The biggest issue that most of us face today is the choice to be entrepreneurial and chase our dreams and the other is to get into a well paid job and have a comfortable life style. I respect people who have the courage to start on their own at this stage of their career. Frankly, I don't share the same passion for an idea nor do I have the guts to do away for the first time a cosy lifestyle, the fun of owning a car, house and give my parents the comforts they truly deserve!
But, apart from my frailities, do these startups really have that passion or it is just some sort of bubble we have encountered so frequently. IIMA is abuzz with everyone wanting to start a firm but hardly any of us have a fully backed out plan. In an environment where raising capital is not an issue, they are ready to plunge in the market with the brand IIMA without any viable business plans. Having done consulting for a startup, I have seen how a start up struggles to find a breathing space in the market and what can make a difference.
And that makes me feel really underprepared for such exercise. May be 10 years 20 years who knows...but I am going to be on my own atleast for sometime...
Perhaps I will love to start a nursery school and be a full time teacher there...I love small kids and no matter how sad I am, these kids can make me smile..:) God knows what I am gonna do ... the finals are just 2 months away :P!
