After almost an year of experimenting stuff on the field... just when I took sometime to relax and realize a few things, I saw a huge wave of guys bumping on having LOADS of dreams in their eyes... The realization of 'Your boss isn't always right' seemed to be at its peak... Hopes its just not one of the trends of the Hype curve thou :D. Was just pondering over this concept of people getting into enterprenuership offlate... A lot of them have realized the fact that what ever they work for; rather whtevr they are paid for is just a percentage of the bulky stuff! Not that, the situation was something very different before... but people have been bold enough to take a step forward and experiment in the market. This has created a whole lot of enthusiasm waves!
Any organization to sustain over a long period of time with the same amount of motivation in the people has to grow horizontally! Should get into unknown areas of operations... It might take a few bucks and a few more scars on the face but that really is the only way out! If it doesn't succeed to do so, the whole drama of the top notch creaming off starts! When an enterprise doesn't start getting its work done by guys risen from the Bottom Of the Pyramid (BOP), it just cannot deliver new stuff! It always goes by the saying - 'You cannot expect things to change if you don't change the way of dealing with it!'
Having said all this, the whole thought process which was running through my mind since a week was the appropriate time for starting up! Well... the only answer which came out all the time was 'There is no std ans for this!' It seriously is never too late! I have come across people starting up at their 50s. At the same time, have come across people starting up rt after college... So, it precisely is an output of an individual's risk appetite. It all depends on how much can a person bear in order to get into what he is passionate about. Kalyan Verma for example - He just knew that he wanted to be the 'Mogli' of the jungle and entered the Western Ghats and learnt the tricks of the trade on the field for sometime... Then came the boom of photography (thanks to IT...) and boom he clicked his way out for existance!
Many more such examples are there... Hence it is never too late... Just start off with the intial set of ideas and things may fall in place at some point of time. Having worked in unorganized sectors for quite sometime now, I have realized the importance of getting your hands dirty when it comes to on the field jobs! It is always easy to play a blame game and works very well in organized sectors. But, to get things rolling whichever may be the sector one has to roll on the floor and get dirty ... aakhir - 'daag acche hai' :D ...
So guys who want to get out and get going, just do that if you feel you can sustain for sometime financially!!
Cheers,
