What mistakes you need to avoid at the early stage of a start-up?


Guys, Just I am sharing the basics thing which most of the start-up fail to get in the intital years. I was like on the cloud nine, when I get the concept of start-up. I got fascinated like every person. Too much to start soon. But the bitter harsh truth was that I didn’t have any penny to do business. I let my dreams to built one after the another. With millions dollars in the eyes. I got involved in start-up events and not be suprised if somebody has fonund me in the bubble of start-up events.
I loved those beautiful years. Being the new comer to this field. Excited by the concept of innovation and impact. I loved it the most. But didn’t recognised many things inbetween, which left me all alone slowly but steadily. Which are those. Lets take a look:
1. Ideation
Having no idea what I will do being a start-up was first mistake. Just want to start-up and get there at the stage of limelight. Then being in college and free too dream anything and nothing like I won’t be there. I would be there at any cost. But All sucked and hit me hard with the truth of a start-up. No skills which will add value or would have impact on the society.
After reading alot on the net with fixed data, somehow manage to get the sufercial knowlege that do simple things which you love. With that note, I liked to solve the problem of my university to have easy admission process. By copying the idea from some entrepreneur. In a sense, yes there was problem. But I failed to implent and the foremost reason was no ability to develop a website to integrate all these things at one place. It took 4-5 months to leave the idea and do something more useful. Again the same problem rised. Now what. Lets look at 2nd option.

2. Tech Partner
Year was 2016, chilled morning of Delhi hit me hard. But I lived to dream big and achieve soon. That motivation keep me awake. Days and nights I fought for my dream of doing something which will help me to achieve and get there where I wanted to be. I choose to roam across the city with begaging hands to help me build it. Due to lack of skills of technology, I even able to accept it with 50% equity. But that didn’t worked out somehow. What was the reason. Still a mysterios for me. I was doing simple things, which I think must have added the value. That is helping the fellow students to get the part time work while studying. Not MLM or scheme. Just genuine like Tutoring, writting, office assitant or which can be dealt on part time. I convinced the IT guy and he said o.k. But didn’t worked as I was expecting. And with due time, momentum changed and my college was about to end. I have to take call for my career. I left all the placements concept. Everything was lying at the far end. So, choose to dropout of my current project. That ended with a note to let stop this journey for a while and do something logical. May be a govt job. I started but failed to match with the highway and traffic jam. I landed with the hopes but ended with depression.

3. But What I got
Do you know What I got in this journey? The beautiful dreams and tons of bad experiences. Which happened to be disastrous for me till I realised the importance of the experiences from that journey. It’s one and half year past, struggling to focus and do some logical work but it draged me to read alot and research where was the mistakes that had impacted my life so hard. I cant even able to rise again for the same. But the dreams of doing is still in the heart. I don’t know why I wanted to be a start-up founder. May be I am looking for money or fame or real change. But I wanted to invent more and more. Do lots of work. Fail but rise again. When I work seriously for 12 hours. I get satisfaction else I feel under pressure. Its been so long then also I am not able to quit the habit. This is the power of doing something senseful work.

What to happened to ideas, some of those ideas which I found in those time are still working. Thats why I thought to share. After looking past, I got many things which is making sense. Moral is that connecting the dots of the past make sense.
So, try and fail but learn to not repeat the same mistake.

Share with those who needs it the most.

Told by the associate that it's youth event where you can interact and talk alot about entrepreneurship & innovation. Lots of big businessman. Bright people, have  reach direct at the top class businessman that you see in the newspaper or TV. I got amazed that really i will get such a chance to interact.
