I like the phrase in the video above by jean “women are agents of change” never a truer word spoken. Women do seem to be more dedicated to business than men and thats a fact. The business area is changing and I am sure it has to do with rise of the woman

]]> Comment on Barriers to Women’s Entrepreneurship in Pakistan by Alycia Kaback http://www.cipe.org/blog/2013/03/11/barriers-to-womens-entrepreneurship-in-pakistan/comment-page-1/#comment-116885 Alycia Kaback Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:41:05 +0000 http://www.cipe.org/blog/?p=13621#comment-116885 What i can say about this article is “Unbelievable”.

Your opening remarks are quite bang-on: Confidence is the number 1 killer for many women! And what I have found about mentors, is that, as you say, the mentors are quite willing; the challenge lies in the woman SEEKING the mentor. She usually gets mired in doubt and asks herself “What could possibly be in it for them” and then doesn’t put the call out. So really it ties back to the first point, a lack of confidence!

Anyway, I am also an entrepreneur of modeling industry and like to connect with those who are new entrepreneurs to share our views with each other. Here is some existence over net and you are invited to visit.

Best regards,
Alycia Kaback

Georgian democracy has been in a freefall since the election. First thing Georgia Dream did was let their thugs out of prisons and now they’re wreaking havoc on the country. Saakashvili, who is still the president, by the way, couldn’t even give a speech without them causing problems. You are supporting the wrong side, folks. They are not democrats.

]]> Comment on What Are Entrepreneurs Like? by Ali Akbar http://www.cipe.org/blog/2013/02/04/what-are-entrepreneurs-like/comment-page-1/#comment-116858 Ali Akbar Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:11:07 +0000 http://www.cipe.org/blog/?p=13298#comment-116858 Moin Sb, there are many people in Pakistan who already are an entrepreneur in one way or the other… and they don’t depend on approaching financial institutions for the simple reason, that these financial institutions require a lot of paper work, guarantees, collateral and political connections. Strange and shocking enough to read on what basis are you claiming that the initial results are encouraging. Please talk in numbers and not vaguely describe the achievements that most Pakistanis do to boast their achievements. The classic example is this blog which has posted the statistics – and that is how it should be.

]]> Comment on Changing the Rules of the Game: Crowdfunding and Entrepreneurship by Lee http://www.cipe.org/blog/2013/02/21/changing-the-rules-of-the-game-crowdfunding-and-entrepreneurship/comment-page-1/#comment-116846 Lee Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:55:09 +0000 http://www.cipe.org/blog/?p=13506#comment-116846 I think #crowdfunding has the potential to change lives. Due to the financial crisis, the aid to Africa has reduced. There needed to be an alternative way to raise funds for development. That best alternative is devhope.com. The social network transfers services, not money to fund development projects. It is also an online shop. Through contributory purchase on devhope.com, all our actions indirectly fund projects. Solidarity is the motto at devhope.com. For more, go to http://devhope.com/rubrique/index.php?d=Devhope.Institution&actu=3115
