To all the Statups, struggling entrepreneurs and who are thinking of becoming an entrepreneur | Samira Zuberi Himika

(I am writing this note in a hurry (5 minutes) in a traffic jam. I actually don’t have time to write such important things most of the time. Today I made an attempt. Without any editing I am publishing it on FaceBook. So ignore my bad writing.)

To all the Statups, struggling entrepreneurs and who are thinking of becoming an entrepreneur.

The word "Entrepreneurship" may sound very cool.You may find the whole idea of becoming an entrepreneur very trendy, amusing or sexy. You may just want to try it because you are inspired my people like us who are giving great speeches/talks or mentoring you in many events or may be because some of your friends are trying it out having a Startup.......

For you all, my true suggestion is - before you take this path for whatever the reason, its good to know some facts from an honest and passionate entrepreneur (me).
-      It is god damn hard work. You have to let go or give least priority on most of the other things you are good at, best at.
-       It is not a seasonal fever. You just cannot stop being an entrepreneur one day just because you don't feel like doing it anymore. Becsause your commitment, other’s job and dreams are depending on you.
-      Entrepreneurship is a LIFESTYLE. This is a new world all together. Here you may have to sacrifice best things of your personal life...because there is no difference between the 'personal life' and 'professional life'.
-      It is a everyday fight with yourself, your co-workers, your board, you supply-chain, your clients and most importantly the external factor on which you have no control over.

All that I have written and many that I have not, are true scenario for REAL entrepreneurs. This is a true pattern of entrepreneurial life, be it world's richest ones, powerful ones, influential ones, successful ones or budding ones. They all live this life everyday. If you ever have chance to meet them, you can ask. If they are truthful they will tell you.

But entrepreneurship is the answer for development. It is the key to unlock one’s fortune, country’s fate and future of human kind. Because we bring the innovations, creativity in the market. Most of the times an entrepreneur is a mix of so many things, not just a marketer. We are inventors, craftsman, business developer, new market creator and producer of millions of goods, products and services required by a society, community, country and beyond.
If you are choosing this life realizing the responsibility and the possibility of the amazing greatness (fame, money, respect etc.) you must also know the other side of the coin. Today I tried to give glimpse of that. Now you are enrolled to the incredible 'Entrepreneurial life'.

P.S. Never take suggestions about/on your dream or initiative or enterprise/company/organization from a person who never walked that road before. You are better coach than him/her.
