Ambition Entrepreneurship

Ambition is the basis of human life. Everyone keep some ambitions. Many youths of today’s age want to drive their life on their own conditions. I belong to that group. We want to define our own rule; we want to redefine the standards of life. This write-up is just my personal thought about the conditions arises when a youth thinks of opening his/her own venture.

People said – “Need is the basis of every invention”. But I feel, inventions create need. Nobody knew the use of fire, until it was discovered, and now it has become the basis of our life. Computer was never designed to be personal, but slowly and gradually it created the need in every of facet of life, be it multimedia, calculations, presentations, etc. Now computer is becoming the need of the day. Social networking on the internet was never a need, but the invention of facebook/orkut etc. made it to a need. So what I feel is, have faith in whatever you want to propose to the society and be perseverant with your faith.  The society one day will accept your proposal. Until 500 B.C. nobody used to believe the Earth is round but the perseverance of Aristotle and his belief with the fact he had given society had to accept the Earth is round. So my opinion, if someone wants to set up his own business, he should have faith in his idea, no matter how small it is or whether the idea is acceptable to others in the first glance.

A journey of thousands miles starts with a single step – but the first step is the most difficult to take. It requires the complete planning, thought clarity, expenses, gains etc. For a startup, the first step is to register your startup as an organization. But the day you register, your expenses increases, your balance sheet start showing zero balance at the beginning of the month itself. So most of the startups starts as the part time job, you work complete day to earn your meal, and in the night your burn your night lamp to live your dream, to do something for yourself. This approach to some extent is good, and must have been worked to many organizations when they were incubating. But, you can’t live up your ambitions on your part-time efforts. This is the time which is most painful and important for the future of one’s ambitions. At this stage, people can be over/under or confident. The difference between any of these stages is just to the point made by a needle, one has to identify his zeal and ground work he has done for sustenance before taking further decisions. But if you don’t have faith in you and quit at this point, how can you think of someone else to have in you then. The tough decision, but go with your gut feel.

The last but not the least is convincing others to buy your idea. Be ready with your homework to every single question others may ask you about the functionality of your prototype, the business gain you’ll be giving them or the ease of life you’ll be giving them with your idea. Never loose hopes if you have been let down by someone at the start of approaching the clients. They may not be matching to your intellects, and hence are not gasping the potential you are providing to them. Be patient, and approach to different person. The world is so big you’ll find so many others. If you can implement your proof of concept to one person, you’ll build a chain out of it.

All the written above is a work of fiction, I am not a successful entrepreneur but I think I will be one day.
