Bedtime stories for sleep less entrepreneurs

Bedtime stories for sleep less entrepreneurs

Abstract / Description

We learn through stories. Stories teach us important lessons and principles, which can be grasped in a more nuanced manner than from a lecture. This collection of stories, rooted in Pakistani entrepreneurial behavior, allows the reader to see themselves and their culture in the context of success. Too many entrepreneur text books or the stories that are told to entrepreneurship classrooms are rooted in a different reality, a different cultural narrative than the average Pakistani student will ever experience.

This can make the goal of entrepreneurship seem out of reach. Well, that simply is not true. We all have entrepreneurial opportunities. Those opportunities just need to be placed within the context of who we are and where we live.

Najam Anjum does a wonderful job of bringing relevant stories and examples to the reader of this book. There are many lessons in these stories. Lessons that will allow a person to learn important traits and qualities to become an entrepreneur in Pakistan.
