Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching and running a new business, which is more often than not, initially a small business, offering a product, process or service for sale or hire. The people who create these businesses are called entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship has been described as the "capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit
“The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both” from Zen Buddhist
When I was in middle school my parents told me. Just get to high school and your life will be all stable.
When I reached high school, parents were like, okay just get yourself through high school and your life will be all okay.
But when the same thing happened when I completed my graduation and then MBA, I was really devastated. I mean what the hell is this American Dream anyway?
To live a life that is set by others for you. But since we were limited in resources I opted to go with the flow. After the MBA program, I rolled into a 9-5 job like everyone else. I was not happy, but it was okay. My boos were okay, my parents were happy, my friends were happy.
You remember the famous speech of Martin Luther King. The night before the speech. Martin Luther King was busy re-writing the speech till 3 am in the morning.
And right before he was about to give the speech, sitting in the audience he was still editing the draft. I am sure, he was not correcting his grammar.
11 minutes on the stage, he said the historical 4 words, ‘I have a dream’ and the best part, these words were not even in the speech which he wrote.
So, where did the words came from? Yes, Martin Luther King did deliberate procrastination to unleash his creative genius.

But, if you’re determined enough to create a path of your own then these same people will ask you for help.

The modern entrepreneurs of today are passionate, determined and destined for success. As an entrepreneur, you must also be looking forward to a lot of success. The advent of the digital technologies have revolutionized almost everything and everyone now understands that internet provides the best chance of making money. Indeed, it is exactly why people from all walks of life are engaging them in online ventures, which are commonly launched through website designs, however some succeed and other do not.
Keeping in view the new entrants and the not-so-rising number of successful ventures, I being part of a professional website design service, would like to bring to the attention of budding business owners few tips that could help them in attaining long lasting success in lieu to their professional website designs.
Make Communication Available Instantly
Customer support is one of the primary elements of success for business around the globe. For that matter, a budding business owner must make sure that the prospects and clients could get in touch with him or with a company’s representative almost instantly whenever the need arises. In order to provide an instant get-in-touch mechanism to your target audience make sure to add an easy to access contact info page/form on your website design.
Many business owners, who are luring for online leads fail to understand the importance of a credible contact page, and set up long forms which both the customers and prospect find difficult to fill, and as a result, they lose a vital element of attaining client satisfaction.
Entrepreneurship is like a labyrinth, there are no rules and everything is continuously changing. You have to be ready for what comes and even then you have to make sure you truly understand what you are faced with. Moreover, Startups are like F1 cars on a race track. You can drive them slow, not crash and complete the race or you can drive them fast, risk crashing and Win!
It’s okay to say ‘No’
Saying ‘No’ is an art. And not everyone can say no to anyone all the time. But, that doesn’t mean you will have to say ‘Yes’ to everything that comes into your way. As an Entrepreneur, you will be faced with thousands of decisions each day, and with those decisions, you need to decide ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Now the thing is, the more you say ‘Yes’ to things that are unimportant to you or are beneficial for your company, the less you need to worry about saying ‘No’ to everyone else.
Now, as per Stephen Covet, there are certain things that are important but not urgent, and then there are things that are urgent & important. If the thing you are saying ‘Yes’ to isn’t urgent but important, you can easily say ‘No’ for the moment and analyze later to make room for work. Trust me, saying no to your boss, client, or peers won’t hurt if you do it in a respectable manner.
The 5 am rule
Join the 5-am club. The way you start your day determines the rest of the day you will have. Right after you wake up at 5 am. Do the following:
Spend the first 20 minutes on exercise.
Invest the next 20 minutes on making rehearsing your goals, plans for the day.
Devote the next to learn something new. Whether be it a motivational video, a book or some inspiring blog.
FACT: From 5 am to 8 am are “The Golden Hours” that the most successful achievers in the world use to set up their days for success. The way you begin your day really does determine how you live your day.
The wall-street landscape is filled with visionaries that are aspiring to change the way we use products, services, and ideas. However, life is not all about Rainbows & Brownies. Plenty of startups fail within the first 5 years of the creation. Their ideas might be extraordinary, but what these young Entrepreneurs lack, is pitching to investors. The Entrepreneurs should avoid mistaking while pitching their idea to investors.
Most mistakes are just blunders that are made by founders who didn’t know well about their investors. The good is, you can avoid these blunders & get you’re a-game started.
I, being a serial Entrepreneur, know what it takes to pitch your idea to the investor. You need to create that perfect pitch to inspire your investor.
After listening to hundreds of pitches, some amazing, and others boring, I’ve brainstormed some ideas that can help the young Entrepreneurs, or the startups to avoid these mistakes while pitching the idea to the investors.
