My story..till now.

It was a long time back when I already decided for myself that I want to be an Entrepreneur one day, having my own firm. When I was doing my computer engineering people around me always kept on saying to apply for jobs in big companies (MNCs). But, call me dumb or stubborn, I always told them "I will not join them. One day I will create a bigger company and will employee people there". That day hasn't came yet.

In fact it's been like couple of months I left my job and started my own firm. Yeah you heard it right -"Job". But, again it was not in any of those "Big" companies. I just chose to be a part of smaller firm and get an identity and work as per my rules. Although people tell me that I might have missed the conceptual development that I could have got in big company but I always believe in my beliefs as an entrepreneur. Yeah, I am not a fool and I have been digging into things that go in creating and running a big company. And, therefore, I know it is going to be a long long journey before I have one of my own.

I am 26 and I was running out of time. Being from an Indian family I am expected to be married around 28-29. And where I am right now? The answer is really scary. I left my job. I started my firm. But, I don't have work. And as time passes my confidence about my own skills keep on diminishing at an accelerated pace. I am home, sitting & thinking what I need to do. An accident made me bed-ridden for a month. Now, I am fine. And, hence the question comes to my mind more often, every minute - What is going to be my next step?

I don't know. All I can is to keep trying, keep learning and wait patiently. I don't know how long it is going before I can stop waiting and start working and start building a company. Just wanted to share with my YE friends about this short story of mine.

Do let us know your side of the story .

Stop making excuses, get off your ass and go out and get business. If you can't you're not cut out to be an entrepreneur. There's no shame in it but it's best to realize it sooner rather than later so you don't waste anymore time. Unless posting here is somehow productive to your business it should also be severed.
