Rohit Kochgaway was very upset with his boss for his rebuking
him today in office. He was very upset with his job. When he
reached home in evening his wife got the penalty for asking to
go out in form of bad mood. After one Hour at home, he exploded
the bomb.
He is quitting the cozy job and wants to go on his own.
Is that the right reason to start a long whirl winding journey
of business? Rohit was upset with the present job. Does it make
him knowledgeable enough to go alone. Is not it running from
present only?
If you want to be in your own business because you are ?sick and
tired of being told what to do?, because you want more
?freedom?, or because you are unappreciated or undervalued,
forget it. These are not reasons for starting a business; these
are reasons for running away from your present job. If you want
to ?make a lot of money?, that?s probably not a great reasons
either. It is a fine and Worthwhile goal, but if it is your
prime motivation it is not going to be enough to get through the
lean years.
Before starting our company I was a software engineer by
profession and I loved to program and design the software
packages. But I certainly do not wanted to live like a
programmer battling out there with the machine codes and
following someone else order even to why I should design the
very codes of my works.I also see a big opportunity coming on my
way in my industry. I jumped out and exclaimed ? That?s enough,
I want to enjoy myself working for myself and enjoy it too. And
also wanted to give it a try.?
Enjoy. I couldn?t afford not to give this new venture a try.
This, I believe , is at least part of the motivation of most
people who successfully start A new business: a feeling that if
they never tried they would always regret it .It is what gives
you the Momentum to get out the front door, to cut the corporate
umbilical cord, and what makes it possible To keep going , even
when everything else makes you feel like turning back. Starting
a business is a Financial and professional commitment. But even
more, it is an emotional one.
I have a friend who, five years ago, started what has become a
very successful apparel manufacturing Firm. He told me recently
that if he had known then what the first two years were going to
be like, he would have never gone through it.
We never had it that rough, but I could relate to what he was
saying. There are so many moments in Starting a new business
when the negatives outweigh the positives that any feelings of
satisfaction Are very small compensation. There are times when
it is the emotional alone that keeps you going.
