Besides being a student of iLEAD and an aspiring entrepreneur, I am also a part of a PropTech company where I serve the role of Graphics Designer. I personally think, if you desire and set an aim of doing it, no matter how you will do it. I personally want to thank all my faculty members of iLEAD for being so helpful which helps me a lot to manage my studies, my business and also my job.
7. Anything else that you would like to say related to your entrepreneurial experience?
I personally think entrepreneurship allows you to learn how to communicate, behave, manage tremendous pressure and still don’t leave a single stone unturned. I have taken interviews, did meetings with personnel much more qualified and with big brands for partnerships, and all it does beside grow your company is to learn from people with diverse groups. It teaches me cultural sensitivity and allows me to establish team cohesiveness. Moreover, it helps me to become a better human being and helps me gather real-life experience.
