help in preparing the aspirants to minimize their chances of failure.
Entrepreneurs and Businesswomen
This segment of knowledge base covers a series of indepth reviews from the actual experience of women who opted for business. Many of these were born into business families... that gave them a boost as that provided the set up and foundation that is usually hard to achieve on ones own efforts. That, of course, does not mean that they had it any easier!! Far from it, as they had to go the extra mile even at home to make their worth understood. In a patriarchal society it is not an easy feat.
Then there are the entrepreneurial segment...these women decided to take up a passion that they could earn a living from. Intelligent by nature, they on their own followed the path that made sense....doing something they enjoyed ......
A little note here... remember, take advice from someone who has actually done that business... Why is it that to train doctors there are senior doctors, for engineers-senior engineers.....then why for entrepreneurs there are only non-business people???
Avoid advice from non-entrepreneurs....you will be misled. Another favorite buzz word in our country is 'hand-holding for women' ...... what does it mean? Who is 'holding' their hand and to lead where? Are they experienced in business themselves have they ever faced a fragment of adversity that one has to manage once in business? So, please, drop that hand that tries to hold yours, you will be misled up the 'garden path' that is not the real world...
Have you noticed how well those have performed whose 'hands' were not 'held'. If you need somebody to hold your hand and lead you then forget about doing business. You need facilitators who have actually been through the grind and learned the hard way....they would never hold your hand but let you learn on your own and provide the best tools for it. One can never over emphasize the importance of knowledge base to succeed in any endeavor that you embark upon.
Check out the SBI website...it has all that you need and gets you going on doing it yourself. That is real help and that is the way to build a solid foundation....
We are adding their fantastic books here for all to learn from...
