2. INTRODUCTION
• College time is undoubtedly the best time one can have
in life. But the notion of calling it a ‘fun time’is soon
changing with many student entrepreneurs coming
forward with extraordinary ideas and making college
life a ‘serious stuff’.
• Today, things have drastically changed and by the time
college kids’graduate they own startups or small to
medium sized businesses.
• If you ever plan to live like an entrepreneur then you
must consider starting up in college itself and here are
8 solid reasons to justify as to why one has to launch a
startup during college days.
3. IT’S ALL FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably college might be the only
place in the world where everything
comes in free and in abundance. At
college, there is no need for you to
think about the expenses related to
rent and maintenance.
If you need to conduct meetings then
there are
libraries, auditoriums, empty class
rooms and cafeteria.
As an added advantage colleges also
provide free internet and other
valuable softwares along with great
inputs and guidance from professors
and other subject specified faculties.
4. The unleashing phase
College-time is perhaps the only phase
when humans are active the most. Creativity
of a person improves and increases during
college due to the environment it creates
with like-minded individuals.
First of all there is no fear as you do not have
anything to lose and hence experiment to
the fullest.
In a college environment students are free from
hindrances by parents and relatives and
hence can think broadly and experiment.
Since the age group would be anywhere
between 18 to 26, the young mind will
always be thirsty for more knowledge and
students can make use of this as well.
5. Nothing to lose
It’s in fact a fact that there is nothing for
you to lose if you go wrong during
college. Since the startup would not
have much money invested and since
everything is done in a secured
environment there is no fear of loss.
Hence this can be considered as a perfect
phase for student entrepreneurs to
experiment and collaborate with many
other likeminded students where salary
has no priority at all. May be the next
Bill Gates or Steve Jobs will be born!
6. Friends with benefits
If you are determined and confident that
you will launch a startup after graduating
then, it is necessary for you to be
prepared to face the challenging world.
You can train yourself by dealing with
various students with different mindset
and wavelength and get work out of them.
This in turn will help you face the
competitive world boldly and with more
confidence. On the other hand you are
also developing your friend by
understanding his potentiality. In
short, you are playing a perfect
entrepreneur!
7. Oh’ I am a star!
So once you do all of this you can
actually sit back and relax as it is the
media which will take it forward from
there. Everybody loves to hear success
stories and especially the ones that
happen in schools and colleges.
You will get tremendous amount of coverage
and will also be given a lot of honors and
awards.
But always remember to welcome feedbacks
politely as those feedbacks directly or
indirectly decides if you are worth being
an entrepreneur in the future or no.
