Follow your Passion and Success will automatically follow
Entrepreneurship is not a fad or fashion to follow
It is never too late for anything for a person who is desiring for
something new to achieve.
Once you startup never look back.
Choosing the field is very vital – there must be huge market and
potential.
Gain few years of work experience before plunging.
Luck!
Long association with trusted partners...

of three is not an option.”

You want to stay in business, you do every bit of business that comes

?NEVER!”

12. Conclusion
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t b trapped by DOGMA, which is living with the result of other people’s
thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart & intuition.
They already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.
