<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some said they had family commitments to fulfill and hence they canâ€™t quit their job.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some said they work to gain experience which would be helpful when they start a business.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some said they are waiting for proper timing (Some said market is at itz high and waiting for correction &amp; some said it is recession).</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some say they donâ€™t have enough capital to start a company.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">There were many more reasons which sound crazyâ€¦ Though I respect their reason be it genuine or not. I canâ€™t buy their reason for delaying their entrepreneurial ambitions because;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narayana_murthy">Mr.Narayanamurthy</a> founder of <a href="http://www.infosys.com/">Infosys</a> had a family (Wife &amp; 2 children) when he started Infosys. Commitments are man made and we have control over our commitments and we have to plan and control our commitments to bring out other desire.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Job experience and business experience are different ball game and when one starts a business at any point of time (with or without experience) they have to come across challenges.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Timings canâ€™t be timed because when market is on a high note there will be business but costs are high and when there is a recession costs are low but business will be poor. Always there is no right time to start a business or to put it optimistically every time is right time to start a business.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Always one need not have capital to start a company. There are many ways to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(business)">bootstrap</a> and one must read success stories how they bootstrapped in they their early days.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">I personally didnâ€™t have much job experience when I took up entrepreneurship but today I gained much <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">knowledge and experience</strong> which is required by an entrepreneur. But my friends who started business with 8 years of job experience are overcoming the same challenges which I came across.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">One more thing which I want to tell every striving or wanna be entrepreneurs is â€œStart something immediatelyâ€ only then you will create a focus and can find your path. Until then it will be a chicken and egg story&#8230;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let me end this blog with this note;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Â </span></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ship is always safe in the shores but it is not built for that.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Start small Think big Work on quick iterations.</span></span></li>
