3. What is an opportunity?
• In a business sense, it is an idea
that has commercial potential.
• Something you can make money
with, develop a business around
it, or create value with it.
4. Before Entrepreneurship
• How can we open new business in
Nepal?
• Haven we discovered everything
already? Are the products are perfect
already?
• Is it too crowded already for a new
enterprise?
• How can you survive as a new
enterprise?
5. And the Answer is
• Really, we don’t know.
• If we go through the process, maybe we will know.
• More often, the answer is in YOU!
• Opportunity presents itself WHEN YOU ARE READY.
