Are you young – 20 -> 25? A students, just entered a job, no money, hating your job, want to do something more, or even a bit of a rebel – they say, you are just perfect. J - I would ask you to just try this out – (after all many of you repeated for the stupid entrance test). Trying for an year or two will teach you so much about so many things which you can never even dream of otherwise.
Older, married, have some money, have kids? Well, bit tough – have too many things to look before you jump. I wont just ask you to jump right away. Do all your calculation, risk mitigation plans, backup and then – yeah. Join us. J
I feel that, the most important thing with any Startup guy is perseverance, hard work, energy and determination. You should be driven more by your spirits than your physical strength (You will be physically drained more often than ever).
Find my idea? Please, No.. Not an idea, look around for a problem you would love to solve, something that excites you, something you believe that will touch the lives around you. Don’t think too much about things you do not know. You always have your strengths, what you don’t have; you can get it along with you one-way or the other (you will learn this). Trust me on this, you will always look back and call yourself an IDIOT for thinking it that way (or not thinking it that way)
Starting: Everybody will think, we know what we are doing. Actually, we will have no clue what we are doing, where we are going. This is very usual (they say). People ask me about a day 2 months down the line, I smile, because I don’t even know what I’m going to do today evening. :P
But you will learn, the harder you try, sooner you get.
To be continued!
What do you think about starting a company, let me know in comments.
