Start-up: Challenges & Affirmation
Business cannot be the same always. Neither can be the circumstances, like markets each business has its own meter of growth, its own phase of peak & struggle. In fact, for start-up challenges are many and what a matter is – are you ready for them?
Switching levels of motivation
The level of motivation and reason of motivation – both are the things which keep the entrepreneur in a sometimes perplexed situation. The levels of motivation are different at different situations. Doing your own thing can be a motivation at times and postponing your leisure plan becomes a de-motivating factor at others. Economic conditions, a successful project act as a motivation and a project going on hold becomes a negative factor. Sometimes it is purely a non-business reason which starts influencing your decision to venture.
Excitement-meter
An entrepreneur has got numerous reasons to be excited about the start-up. First and foremost being the idea itself then comes the stepping stones – the launch, the first project and then each project gives a new kick till the time you realize that you are now into the game.
A low excitement level leads to the idea of quitting and that is when one needs to understand, make sure that there is no looking back. If you are here – you are here to stay. If you have to move on – make sure you have a better plan. Think thoroughly and remember – quitting sometimes is the easiest thing to do.
Many a times, it is the amount of work. As far as my experience goes – entrepreneurs need to delegate, manage and lead. And in the above 2 situations – be a fighter. Do not shy away from bouncing back. Remember, springing up is a good mechanism and it doesn’t harms, it initiates growth.
Be Affirm
Entrepreneurship is a daring thing. Once you have dared to dream and then dared to venture into something which is only with you in the form of an idea. And then you dare to execute your idea.
Execution has peculiar challenges some expected and some unexpected. Uncertainty is the beauty of business and a test for entrepreneur.
As a cautionary principle entrepreneurs must preserve two things – Focus and Dream. And remember, when we dream, we have to chase and when we chase – we have to miss out a lot of things on the way because we have to chase with single focus and we have to win the race.
Dare. Chase. Win.
