Follow your Instincts...

What an Instinct is …An Impulse

When you have a healthy job in your hand, but you are not getting that KICK; when everything is going fine, but you are not SATISFIED; when you have good projects in hand but still that does not LEAD you where you want to be. Still, you feel you are in a CAGE, you want to fly wherein no limits are defined, where nobody can stop you. But you can’t explore what’s going on inside you.

That’s the time my friend where you should just CHUCK everything and just listen to your HEART.

People will talk about you, they will judge you, and they will predict your future as well. No worries at all. It’s your decision, you are only responsible for it. Just concentrate on why you have taken such a Bold step in your life ….because yes, you are an Entrepreneur. You are born for it. It’s in your blood, it’s in you. You have that FIRE.

It’s not easy, not at all. Several hurdles and blockages are there. There will be people who will always try to drag you back. But that’s your courage and dedication which will come in front and supports you with your decision. The road to entrepreneurship is often a treacherous one filled with unexpected detours, roadblocks, and dead ends. There are lots of sleepless nights, plans that don’t work out, funding that doesn’t come through, and customers that never materialize. It can be so challenging to launch a business that it may make you wonder why anyone willingly sets out on such a path.

Despite those hardships, every year thousands of people embark on an entrepreneurial journey, determined to bring their vision to fruition and fill a need they see in society. They open brick-and-mortar businesses, launch tech start-ups, or?turn an idea into a new product?or service. With the right motivation, inspiration, and game plan. Thus you can be a successful entrepreneur, too.

What Motivates to be an entrepreneur…It’s different for everyone depending on their need, their environment, their family background, etc. Though each person’s inspiration is nuanced and unique, many entrepreneurs are spurred by one or more of the following motivators:

• Autonomy:?Entrepreneurs are people who want to be their own bosses, set their own goals, control their own progress, and run their businesses how they see fit. They recognize that their business’s success or failure rests with them, but they don’t view this responsibility as a burden. Instead, it’s a marker of their freedom.
• Purpose:?Many entrepreneurs have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish and will work tirelessly to make that happen. They genuinely believe they have a product or service that fills a void and are compelled by a single-minded commitment to keep pushing ahead. They hate stagnation and would rather fail while moving forward than languish in inactivity.?
• Flexibility:?Not everyone fits into the rigidity of traditional corporate culture. Entrepreneurs are often looking to free themselves from these constraints and find a better work-life balance or work at times and in ways that may be unconventional. This doesn’t mean they’re working fewer hours – often, especially in the early stages of growing a business, they work longer and harder – but, rather, they’re working in a way that is instinctual for them.
• Financial success:?Most entrepreneurs realize they aren’t going to be overnight billionaires, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the potential to make a ton of money from a hugely successful business over which they have full control. Some want to establish a financial safety net for themselves and their families, while others are looking to make a huge profit by creating the next big thing.
• Legacy:?Entrepreneurs are often guided by a desire to create something that outlasts them. Others want to develop a brand that has longevity and becomes an institution. Some want to pass on a source of income and security to their heirs. There are also entrepreneurs who hope to make a lasting impression on the world and leave behind an innovation that improves people’s lives in some tangible way.

Many examples are there of successful entrepreneurs starting from Steve Jobs to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos to Sara Blakely. Indian entrepreneurs like Dhiru Bhai Ambani to Dilip Shanghvi. Shiv Nadar to Azim Premji. They are known today because someday they decided to listen to their heart and do just go with their Instincts.

The value of entrepreneurship…..Being a successful entrepreneur isn’t an easy path. It can often take far more hard work, ingenuity, and perseverance than the typical 9-to-5 job and yet still not pan out in the long run. However, succeeding as an entrepreneur can be one of the most rewarding experiences, because you’re doing so on your own terms and influencing society at the same time. For many, those rewards are invaluable. There’s never a guarantee that an idea will succeed, but you’ll still see many people starting their own businesses anyway. After all, failure is just as uncertain.

So don’t be afraid just go for it…because you can do it.
