Entrepreneur Motivational Training

Introduction
This module was taught by Mrs. Rita Sengupta for three days from 4th to 6th April 2009. She made them think in such a way that all their knowledge and imagination comes to mind. Fellows wrote what they felt about the activity which was assigned. EMT session was totally interactive and fellows actively participated and enjoyed learning.
Module Description
Mrs. Rita Sengupta started the class with a story about team participation. Then asked to make groups. They played game called “Treasure Hunt”. This activity made them to think critically as it was tricky. It was done to know that how well fellows can execute their ideas and thoughts in a short time. Later fellows wrote about themselves. It was all about their goals, strengths, experiences, and weaknesses. Then showed pictures and asked the participant to write story on it with imagination.
The instructor discussed achievement imagery, goal setting and steps to be followed to achieve the goal. Then fellows participated in ‘Tower Building’ game in which three people are involved. It was so exciting that the builder was following the other two person’s directions and putting the wooden cubes one upon the other. The theme was to analyze imagination and how well the guide directs and at the same time how well the builder judges it.
Key Points
The speaker discussed various aspects such as creative thinking, motivation, self confidence and introspection, planning and target setting, decision making and team work. These are the main qualities that make any task to win and there are eleven points in achievement imagery. They are need (n), activity (act), goal anticipation (ga+ and ga-), feelings (+ve and –ve), blocks/problems (BP and BW), help and achievement thema (ach th) altogether these are called as achievement imagery which leads towards success.
Learning
I learnt that success depends on one’s efforts including one’s plans to achieve the goal. If I am able to manage and commit to hard work then definitely there is no chance of failure. I always hope positive result and this module taught me being confident and one has to think logically before acting.

About Entrepreneurial Activity
Today I did an entrepreneurial activity. Here in Dharwad a conference was conducted on world peace and terrorism control .I saw a banner on the wall and got curious about the matter and went inside and sat. Around 1 O’clock organizer announced invitees to have lunch arranged here. When I came out from the hall I met a person who was known to me. He was serving food there, while talking to him he told me that is there any person to supply tea in the evening. And I thought this is the right opportunity for entrepreneurial activity. I asked him that I will prepare and supply tea. He agreed and told that bring about 100 cups of tea. I will pay you Rs 200-00 and I went with tea carrier and tea cups. And I gave him, he paid the amount. I got Rs 50-00 as profit. Like this I succeeded in this entrepreneurial activity.

About Leadership activities
Leaders: Lingaraj and Hanamanth
Followers: Devadanam and Jagadeesh
Myself and Hanamanth both went with our team of 4 members to pre-matric Govt girls hostel at Unkal cross on 26th January to perform Leadership activity on the eve of republic day.
Our motto was to motivate them towards studies and to make them sincere about schooling.We encouraged them to have that passion to learn and inculcate the reading habit.We played two videos before them and explained about it so that they can get inspired by these videos and be cheerful throughout the day.
I quoted an example of Wilma Rudolf who was polio affected in her child hood but later she come over of it by daily practicing and won 3gold medals in Olympics. This was influenced them to work hard and never give up the confidence and hope of victory. Hanamanth sang a patriotic song and made them to sing. He also told some interesting stories.
