TOPICS
1- CONTEXT AWARENESS
2- TIPS FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
1- CONTEXT AWARENESS
• It does not matter if you have the best idea, the best technology, or the best
team—a business or project idea needs to be innovative and adaptable to
specific contexts in order to succeed.
• Know your context and know your situation, by identifying the issues and
developing a clear, adaptable solution.
• Be professional- in how you dress, in how you carry yourself, and in how you
conduct business.
• Be honest- even with yourself.
• There is no single strategy or path to success. Do not follow one path and do
not ‘copy and paste’ another model to fit your situation. Be creative and
remember your context.
• Always be adaptable and willing to learn.

business plan to realities on the ground.
