SUMMARY:Commercial Real Estate Investing
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Nadir Dhanani presented a topic on Commercial Real Estate Investing\, at a WZCC Houston Chapter event on August 26\, 2015. About 30 years ago\, Mr. Dhanani started as a cashier at a gas station and worked his way to becoming a very successful real estate investor. He has invested in gas station/fast food combination locations\, shopping strips\, and commercial buildings\, and is currently developing two hotel properties. He provided very detailed insights into different types of commercial real estate investments such as medical facilities\, shopping strips\, buildings\, hotels\, land\, etc. and he discussed the return on investment that can be expected for the various investments. He also discussed how to obtain bank loans\, the business entities that can be set up for partnerships\, the typical items that should be included in tenant leases\, and the types of expenses that can be incurred by the property owners. He also compared commercial real estate investing to residential property investments and Real Estate Investment Trusts. The presentation was very well received by the attendees with a long Q&A session.

SUMMARY:A Event On Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:The Houston Chapter of WZCC holds dinner events for its members several times a year featuring distinguished speakers from various disciplines. The speakers are carefully chosen for their expertise in topics that help our members in their profession\, business\, or personal lives. \nOn March 10\, 2016 the Houston Chapter of WZCC presented Dr. Bahadur Sarkari\, M.D.\, a distinguished psychiatrist with a long and successful clinical practice in London and the U.S. Dr. Sarkari is double Board Certified − in Adult Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. \nIn his one-hour presentation titled: “All You Wanted to Know About Mental Health But Were Afraid to Ask”\, Dr. Sarkari kept the audience totally engaged with fascinating myths\, facts\, and actual cases of the wide variety of disorders that make up mental illness. In a very well organized talk\, Bahadur Sarkari exposed the myths and wrong attitudes people have towards mental disorders. The spectrum of disorders that psychiatrists have to deal with ranges from anxiety\, the most common problem\, to schizophrenia\, the most devastating mental illness. For each of eight different disorders\, Dr. Sarkari covered its cardinal features and symptoms\, along with the treatment and medications that help alleviate them. Particular attention was paid to Alzheimer’s disease and the special problems that mental health creates in the work place. \nHe presented alarming statistics that highlighted the widespread and serious consequences of mental illness\, leading to poor job performance\, dysfunctional family life\, and sometimes even suicide. Typical cases of mental illness that Dr. Sarkari encountered in his practice often brought humorous and astonishing reactions from the audience. \nDr. Sarkari’s presentation was very well received\, as evident from the animated discussions and questions that followed. WZCC (Houston) is grateful to Dr. Bahadur Sarkari for taking the time to share his knowledge with our members. \n“WZCC (Houston) helps members succeed as entrepreneurs and professionals through career enhancement\, better financial management\, and enrichment of their personal lives.”

Fi was associated with the telecommunications industry for many years. \nWith Futurepreneur Fi has mentored quite a few young entrepreneurs who went on to run their own successful businesses. \nHer other volunteer activities include being an Ambassador to the Vancouver Opera and assisting them in any office/technology related work. \nDetails of presentation on Mentorship: \n-What is a mentor\, how does one become a mentor and what is involved in mentoring young business entrepreneurs \nA mentor is a person who has expertise in a specific field and enjoys assisting someone with their venture in this specific field.  A mentor is also a person who enjoys helping young entrepreneurs (age range 18 to 35 years) with their business.  Businesses\, for example\, could range from fitness studios\, events planner\, restaurant\, ballet studio\, setting up shops\, setting up a daycare\, starting freelance work etc.  Getting in touch with Futurepreneur and submitting a resume is the first steps involved in becoming a business mentor. \n– What are the steps involved for a mentor with Futurepreneur (business mentor) \nAfter an interview with Futurepreneur a seminar is arranged as introduction and what is expected of a mentor.  The seminar can be done on-line at one’s own pace and time. Most mentors have to have some business knowledge and basic accounting experience.  If a mentor does not have experience in certain areas that is required for a specific business\, Futurepreneur will try and find a person who has the expertise and is available to assist.  This is a volunteer position and the time devoted to any project is mutually agreed upon by the mentor and mentee. \n– How does a mentor and protégé (mentee) negotiate a good fit \nWhen the on-line course is completed\, Staff at Futurepreneur will then set up the mentor with a mentee who is starting up a business. A mentor can also be asked to help an existing business in progress.  The mentor will then set up an initial meeting with the mentee at a mutually convenient date. If both parties – the mentor and mentee – feel there is a good fit and they could work together\, the mentor contacts Futurepreneur to say there is a good fit with the mentee.  If it is not a good fit another mentee will be found for the mentor to assist in setting up of the business. Government of Canada provides a loan of $15\,000 without interest for two years to mentee. \n– What is involved for the mentor to keep in touch with the mentee \nMinimum time required of a mentor to help a mentee is approximately 10 hours per month for a term of two years.  In some cases more time per month maybe required and in other cases less time is required.  Contact with a mentee can be done via email\, phone or face to face meetings. Every three months a report is submitted by both the mentor and mentee showing any updates\, time spent and achievement to date with regard to the business. \n– What constitute a successful business operation \nFuturepreneur deems a business successful if it is still in operation after two years and also when the loan of $15K is paid back. The loan is usually paid back when the business shows a profit and the owner of the business is able to make a minimum payment. \n– The term and length a mentor is associated with a mentee \nTwo years is the duration a mentor has to assist and help a mentee with their respective business. In order to assist with the business a mentor maybe asked for any type of involvement that is required to make the business a success.  A mentor should advise and direct a mentee in the direction towards making the business a success especially if it appears that the business is going off the rails or not following the business plan. \n– Wrapping up a contract between mentor and mentee. \nJust before two years\, the mentor is alerted by Futurepreneur to inform that the contract is coming to an end.  The mentor may be asked to submit a final report regarding the business and whether is shows signs of being a success and if the mentee can manage on their own. \nThe mentor is then asked if they wish to start another project with a new mentee or take a little break. \nThe session ended with discussions\, and question and answer session at 2:50 pm. \nAubtin Yazdgardian offered a vote of thanks to Mrs. Fi Dastoor and presented her a book as a token of appreciation. \nRefreshments were served. \nMinutes Prepared by: Homi Italia Date: 15 June 2017

