Mini Report
On 6th March, we went to “Go Youth 2.0” events that were held at Kolej Tun Razak’s hall. This
was the second time this event has been conducted as the first one was 2 years ago. There were 2
sessions of talk that was organized by the organizer. The first session of the talk focused on the skills
and qualifications that acquired to develop the Entrepreneurial mindset. This topic was delivered by Datin
Fouziah Gous, CEO of FG Walet Bird Nest.
FG Walet is a business platform to spread the passion of healthy living by discovering the wholesome
the goodness of bird’s nest consumption and made it a mission to share these beliefs with society. She
shared with the students throughout the journey of her early involvement in the business world, the
development of her own business and her life experiences that will give us the idea on how to
develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
The second session of the talk is mainly in developing your passion and your expertise in
related fields. The first panelist of the forum is Mr. Arif Tukiman, CEO & Co-founder of
a software development house based in Cyberjaya. Mr. Arif stated that whatever business that you
want to venture in, you need to find the best goal not only in short term (2-5 years) but also in the
long term (7-15 years). He also said that being a profitable and rich company is not a strong goal
to begin your business as people become more intelligent and creative but they do not have a
proper mindset. Therefore, many young entrepreneurs are having difficulties in the first few years
in business. Mr. Arif also said that we need to aim our goal higher than what we can achieve so
that we will work hard to accomplish it even though it might seem impossible.
The forum continues with the second panelist, Mr. Bryan Chua, who is the founder of
Nescafe @ UTM. Mr. Bryan gave a few good pieces of advice on how to stand out from the other
entrepreneurs. Having a bright idea and innovation itself does not bring success, but you also
need a good business module on how to sell and market your innovation so that it can be a great
success for your business. Sometimes, you need to pitch the idea of innovation with several
expertise so that you are able to sell the idea to specific markets. His motivation for continuing as
an entrepreneur is to focus and give attention to what you are doing so that if you drifted away
from your goals, you need to find the motivation back so that you can be on the right track.
