" You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."____ Zig Ziglar
The day when a dream of being as an entrepreneur has grown in me, I was looking for all the possibilities and opportunities to start. I was actually waiting for an opportunity to knock my door.
Seems funny right, Lol......This is the moment where I realized that without a door how would anyone can knock? So, I thought of building a door first. Now, I started finding for resources to build my door.
How greedy a human is, always chasing for something still never happy. Sorry!!! Jokes apart........
I started building a door with a little knowledge. There is an other option where I can take time, learn and know about how to start. But, this seems to be a lengthy process and of course I will never start in that way. So, I jumped in to the pool and thought of learning there.
Starting anything is difficult and takes lots of courage, but once you start you'll be enjoying it.
. . .
- Don't wait for a miracle just to start.
Most of us all would have heard about some or the other person on this earth to whom the opportunity has come on its own. Those are the ones who were born with 100% luck. To those who were thinking that luck will be one day knocking their door, I would ask them to wait for the rest of their life.
Rest of us all will start doing things and miracles happen all along the way.
2. Fail Fast!!!!
People who fail fast are the ones who started learning things quickly. Young entrepreneurs would be the right fit for this word. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook who became one of the youngest billionaire in the world just at the age of 23.
I came across a proverb recently:
“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you're doomed if you don't try.”________Beverly Sills
It's good to fail because one failure story can teach us more lessons than a thousand success stories.
3. Leverage the experience of others.
When we already have the experience of others in huge number, why to spend our time in learning the same lesson? Sounds interesting!!!! In today's times there were thousands of experiences shared by successful people available over the internet. Leveraging the experience of others on your path would help you focus on something which is more important on your journey.
I came to know this when I was trying to build my door.
4.Never quit your job if you want to start a business.
I have seen most people saying that they left their jobs just to start their business. I wanted to know from where these people will be managing their expenses before even seeing their profits. I think this would be more curious to know!!!
Don't leave your source of income because hurdles come on the way without giving us a chance to predict just like Corona.
5.Don't underestimate your ideas.
New ideas are always interesting and crazy. I have read somewhere that, By the time you put your idea in to the market and no one finds that crazy that means you launched it too late.
The one who says that your idea is useless and no one would use that, will be the first to use.
Just enjoy the journey and accept everything that comes on this way.
