2. DO YOU RELATE?
• An entrepreneurs’s drug is success
• You have to hustle, you have to think sell dreams
• Win or learn..but never lose!
• I am the captain of my fate, the master of my soul
• You spend a few years of your life that others won’t, so you can spend the rest of your
life like others can’t
• The only difference between a somebody and a nobody is often about who is willing to
action…
ARE YOU WILLING?
3. KEY MINDSET FACTORS
Have the right reasons to begin thinking of a startup, not because it's perceived to be
‘in”
How to overcome your initial fears and move out of your comfort zone
Bring your past experiences into play- do not burn bridges. Build as much relevant
network as possible
How not to let emotional baggage weigh you down
Managing your ego- it often stands between you and a successful startup
An entrepreneur was bragging to his friend.. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left
Whenever a product fails the entrepreneur calls it the beta version
While others were debating about whether the glass is half full or empty, the entrepreneur drank it up
Starting a startup is an emotional rebirth.. It needs solid, sustainable ideas, It needs consistent follow through.
Are you ready for your new life?
Think very carefully before stepping into the startup circuit. Play to win, not just to exist!
Are you following the right business model? Are you chasing the right dream? Is your dream sustainable? Because if not you’d be setting yourself up for failure.
However once you are convinced of these, then do not look back. It is this business model that will provide you positive reinforcement every time you find yourself thinking about the unpaid bills and the pending salary payments!!
I am from Bangalore the city of startups.. And have seen many such success as well as failure stories.
Ego- Hire purchase..
The startup has minimal hierarchy.. Lose that corporate high stool
