While we all aspire to be the best at our respective professions, certain skills exist which, if adopted, can lead anyone to the ladder of success. Among these skills, being ambitious and vigilant hold a lot of significance.

While ambition is the driving force behind persuading goals, vigilance is what gives one direction.

Following the same pattern, several individuals have not only succeeded, but have broken the monotonous order of work, bringing about changes.

One such individual who has achieved a lot in the digital world with his entrepreneurial efforts, focus and determination is Mohd Atasha Alias, a Malaysian venture developer who is actively involved in entrepreneurial communities within South East Asia and Europe.

With this, he began a successful journey into the world of entrepreneurship.

From revamping the school's website to pitching business owners, Mohd Atasha earned a high reputation based on his goals, passion, vision and continuous learning.

Entrepreneurship requires one to be independent, bold and risk taking. Along with this, different mentors and sufficient guidance can help individuals succeed as well. But at the end of the day, it has a lot to do with one's zest and attributes.

In the case of Mohd Atasha, his journey into entrepreneurship is based largely on his mindset of just do it and keep pressing on have helped him attain his dreams.

Keeping in mind his enthusiasm to progress and the fact that he had no sufficient guidance at his back, Mohd Atasha used his dedication and commitment to get to where he is today and he is committed to helping other entrepreneurs achieve their goals.

Moreover, words like focused and objective are widely used by his stakeholders to describe Mohd Atasha on media platforms.
