I have attended Pitch ‘n’ Win on NLP and I find the contents and sharing made by the speakers real beneficial as it provide a new paradigm that help to form breakthrough beliefs about ourselves. I think Pitch ‘n’ Win is a good concept as it provides a platform for people who have the heart to share to share and it facilitate exchanges of viewpoints that are positively growth stimulating as much as the ‘fun’ factor, it also enables people to expand network, becoming the enabler for the introverts to develop to becoming more outspoken and take the initiative to voice their opinion which in this flattened world could make or break a new business opportunity.

Interview with Wadud Mughal

Wadud Mughal, organizer of Pitch-Ur-Passion event series

1. A little about you and what you do?

My name is Wadud Mughal and I am a social entrepreneur – founder of Better World Makers Network [betterworldmakers.org ]. This is a network of highly effective people with social hearts and entrepreneurial minds who build communities, solutions and enterprises.

Our short term mission is to end poverty from the Earth by 2020 through promoting social innovation and entrepreneurship and change lives of the bottom 3 billion people. Here’s how we are approaching this goal:

The three billions people make 600 millions families @ 5 pax per family on an average. In order to create enough jobs, we need 30K Tribe Leaders (Accelerators) world wide by end 2015 with an objective to produce 1000 enterprises per each Tribe Leader by 2020 i.e 200 enterprises per year. An enterprise means a business with a minimum 20 jobs with minimum wage of USD9K per annum per family. This means 20 jobs per enterprise x 200 enterprises x 5 years x 30000 tribe leaders worldwide. That makes 600 million new jobs by 2020. Each Tribe Leader is supposed to build a local Thoughts to Things Ecosystem that provide all what it takes to build an enterprise.

Our long term vision is to drive homo sapiens evolve into social innovators and entrepreneurs.

2. Why did you join Pitch n Win organizer?

It’s called Pitch-ur-Passion

4. How’s your event going so far and what’s the response rate?

The challenge we are facing is to encourage more and more people to fill in the form to build the data base that is essential to connect the like minded people to work on a problem they all love to solve.

5. What outcome you wish to achieve with your events?

Our target is to build a data base of people with a passion so we can do the match making required to convert it into a research and development project. So once the solution is ready we can convert it into an enterprise to create jobs to end poverty.
