one fine day i finally mustered the courage to venture out in the open and check what do I stand for...well..almost..as u would have it the time that I chose to do it was not the best time..but then someone told me there never is a best time...and having lived so far in this stage and state i agree...many told me you were not ready....i didnt know myself...the only way for me to know was to offer myself and check if I was ready or not...some told me the choices in terms of partners may not work out....some of them were right...some were not so right.
Going against the traditional thought processes has its own rewards and injuries. As I come to the closure of this maiden venture as an independent consultant...word independent had so much meaning....i reflect on this time as the most memorable time in my professional life.
I do remember my own question during my SIBM days..i didnt quite understand that question at that point of time though I asked it to a guest speaker....but now it becomes more clear...its about going through your own experience and not so much about learning from others mistakes.
There were lot of doubts..mainly self-doubts..challenges..imaginary...real..yet the strong will that I could surmount them all and come out a winner..did I? If I reflect back then the answer is yes and no...yes because its like u start climbing a mountain..and reach upto a cetain point to return some other day due to bad weather...no because I could have gone higher in the time that I spent!!
But return I shall....I will...this mountain has the same charisma that Mount Everest has for any avid treker... and for any person who loves the world "independence" this mountain of entreprenuership would keep calling back....I hope that I would be able to scale it in less than 7 attempts!!!. This number 7 is omnipresent...james bond uses it....even in a research on indian entrepreuners it was found that the real success comes to them in the 7th year of the venture!!!
so though the part of the dream has finished the dream would continue to live and grow inside me. The next frontier am sure would offer lots of learning and prepration for the next trip on this mountain!
Its called "down-time" yet you are preparing for the next big assault!! Waiting! Watching!!
