An Entrepreneur is a person who follows
a dreams and carve a niche for themselves in the society. Gone are
the days when very few wanted to run a firm of their own. Now with
the growing economy and liberalization the business scenario is much
better than before. Its not necessary to be rich but one should know
how to accumulate funds for setting and running the business. Its not
necessary to posses a professional degree but a right attitude and
skill set to run a business. Thinking should be big with efforts put
in right direction to excel in any undertaking. There will be lots of
ups and downs but its the necessity to persevere and look for
solutions in any problematic situation. High tides will turn in to
low tides only when the goal is clear with a proper vision.
There are many who have that
Entrepreneurial spirit but a few take an initiative and move forward.
There are lots of risks involved and need to travel less traveled
paths. Founder of a business needs to think and act differently and
visualize the problem much more in advance, is a person with right
mental attitude.
Saurabh Srivastava, Founder, Indian
Angel Network cites one of an example on how he kept his spirits high
when faced with an unpredictable situation “ When i was in New
York, i made a number of cold calls and one person agreed to meet me
to discuss business. Over the meeting i told how we could help him.
On finishing he asked me to stay and called his two friends. On their
arrival he said “ This is the funniest thing i have heard”. He
tried to convince him and made him one of his customers. If some one
else would have been in that situation he would have left the place
with a fit of anger.
“ If you know the customer better,
you can solve the problem better “ believes Sanjeev Bikhchandani,
Founder & CEO, Info Edge India Ltd. Mohanjit Jolly, Managing
Director, DFJ India says “ Entrepreneurship is for those who have
thick skin and perseverance to hear lots of 'nos' but not get
discouraged.
After knowing what these top notch
entrepreneurs think we can get a right direction and we can plan our
steps better.
Lets think and act differently and
create a better tomorrow for us and our society.
