Start up! Stand up! Live it up!

A call to all aspiring entrepreneurs.

The thought of entrepreneur-ship gets triggered only in those who have an unusual DNA. And then, it’s up to these individuals to look around for a professionally managed support system for entrepreneurs, if any exists. There are a good number of successful entrepreneurs in our country; and I wish to take this opportunity to give a call to all the others to come forward and encourage entrepreneurship. There is a huge mismatch in the employers-to-employee ratio at present, and a dire need for many more stable employers. This situation will improve only by encouraging entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs are born and not made. The attempt here is to awaken the zeal in those who are inclined that way. Aren’t these people different from the common category? Then why is it that they get lost among the masses? They ought to embrace their different talent and grab any opportunity to take centre stage.

Second or third generation entrepreneurs are not always as good as the first. They may sometimes need more guidance and hand holding, unlike the first generation. The reason is that they could be over-confident and take many things for granted, which in turn, could lead to failure.The rate of success for the second and later generations is low and hence, I repeat, they need more mentoring and proper guidance.
