you can start young

-

Whether you’re just beginning your career or looking to do something different, offer your services as a consultant in your industry of interest — it’s a great way to build your entreprene­urial portfolio. Go electronic a great barter is your time for someone’s money. you can offer to scan someone’s documents and pictures for what is pocket change to them. but, remember you’re an entreprene­ur. so, dream a little bigger! offer your services to an office or ask your ‘clients’ for a referral in exchange for a discount from you. social media for busy profession­als simple things you do online everyday are research topics for big firms. as a start, offer to teach someone how to use social media and then set your sights higher. propose to manage the social media accounts of companies that inspire you. Do what you love …and never work a day in your life. sounds familiar? try it! design jewellery, bake cupcakes, write codes, tinker with drones, click pictures, and pretty much take notice of what you enjoy doing. build your portfolio, find a way to sell your creations online or in your community, and become the expert in your field. Weekend events if you love talking to people, enjoy planning a day out with your friends, and notice the little details at an event, you have all the makings of an event manager. We’re not suggesting a mere birthday party; pick a niche like gaming, weddings, theatre or even a whole travel plan. start small take small steps towards your big dream. this is the mantra teen karting racer mateo moussaoui follows as well. “When i have some free time, i wash cars in my compound, to get some pocket money. i have been doing this for seven years now. i know a lot of really nice people in my compound and i love doing anything to do with cars,” he says. are you the next elon musk?
