Entrepreneur takes a leap of faith

A lot of my friends come to me. They want to be entrepreneurs. They are otherwise working for somebody. They want to break the shackle and unleash their possibilities. Pursue their own dreams.

We meet, we exchange ideas, we analyze feasibility, we figure out financial details, and touch almost all aspects of a business plan. They listen, they show interest, they ask questions, they doubt and they dwindle.

They often look for security. Guarantee, or some kind of assurance that their invested time and money would pay off.


They fail to take the leap of faith. There is no guarantee of anything in this imperfect world, my friend! To be an entrepreneur, more than any thing else, you need to take a leap of faith.

Are you ready for this?
