This provision is included in the Talkshow entitled Character Mindset and Skill Entrepreneur which discusses how to prepare the mentality and skills to become a young entrepreneur. The briefing of AWMM participants was carried out on Monday (23/9/2024) on the 2nd floor of the Auditorium Building.
Director of Educational Cooperation Oke Oce Abba Zubair Al Awwam advised students to have the main mentality, which is never to be afraid to start.
“My first message is never to be afraid to start. Before continuing, we will talk about the method, how to have integrity. That will be the first key, never to be afraid to start,” he concluded.
Starting and progressing to become an entrepreneur cannot be separated from the consequences when jumping in. With the consequences and challenges that are not suppressed, according to Abba Zubair Al Awwam, therefore it is necessary to train a strong mentality in order to get through the Mental Crisis.
