Welcome to the Workshop –
“How to be an entrepreneur in a week?” – Is it how you build a Sustainable
Business??!!
Well, unfortunately, with the
rise of the startup ecosystem in the country, there has been some deleterious
blend of this kind of mentality as well. How can someone teach the rules of
being an entrepreneur? On top of that, how can someone fix a time frame for the
same? This maybe because we see several self-proclaimed entrepreneurs around us
nowadays. Many of them are starting a so-called company just to get the tag of
“founder”, “co-founder”, “CEO” etc.
People, today, before starting up claim to build
the next “million-dollar company” and after starting up run after VCs and
Angels.
Startups may raise funds in bulk, but VCs are
certainly not there for providing help. They have poured money into a company
to look forward to an exit. If your company can’t provide that, then it is
certainly just another bot in the system
Employees come first! Not the
VCs, not even the customers! Your employees are the one who hold the same
vision as you and take your company to the next level – to the level YOU
desire. If you can’t keep your employees happy, you are certainly not the
deserving one in the race!
Take your startup to a
sustainable position and then try to get funds for investing in ‘real’ things. Your
startup is like your child which you love the most. If you work hard with
insight, the result will be much sweeter than you expected.
