I do not want to write a long story as most of the readers do know the following points. I wanted to summarize and ask you the questions you have been asking silently. I made bullet points to make it simple and quick. What do you think about theses points? Comments are welcome.
General reasons for not being a part of a Startup
- Don’t come out of comfort zone
- Fear of uncertainty
- Salary dependent life
- Afraid of loosing wealth or salary
All are good points. But think for a moment…................
Why should not you attempt a startup?
- Comfort zone -- if you want to achieve something in life you got to come out comfort zone and risk. If not like Richard Branson, you can at least take a calculated risk. We all know “no pain no gain!”.
- Time and age will not wait for you. So if you do not start now, when will you start?
- Dependency on salary – Nothing can be done about this unless you change your financial status. Need to think and plan your life. Start-up or not -- the dependency should be completely erased. Savings, liability-less purchase and increasing your income are something you need to concentrate. I can suggest RICH DAD and POOR DAD authored by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon L. Lechter.
- When you can advise your younger brother/sister, children, and friends for taking risk in life and being bold, why can’t you heed your own advice?
- Come out of the default -- job. Job is something anytime you can take it. If you have already proven in your career; then do you see any charm there?
- If you are not startup kind, at the least join hands with a start-up as a core team member. That will give you a good starting point.
