Entrepreneurship is when you recognize an opportunity and have the vision and ambition to
pursue it. It is an innovation locomotion that when given the right parts, such as passion,
knowledge, and experience becomes an unstoppable force that serves to benefit its community.
It is about being unorthodox, unafraid to take a leap, and to do so with drive and clarity. This
program has engaged and empowered me to seek out opportunities and has given me the keys
to success in my endeavors. With its integrative approach to entrepreneurship and focus in
technology and business, I will have the knowhow to be a successful businessman.
The program's diverse aspects greatly enhanced my learning experience and lifted the ceiling of
opportunities available to me. Entrepreneurship is not just a business method, it is a lifestyle
that takes dedication and enrichment. Which is just what this program offers. The
Entrepreneurship program, with all of the real-life projects that are a part of the classes, has
given me the unique skills and experiences necessary to run organization. The Center for
Entrepreneurship has provided me with a unique, unprecedented learning experience and set of
skills that I feel confident will translate into real world achievement.
The program successfully teaches me to apply knowledge in business, life sciences, and other
fields to create value in new and existing ventures. This is a useful course to know what to need
to be focused before starting my own business. Actually I own my business myself. There are
few effective sights which gave me big hints to let me think wide view about future business. .A
good summary of all the major concepts that I have learnt in my BBA.
This course is very informative and specifically helped me in learning some ideas on how I
should be starting my business. Its quite interesting and an eye opener for those of us who
didn't have prior knowledge of business process in detail. Learning at my own pace was fun as
well. I think its right because the application of entrepreneurship helps people skip employees
to become employers.
The course was to me a sneak-peek into the future. Sitting in class and attempting to tackle
some tough dilemmas that successful entrepreneurs had to deal with in the past helped prepare
me to build my own company and saved me from making (at least some...) mistakes. The
course is professionally crafted and fascinatingly taught by Dr. Naveed enthusiastically and
motivational behavior to guide straight towards taking successful step in entrepreneurial life.
Every activity performed in the class like pictorial idea gave me a new way to covey my ideas.

Besides from the course topics, other helping material that incudes case studies of every topic
that we discussed in the course gave us real time scenario that how we can relate that topic to
practical business life. These case studies really helped us a lot to understand the basic
underlying core issues, concepts and ideas. Case discussion and opportunities to voice an
opinion encouraged me to think in class instead of being a passive participant.
Other entrepreneurial activities that have been performed by me includes Success Story and
Business Plan. While writing a Success Story about an entrepreneur I really did come to know
how a person did evaluate the real time need and find a gap and his toilsome work towards
filling this gap by an innovative idea and then how did he met his goals. Purpose of all that work
was to differentiate between businessman and an entrepreneur and to give us realization that
how an entrepreneur can find an opportunity.
Writing a business plan and presenting that was another milestone for me. That activity has just
revised all other basic topics and concepts that must be remembered while starting an
enterprise or any kind of new venture. Different kinds of marketing strategies should be chosen
in various business stages and situations, managing finance and human resources, getting a
competitive edge and sustaining it, worth of intellectual property in business, social contacts that
must be maintained while starting a venture and all other basic things and concepts were the
core part of that plan. While presenting we came to know about all flaws and shortcomings while
we committed in writing. That was a tough time, but in comparison to what we learn, toughness
was proved to be nothing but a mere encouragement.
This subject doesnt only let me aware from the entrepreneurial activity in private sector, but
also gave me concepts of entrepreneurship in public and social sectors in form of civic
entrepreneur and social entrepreneur also. In other words simply this subject has motivated me
to passionately and enthusiastically seek new ways of entering in the successful business
world. Now I can differentiate the life style of and employee and employer. This subject has
totally changed my mind that its better to be own boss and better to do work for myself rather
than to be employee of others and to fulfil dreams of others.
At the last I want to thank you my respected Sir Naveed for your kind favor that you have given
your precious time in our career growth and development. No more words but I just want to say
that you have just summarized all of our main subjects we have studied till now and have
directed us towards our destination by giving meaning to our meaning less dreams.
Thank you Sir!
