12% of students fear to fail.

One of You wrote:

Michael Jordan said:

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

From now on, this will be your breakfast!

If you have a dream, an ambition, a passion,

don't be afraid to fail dont listen to anyone who tells you that you cant do this or that

follow your dreams

An example?

When he was a young boy, Thomas Edisons parents pulled him out of school after teachers called him

stupid and unteachable

But Edison never deterred from his true passion:INVENTING

Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Someone else?

Walter Elias Disney

As a young man, W. Elias was fired from the Kansas City Star Newspaper because his boss thought

he lacked creativity
He had no money: he could barely pay his rent and even resorted to eating dog food.

 In 1926, Disney created a cartoon character named Oswald the Rabbit. When he attempted to negotiate a better deal with Universal Studios , Disney discovered that Universal had

secretly patented the Oswald character

He was told Mickey Mouse would

fail because the mouse

would terrify women

Pinocchio was shut down during production and Disney had to rewrite the entire storyline

and today

NO MONEY?

The 50% of You is scared about not having money

The 10% of You think not to be enough experienced

One of You wrote

I think I wont be able to start my own business because the first thing I need is capital. I also need a lot of experience and for that I have to work first in an organization.

The thing is that the first thing You need is not money
What you need are

ideas

J.K. Rowling

Seven years after graduating from university, Rowling saw herself as "the biggest failure I knew. o her marriage had failed and her mother had just passed away from multiple sclerosis o she was jobless with a dependent child: she was surviving on government subsidies

she had no money

She was diagnosed with clinical depression, and contemplated suicide

A DISASTER?NO, A FORTUNE

J.K. turned these negatives into a positive by devoting most of her free time to the Harry Potter series

And today?

She is the second-richest female on the planet

We also have a different solution for lack of money and experience.

This man can take care of these issues but only if YOUR IDEA is great!
I know He doesnt seem so serious but trust me for a second

Who is this man?

He is an Angel Investor:
An affluent individual who provides capital for a Business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership Equity, and He also share his experience and network.

Why would someone be interested in investing in a start-up risking his capital?

Is He dumb?

NO WAY!
Angel investors are often retired entrepreneurs who may be interested in angel investing for reasons that go beyond pure monetary return as: The desire of risk

The wish to develop one certain business area

The purpose of mentoring another generation of entrepreneurs

Where Can I find an Angel Investor in India?

Is it not enough?

WHO IS HE? He only had an idea

He was adopted He dropped out of college because it was too expensive and his family had no money He slept on the floor in friends' rooms He had no money ever to buy food He traveled to India in mid-1974 to visit Neem Karoli Baba and here he lived for 7 months He became a practitioner of Zen Buddhism He started his work in his parents garage After ten years his company blossomed into a $2 billion empire

company he created. Jobs found himself

unemployed

NeXT was subsequently purchased by Apple. Not only did Jobs go back to his former company, but he helped launch Apples current resurgence in popularity

 In December 2010, the Financial Times named Jobs its person of the year for 2010 In March 2012, global business magazine Fortune named Steve Jobs the "greatest entrepreneur of our time", describing him as "brilliant, visionary, inspiring", and "the quintessential entrepreneur of our generation

The 14% of You is scared to be a woman

One of You wrote:

I cant open my own company because since Im a woman it is very difficult to do It in India. Because a woman in real life could not be seen as a female enterprenuer and there are a lot of barriers. Family conflicts also give a lot of problems when after marriage a woman has to look after her family

Proud to be a woman
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand. Susan B. Anthony

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her. Mahatma Gandhi
