You haven’t visited home in a long time. You feel all alone. There is no one with whom you can share things because for them, its all boring. You cry because you are running out of cash, you cry because things are not working smoothly, you cry because when you get home after a hard day- you can only call your parents and talk to them, you lie to your parents that you had dinner which I think is the most common lie people speak( I lie this very very very often and I feel bad for myself),
You just have your laptop to open up the browser and see your Website/Portal, what can you do more with it. All of a sudden, your life rolls around your venture. You cry very rarely but when you do, it hurts. You are struggling damn damn hard to make your dreams a reality but its not at all easy, not at all cool, not at all trending…
Even after so many sad things, so many downs, when your dad says- “I hope you are not losing confidence”, you feel on top of the world. He is your father and you are a father of your venture. The way he have confidence in you, the way he is seeing you every day, the way he is building a confidence in you day by day, the way he is asking you to shut up and keep moving likewise, you have to do this with your own baby, with your own venture. You have to push it very very hard…. because your baby don’t understand you.. you cant let the baby roll out/walk/run without your vision, without your help, without your passion… THIS IS A TOUGH JOB MAN!
You wake up early in the morning, switch on your tab/laptop and check out mails, your Startup progress, then roll outside for work and when you get home, you do this again. You do the same. Every minute you just keep thinking about your Startup
Your girlfriend/s gonna ditch you in the middle of the journey.
You don’t want to meet people.
You just keep working damn hard for your Startup.
You are not attending any parties (because most of the time you are not invited:-P)
Believe me Startups are like a baby. This is the one and only thing which man can give birth to but giving a birth is not at all easy, not at all cool. In fact in case of Startup man gives birth to his venture. He starts from the scratch. And 99.99% babies (Startup) gonna be abnormal at the time of birth. In fact it’s gonna be abnormal for several weeks, months. You just don’t know when you will be able to see your baby running.
If you are gonna jump in the pool of entrepreneurs and decide to Startup with your awesome idea, just do it.. In the journey, you will feel immense pain, your baby gonna hurt you badly.
If I talk about myself, I have spent 5 months in a process of giving birth to my venture(if you think, you are gonna spend 9 months in giving a birth to your venture and your baby gonna be normal, YOU ARE WRONG). Its like you are just living up on this planet earth for your venture and if this feeling doesn’t come to you then sorry boss! You are doing something wrong.
You wake up, sleep, shower, brush teeth, drive a car, ride a cycle, do jogging, running, cook food, read articles, chat with friends and while doing all this, you think about your Startup You think about its future. You find the solution of the problems while performing these entire tasks
So champs! If you have the passion to give birth to your child, to see him growing, to make him learn things, to help him survive from the disasters, from the very first day you are pushing your baby to stand shoulders to shoulders with the giants who lived their journey and giving birth to their own babies (companies give birth to sub companies but the father remains the same)
Just Go ahead. Never ever listen to anyone who says- don’t go crazy and don’t do Startup.
Even after the extreme loss about starting up, you ll be alive at the end. You ll be breathing at the end. Time doesn’t work for some people but do you really care about this shit. Its your life and your time. If you fail, get up again, give birth to another baby. Never ever stop 
We dream about our own future, we know if we get success we will rock the world, but do keep in mind, if you don’t get success, you still have a plenty of years left to prove your past wrong, to prove your odds wrong.
We all have got one life. Some 80-90 years at most. And this thing should fascinate us to work or perform something extra ordinary. It fascinates me to do my work and perform (don’t have much achievements till now but still….) so that I can make some change/s before leaving this process of LIFE/LIVING permanently. Forever.:-) because after 80-90 years, we all will be out from this universe, from this human creature , from this life……
We know we cant live forever, not a single human being. We all are gonna die but if there is one thing which can remain immortal, its your venture. Not even your actual blood relation child but its your venture, your business, your company which can live forever. Aim for such a company.
“And when you ll jump in this pool, take a deep breath in and out. Hold your breath now and jump but with your eyes wide open. At least see the fun in climbing or falling. In both the cases, fun is yours. You are a performer and you have to perform that’s your only job.Joker makes fun of himself and we think its cool but ask a joker he ll tell you its not at all cool. Likewise, seeing start-ups is cool but giving a birth to Startup and make it stand, run, push, climb is not at all cool. It’s a matter of life for your Startup and when it’s a matter of life, things are not cool. Things become extremely important. That’s how entrepreneurs roll out their day, their priorities and their life.”
I am at a very early stage of start-ups but realized such things in 5 months only. Just imagine after working for years how much we are gonna gain, how much we are gonna understand life, how much we are gonna make change/s in the world.
A world to Dream Big, Fail big, Achieve big.
