Metin Licis: There is no such thing as spare time.
Metin Liçis is one of the well-known business people of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). He advises young entrepreneurs and says, “There is no such thing as spare time.”
Metin Licis, who joined in a conversation organized by the Entrepreneurship Club of a private university, advised young entrepreneurs by giving examples from his university years.
“Many people spending their university years just studying or just having fun.”
Metin Licis stated that the college years are very advantageous in entrepreneurship and that it is a period that should be evaluated. “Many people spending their university years just studying or just having fun. I think this does not seem right. Of course, you have to study and have fun. However, you need to arrange them very well, and you shouldn’t waste your time on anything. Every moment you live, it should mean an opportunity for you to come up with a new idea, to research different subjects, and to try yourself. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, I think you will understand what I mean much better.”
Metin Licis told young entrepreneurs who listened to him with great care
Metin Licis told young entrepreneurs who listened to him with great care, a habit he had acquired during his high school years. Metin Licis handed out the charts he prepared before the interview, and he said that he made this chart for the first time when he was 17 years old, and that chart has become his biggest habit ever since.
Showing the chart in which the 24 hours of the day is expressed in different boxes, Metin Licis said:
“You should fill every hour on this chart according to your habits and what you have to do. Write down your activity hours, such as sleeping, studying, eating, drinking coffee with your friends, shopping, resting, and watching movies with your family. The remaining hours are; devote to developing yourself, generating ideas about your initiatives, and researching how you can make these ideas come true. Pay attention to planning random times that many people describe as spare time. After a month at the most, you will see how positive your life is going and what you have gained in this process.”
