determined period of time. Objective of this project is designed
to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. This paper concisely
highlights the issues faced by students doing entrepreneurship
project in these fields i.e., production, management, finance,
marketing, and technology. A quantitative survey method was
chosen to explore the issues appropriately in Indonesia to
increase the number of entrepreneurs which is currently 1.5%
from the total population of Indonesia. This research
