I consider myself a failed entrepreneur. That's because I don't think there is any such thing as success. You are always chasing something - and till such time, you are in pursuit of success.
Experiences come from Failure. And Failure is nothing but making mistakes. Since there is no absolute 'right' in business, one is bound to keep making mistakes, and hence face failure, and accumulate experience.
I have been a young, spirited Steve Jobs inspired entrepreneur who believed in changing the world. I further believed that create a compelling product, and money will follow. I had my own notions based on readings I had done from other people's experiences. Then I set out for the task myself.
I did everything that leads to the path to success. Built a team, built products, raised capital, hired people, sometimes fired people (for the right reasons), went through cash crunches, experienced the million dollar effects, covered in newspapers and magazines. signed large multi-million contracts. All you can think of, short of taking the company public.
Been in office politics, fights with investors, fights with team members, negotiations, making up, hugs n kisses, and finally delivering products to the consumer.
These are my experiences, and insights from my journey.
