Destiny of Pakistan lies in your hands! Pakistan ke Qismat aap ke hath mein hey!

There are many young and dynamic people in Pakistan who want to make a positive impact on society, serve their families and country, and earn a good living. I am always promoting a culture of entrepreneurship, where everyone is encouraged to start their own business and achieve financial success. This is what our Islam says!

Many young people are looking for small business ideas that require low investment. To help them, we have compiled a list of small business ideas with high profit potential. These ideas are also suitable for college students, housewives, and women. Including those sitting idle doing nothing because one family member earns and other enjoy, my friends that is hidden poverty keeping us hand to mouth it is harming us unknowingly like Termites eating wood from within. Paint a bigger picture and think how Pakistanis are themselves have become Termites! That is the reason we are born with loan repayments on our heads.

I believe that the future of Pakistan lies in the hands of its young and energetic youth. They need guidance and support to channel their energies in the right direction. As the saying goes, “Crying is easy, but once you have food on your plate, you stop crying.” We will discuss later inequalities and how unemployment damages a society in form of theft, bribery, unrest, use of drugs and family destruction.

Now just think of emotional youth involved in short cuts to make money or vent out their frustration! Perhaps you will find around you so called, “Road Burners” I mean One-Wheeler Motor Cyclist, groups of drug user “Jehaz without Wings”, Prostitution, Begging on every signal and shop. What have you wanted to do with them?

I hope that proposed list of small business ideas will inspire youth people in Pakistan to start their own businesses and achieve their dreams. There are many ideas to get you started. With hard work and dedication, you can start your own successful business and achieve your goals.

Remember, due to our 76 years long run like headless chicken we don’t have direction, destiny and righteous leader, Pakistanis are kept deprived of their resources! Surprisingly we have found that Pakistan an agricultural country importing pulses, edible oil, canned food (milk for babies and special food our pets including cats and dogs), Oil to energy generating power stations, coal instead of locally mined coal. What is the reason? Deliberate efforts, mafias controlling Pakistan Businesses? Why Pakistan is kept as raw materials hub without industry that can create jobs and employment.

Until recently your raw precious stones were sold in Thailand with 10 times more price! Similarly, Italians sold your marble on very higher prices. Your salt branded by Indians and Pakistanis remained sleeping! Your national institutions are recruiting and favoring grounds for political bribe for party workers at the expense of Pakistan!

Why, Why and Why, just think. Think Big! Meditation or Muraqbah is our beloved prophet’s sunnah! Are you following him as your ideal? Are you obeying Allah to follow prophet’s Serah? Think, why we do not Think!  Nike says, Let’s Do It!

Iqbal says, Afrad ke haath mein hey aqwam ke takdeer…. Har fard hey milat ke muqadar ke sitara. Are you the one?

One corer Pakistani send money to families and Governments borrow money from IMF and other monetary institutions to run the country… should it continue, or we must challenge and change to be stand as donator and thriving society instead Begger nation or starring in the sky for Allah’s helps, “He helps to those who help themselves.”

Don’t you think?  that Pakistan needs to change its economic model and become more self-reliant but that will happen when you are individually self-reliant. The current situation, where we are overseas sending billions of dollars in remittances to our families and borrowing money from international institutions, is not sustainable. We need to create an environment where businesses can thrive and create jobs.

The proposed business ideas will all be independent of geographical restrictions and market scenarios. This means that they can be successful in any part of Pakistan. However, it is important to do your research and choose a business that is right for you and your skills. These business ideas are independent of geographical restrictions and market scenarios. Be it Dalbadeen, Saeela, Bajwala, Landi kotal, Kashmore, Karachi, Multan, Kot Adu, Chotallah, Bimla, Biance or Sundhar, Jhelum, or Lahore these business ideas will work everywhere.

We must create belief that if we all work together, we can create a better future for ourselves that means our homeland Pakistan. We need to be more entrepreneurial and take charge of our own destiny. We need to stop to be called “the beggar nation” relying on others and start helping ourselves.

If we work hard and persevere, I am confident that we can achieve our goals.

Here are some additional things that Pakistan can do to change its economic model:

• Invest in education and skills training. This will create a more skilled workforce that can compete in the global economy.
• Improve the business climate. This includes reducing red tape, providing access to credit, and protecting property rights.
• Promote innovation. This can be done by investing in research and development and creating a culture of entrepreneurship.
• Attract foreign investment. This can bring in new technology and expertise, which can help to boost the economy.

There are thousands of opportunities that can be categorized every business idea based on its type and investment required. The list also includes part-time, home-based, and online business ideas. We will share these small business ideas and shortlist one or two based on your skill, business potential, and investment required. Further we need you to be involved in asking questions about how to do small business. How to conduct SWOT Analysis or Surveys, Pre-Feasibility Preparation, Operational Strategies, Financial Understanding with constructive exchange of views i.e., Brain Storming for a thriving and futurist Pakistan.

I believe instead of looking for help from others if we take the right steps and initiatives, we can achieve economic prosperity.  It needs hard work and dedication; we can make Pakistan Japan, China, America, Dubai and Germany. We must commit to help each other’s to achieve our individual and collective goals.

We will communicate and discuss business ideas, based on your eagerness to learn, learnt skills, interests, and the investment you are determined to make.

I have belief and extremely excited to work with you to create a thriving and futurist Pakistan.
