Dreams Fire Startups Engine!!

Startups are often projected as harsh battle fields where real hardships are part of everyday life, savings evaporate to zero and turn into huge debts, where there is no margin of error and decisions are often based purely on gut feelings. Does it frighten you? May be it's true for most of the startups. Well some people get excited by all this uncertainty. Really?? Naah! every one wants stability in life but on different terms, consciously or subconsciously.

Assume being in startup as flying a jet plane. If I start describing how a jet plane works and the scenarios that can come up then we might think that none of us can do it. But, hey! when you are in there, it goes with the flow.

Interestingly, the same is true when you are in a startup. It's a very different experience. There is nothing like describing the real scenario from the periphery. Just take a test drive and you will know the rules of the game. In reality, there is always a bigger goal which keeps the startup team moving. There is always a dream which keeps the flame burning in the hearts.

If God shows up some day and say that you won't ever be successful in startup, then most of the entrepreneurs won't like the hardships of startups. No matter how exciting they sound. Since this is an imaginative scenario hence more than half of the entrepreneurs might refute this conclusion. Anyways, the bottom line is that the purpose of being in a startup is very different; it's like achieving stability in life at your own terms.

Travel the less traveled road for more fun and anxiety. Well, we have just got one lives!!
