 I am a businessperson, and I am also a teacher. Entrepreneurship has piqued my interest since doing an entrepreneurship course for my undergraduate studies. I have been an entrepreneur; I have had businesses. I have also made various efforts to streamline my family business. All the while, I have been engaged in endeavors to guide my students through the path of entrepreneurship by my teachings with in-class exercises and integration of new entrepreneurial methods, such as lean start-up. Self-development is critical when one is thriving for leadership and success, so I spend my free time reading self-help books and learning from different online masterclasses.
