This presentation is based on the life experience of Mr. Ali Mese, who hunted his dream facing above questions. 1. Are you ready for the social pressure? 2. Are you single or do you have an extremely supportive partner? 3. Do you have enough cash to last at least a year? 4. Are you ready to sleep only few hours a day? 5. How do you define success?

1. Inspired from Mr. Ali Mese Blog. Faeez Mushtaq

2. If you have friends and family who are not
entrepreneurs, they won’t truly understand
what you are trying to achieve and the public
pressure will be even higher.

3. Doing your own business is tough – way
tougher than u could have ever imagine. Your
mind is constantly messed up with a million
things going on inside and no other person,
including your girlfriend, has a single clue
what is going on in there..

4. Good, then multiply that amount at least by
three because you will be running out of your
savings way faster than you ever imagined.
Along the way, there will be so many hidden
costs, accountant fees, lawyer needs, broken
iPhones or PCs, etc.

5. “Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to
avoid working 40 hours a week.” Lori Greiner’s
The stories behind the scenes have so many painful days,
sleepless nights, and continuous rejections and failures.
The journey to success is long. Very long. Very often, too long.

6. ““It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is
the journey that matters, in the end.” Hemingway’s
Successful entrepreneurs are not necessarily those who raise
millions of investment rounds. Don’t forget, they are one in a
million.

7. No matter how much your journey f*cks up
your life or how difficult it will be, enjoy the
ride and keep following your passion.
