Some course mates have a business mindset. Around the hostels or in the lecture halls, you’ll
see them presenting one product or service with the hopes of expanding their profit margin and
customer base.
Does any of your course mates possess the following skills? Then they’re likely to become
entrepreneurs after school.
1. He/she already has a business running in school
A good number of business inclined students would have already kicked off a small scale trade e.g. selling recharge
cards, clothes, shoes, makeup, weave and hair products etc.
2. Strong communication skills
These set of students want their colleagues to check out
the merchandise/services they offer and are always happy to get referrals and meet
potential customers. The know just how to pitch the right benefits of their goods.
3. Always samples and advertises his/her product
We have that one course mate who rocks his/her products like outfits, perfumes, makeup etc. They’re basically a walking billboard
displaying their product or service.
4. Has a business mogul as mentor/role model

They familiarize themselves with people/experts within the niche of that business they’re into and make them godparents
or mentors.
5. Has good business skills: Students who have good marketing skills like up-selling,
cross-selling and value customer relationship are likely to pursue entrepreneurship after