SUMMARY:Our Second Workshop on Entrepreneurship…
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurial Inspiration &  Must Have Skills \n  \nWZCC Toronto and Global Youngpreneurs concluding workshop on introduction to entrepreneurship focused on understanding more in-depth about entrepreneurship and attracting customers. \n  \nAs an inspirational example\, we had Malcolm Mehta\, a 16 year-old social entrepreneur\, studying UK and now in USA who started a football league in a village in India. This made participants realize that age is no hindrance to achieving one’s dreams. Seeing someone so close to their years being successful gives our participants incentive to begin their own entrepreneurial journey. \n  \nIn conjunction with the theme of the session\, tips on getting customers was discussed. These ranged from understanding wants and needs to adding unique elements to the product/service\, to attracting customers via discounts and freebies. This was followed by an activity which tested their business and marketing skills. \n  \nThe second activity was related to logical problem solving\, as it is a must-have skill for entrepreneurs. The youth were placed in an escape room situation\, where they had to solve three puzzles which would then lead them to a code and the escape key. It was a fun and challenging set of quizzes which not only tested their abilities\, but their mettle too. \n  \nBefore ending the workshop\, we recounted the tale of Walt Disney\, and how he established Disney and all its different ventures. \n  \nThe two-part sessions covered the gist of various areas under entrepreneurship. However\, the main aim was to engage our youth with an entrepreneurial mindset\, focus on skills that would help them in the future\, and also to enjoy learning. \n  \nThe Toronto chapter and Global Youngpreneurs will continue giving wings to young dreams and making them a reality.

SUMMARY:Our First Workshop on Introduction To Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Global Youngpreneurs held their first virtual  Introduction to Entrepreneurship workshop for our youth between the ages of 11 to 15. \n  \nIn a rapidly changing world\, we recognize that the most important skills are logical and creative thinking abilities\, and soft skills and these remain overlooked in our regular education system. WZCC Toronto Chapter worked with Global Youngpreneurs to help develop this entrepreneurial mindset in our youth. \n  \nOur first session (out of the two-part series) focused on developing a “business” through experiential learning. The participants were given an activity and tasked with creating a product/service\, along with the name of the company\, the logo and the slogan. Explanation of  an entrepreneur\, giving examples of different products and services and also real-world logos and slogans helped to make the concept of the activity clearer. Right from Royal Bank of Canada\, to Nike\, the participants were made to understand how the logos and slogans of such companies corresponded to the product or service they offered. In return\, the young participants came up with ideas such as a coffee-flavored soft drinks\, to a dog walking service for the elderly\, with slogans such as “Too good to be true” and “Fancy footwork for four-legged friends.” \n  \nThe second activity was a small team building survival challenge and each team was “stranded” in a particular situation (on an island/on the moon) and each team had to pick few items which would help them survive. This activity successfully tested not only their ability to work in teams – including listening skills\, reasoning skills\, and co-operation\, but also logical and creative problem solving. \n  \nNext they worked on building of entrepreneurial traits such as leadership\, team work\, delegation of work\, and promotion. Participants were asked to come up with ideas for running a food or drink stall while working in teams\, thus inculcating aspects of soft skills. Each team came up with an idea for their own food stall\, the location\, how to sell their product\, and also the tasks that each team member would perform. \n  \nAttentiveness\, enthusiasm\, excitement and participation  was maintained throughout and we couldn’t be more happier with the result. \n  \nEvery participant was pushed to think on their feet\, explore their potential\, and most importantly\, learn and have fun!
