The business plans (production of RosBerry juice, Alang‐alang jelly drink, Luo Tung Kua healthy drink, Aloe vera juice, Soycorn milk and Bumble bee) were realized by production each product in pilot plant and selling the products in campus area. Five groups succeed to realize their business plans and get profit varies from 11.67 per cent to 58.29 per cent, but one group (production of Bumble bee) suffered losses of 28.63 per cent. About 84 per cent of students possess sufficient self‐confidence to success as an entrepreneur. Significant increasing of self‐confidence to success in business planning and marketing occurred.
