Don't let 'escape from 9to5' be the reason for your entrepreneurial dreams

 



Don't let 'escape from 9to5' be the reason for your entrepreneurial dreams. 


This message is for all 'employees' 

who want to become Entrepreneurs 


Employees give their 9to6 

or 9to9 for 5 to 6 days a week. 

Entrepreneurs give 24X7. Period. 

They even dream about their business 


Employees sometimes have a 'bad boss' 

Entrepreneurs are the BOSS .. good, bad, ugly 

they can be whatever .. but they are The BOSS. 

(And bosses are invariably subject of hate)


Employees blame their Managers for their situation 

(increments, work-life balance, appraisals, etc) 

Entrepreneurs have no one else to blame. 

They are the ultimate decision-makers 

for themselves and for others too. 


These days, you see a

disproportionate amount 

of 9to5 Job Bashing and over-

glorification of the Entrepreneur. 

The grass seems not only green 

but neon green on the other side. 

BUT the reality is far from expectations. 


For every successful startup, 

there are 99 that fail badly and 

shut down within 1000 days (3 years)

And many of them not just fail but they incur 

losses and wipe out savings and investments. 


And yes, it takes a massive amount 

of madness and crazy to 

become an Entrepreneur 

It's not easy. It's very difficult. 

There is no guarantee of success. 

Your Time and Money and Life are at stake. 

And yet you want to become an Entrepreneur. 

That's sheer madness. That requires a level of crazy .


So 

If you love stability in life 

and assured monthly paycheck 

and the your vacations & weekend parties 

Entrepreneurship is not the path meant for you


I have talked about Entrepreneurship

in the Be Your Own Boss Podcast

by Sachin Acharya.

Two different episodes,

released a year apart,

one in English, one in Hindi

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
