🚀 📍 You Don’t Need a High IQ to Succeed in Business & Tech

In this inspiring snippet from TechCAST by ULEFUSA, Fintech pioneer Mohammad Anwar Khan (Co-Founder of Vivotech & Early Verifone Leader) shares core lessons on what actually drives long-term career and startup success. 💡

According to Mohammad Anwar Khan, high IQ is overrated for everyday success. True achievement comes down to establishing 🧠 ❬ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 ❭ through three fundamental principles:

1️⃣ 💡 ❬ 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 ❭ – Continuously observe the world around you and focus on identifying real problems that need practical solutions.
2️⃣ 🔥 ❬ 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ❭ – Stay the course through low points. Persistence through uncertain times is what separates successful founders from the rest.
3️⃣ 🌐 ❬ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼 ❭ – Solve problems with a global mindset. Human nature is identical everywhere, meaning a great local solution can scale worldwide.

🎯 Whether you are a student, young professional, or founder, this advice will change how you approach your career!
