When I was growing up in a hostel in Mumbai, a poster in my room read, ‘Do what you love, and you will never have a problem with Monday.’ It takes a lot of conviction to start something YOU believe in because it is intangible to others. You have a vision, a dream, and not many will believe in it. People might drag you down, place hurdles, and create blockers, almost making you not believe in your dream. But it is important to remember that it is your dream, not theirs.
Lesson 1: Lead your own vision
Building something from scratch will need audacity, a bucketful of mettle, and intestinal fortitude to shape that vision. While working for someone else will give a good experience, acknowledgment, and even success, but it will always be someone else’s glory. This understanding was one of the biggest motivators for me. It helped me take the risk and reap the benefits of working for myself – at the pace and values that I set for myself.
Lesson 2: Break the vision into smaller parts
As fancy as it may sound, it‘s not all beer and skittles for a young entrepreneur. When you are a team of young entrepreneurs, you’re often faced with biases based on your age and experience. Therefore, getting the investments or even building a team looks like a difficult task. I realized quite early on that the only way to build trust in myself and my vision was to break the business idea down into smaller and understandable concepts.
