Trying to be an Enterprenur

The idea of this blog is to list down my actions and struggles to capture my journey to be a Business-man.

I have been thinking to be an enterprenuer for a long time(since i was a kid), but last May (2007) when i was returning back from a short trip to India, i was really not willing to return. I was reading few books on enterprenurship (Monk who sold ferrari, book. But i always felt i need to take a risk to get to the next stage. It was May 4th and i gave myself till the end of May to decide if i will ever be an enterprenur. By the end of May actually May 24th i was really excited about Online retail idea and i felt i never have problem with not finding a customer in such a business, that too in India i will have customers forever. My friends around supported me very well. I decided that day to go back to India for good on my enterprenur journey in exactly one year. Today i am writing this blog after almost 1 year and now its time for me to go back. Yes i am looking forward to go back.

During the past 11 months i have done as much research i could, i have registered my company, my website is almost done (have had problem to face with that), i have spoken to few suppliers (few problem i have gone through), i have secured my finances(few problems i had to go through and still going through ha ha). I no more feel working for a Top Hedge fund company in the Square Mile, The City that exciting. I feel starting something on my own is more exciting. Many ask me if i am not sad for not working in the City, i am not. I do miss all friends at Tyler Capital and looking to start a company as succesful as Tyler capital.

I met many business people in the past 10 months and their advice is to have 2 ideas alteast before i quit my daily jobs, i am currently unaware of the reason why they say that. The core of my abmition lies somthing in waste managemnet and energy generation. Taking their advice i have 2 ideas which i really like and feel i will do really well 1) Online retail and 2) water treatment both of these are linked in many way to my Long term abmition to have a business which is Socialally beneficial and personally rewarding and also interesting for me.

I would keep posting my updates, anyone interested can comment on it.
