Obviously, everyone does not have the requisite mindset and determination to become a project promoter or entrepreneur. Some people have and they normally respond to entrepreneurial opportunities with enthusiasm, in spite of several obvious hurdles and risk factors.
With the Prime Minister’s start up India programme, many persons are examining the feasibility . However, it is seen that quite a number of them talk more about the problems and the hurdles and challenges rather than the prospects and opportunities in front of them.
Many persons point to the corrupt and lethargic bureaucracy and government machinery, political interference , problems created by rowdy elements , suffocating tax policies etc. as reasons that prevent them from leaving the paid jobs and starting ventures on their own.
While Modi government is trying to reduce and limit such problems, there is no way that such impediments can be totally removed in the immediate future.
In such circumstances, the positive minded entrepreneurs have to start and move ahead with determined approach to tackle the issue and succeed. Really, this is the thrill of being an entrepreneur.
It should be kept in mind that during the last several decades after India’s independence, several people without any wherewithal and who studied under street lamps ventured and became a model entrepreneur for others. Many examples can be readily cited. They all have achieved even in more difficult times with much more cumbersome procedures.
It is high time that the prospective start up entrepreneurs should be clearly told that starting a project cannot be a bed of roses and it cannot be for a person with a weak heart.
Let us hear more about the perseverance of motivated start up entrepreneurs who face hurdles and move on rather than the loud cries of complaints.
