First & Second Startup experience – a comparison
June 10th, 2009 | 
Author: I had the opportunity to be a startup twice in my life. My first one started as early as a student and the second was with eight years of entrepreneurial experience. I just wanted to compare how it makes a difference and how I felt on both occasions. So here is a small comparison chart;
Â
|
First Startup Experience |

 |
 |

|
Fluctuations in motivation are High. |
At times motivations levels fluctuates. But experience shows how to overcome it. |

 |
 |
|
Fear of failure is less because there is not point to prove. |
Fear of failure is high because people expectation is high because of past success. |
|
 |
 |
|
Problem solving was poor. |
Experience has improved problem solving skills. |

Over all it is interesting to be a startup second time also I might think my piece of cake is being like a Serial Entrepreneur so that I always have the excitement of being a Startup. Anyway let me enjoy my second stint of being a startup and run the show until I loose my motivation.
