Nice Article. Definitely a motivating stuff for new-comers. But, I’d disagree with Umair at one point where he thinks
“hiding a good idea for fear that it will be unjustly taken from you or copied. He says there is nothing further from the truth, you need to talk to as many people about your idea as possible. If the idea is weak and it can be copied easily then it is not worth investing your time on it.”
I must say that there are some ideas which are so simple that they can easily be copied and implemented. The only thing is that not anyone had thought about it before you did. So sharing is good .. but with ‘anyone’ ..!!! I don’t agree.

Mr Awan, I really enjoyed reading this, it was inspiring! But regardless, the idealism shown still makes me doubt the idea of entrepreneurship in our country. So I am eagerly waiting for your next article with “an entrepreneur who started a startup in Pakistan and raised money in Pakistan”, though I really hope its not the person who I’m afraid it might be….
