    This week's questions comes from Lloyd, he asks “What’s a personal brand, does it mean one has to be an influencer?”. A question I’ve been wanting to answer for a long time.

One of the best examples of personal brands I could point out is Gary Vaynerchuk. The hustle guy, who speaks about entrepreneurship out loud I hope you find these tips useful and you put them to use.

    Episode 05 : Crushing your next job interview

    This episode is going to be an effort to ease off the pressure off the students applying for jobs or have interviews scheduled. Interviews can be daunting but I’d like to share a few insights to make the interview a bit less daunting. If you follow well, you might actually stand a chance to nudge the interview in your favor. This week's questions comes from Margaery, she asks “How do I prepare myself to win an interview.P.s.: Not college placements.” Over the course of 3 years running my startup I’ve come across 100+ CVs and trust me they are terrible. But, since I’ve been through the same system myself, I don’t blame the students for such terrible CVs. When I interviewed for my first only internship in 2016, I had a terrible CV but the founder took a chance on me and hired me on board as a junior web designer that started my journey to become who I am today. Listen for my 7 insights. This is your host Ashley Dsouza, thanks for tuning in this week's episode, if you liked it, share it on your social media and help this podcast grow.

    Episode 02 : Should I drop out and pursue my dreams?

    This week's question comes from Joviet, and he asks “Should i drop out of college and pursue my dreams or struggle in college till I lose interest in my dream”. It is a pretty straight forward question. But the answer isn’t. Let’s start by asking you, how much do you believe yourself that you will make the dream work. Is it something that you came up overnight? Will the dream last three years? Do you believe that this product idea or the service startup itself, even though it's still an idea? Let’s set some ground rules, before you quit your college and pursue your dream : Validating your idea (Did i validate my idea, does it exist, how different are you) Cost of making it real (How much of my pocket money will it cost me, do you possess the money needed, do you have arrangements) Should sustain for 3 years minimum (Do i have a 3 year plan charted down?) If all three ground rules are checked out, go ahead and quit your college. If not let’s get to work. Once alt these three ground rules are set, you hit the benchmark to a sustainable business venture. Use your 3-4 years of your college polishing your idea and checking out all these three ground rules, so that as you graduate you have a full proof plan on how to go ahead and take your startup full time. I started my startup when I was in my second year of engineering. I validated my service ideas in October 2016, invested a basic amount and registered my startup in December 2016. In three years time my goal was to design and develop products for foreign country clients. And i'm proud to say this, I’ve managed to meet my 3 year goal that i set in 2016. I did all this without quitting college. If i can pull off a successful startup business despite being in college and get called out for class attendance being below 50%. I still got through and I know you will too.
