“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
Status quo makes me feel uncomfortable. When aspects of my life are stable, I ensure that I do enough patchwork or damage to get myself off balance – I love it. I thrive on risk, overcoming challenges. To me entrepreneurship requires possessing the ability to analyzing potential risks, making the best decisions with the information available at hand, and later being flexible enough to alter the decisions as the environment changes.
Entrepreneurship does not necessarily occur only within startups but one can be an entrepreneur in big business too, and often times we don’t realize this quality about ourselves. Entrepreneurship is the risky path, not following status quo and charting your own destiny with methods that are not tried and tested and often times opposing common thought. Entrepreneurs believe in themselves, their ideas.
I believe entrepreneurship is a transition phase. It is the phase where we realize we must act on our beliefs to be successful at achieving certain goals or passions. Entrepreneurial thought is often used as a tool of last resort. It requires gaining knowledge that change is needed and unconventional steps must be taken to reach our goals. Successful entrepreneurs as a result are those that have already created something useful for society. Companies are formed through this passion to pursue the road less traveled. Personally, I love the freedom. Having the choice to shape products, organizations and lives with my beliefs is my driving factor.
I am Sushant Anand – I am an entrepreneur.
