Vasenta Selvanayagam Shares How, With the Help of Technology, It Is Possible for Anyone to Gain Confidence to Do What Their Heart Desires, and Also Highlights How One Should Still Practice Basic Professionalism When They’re on Top of the Ladder.
To many of us, starting a business might seem like a dream that has struck our minds in the past, but actually turning the ideas into reality isn’t something that a lot of us end up doing. Most of the time, it all boils down to one factor that stops us from making that move – the confidence we have inside us to get out of our comfort zone. Look around you or just try looking it up on the web and you’d see that there are many young people from different backgrounds who have gone the extra mile to set up their own businesses. Most of these young entrepreneurs have decided to take that leap of faith thanks to the apps and technology that are available in the market.
