The Struggle - The Experience

I am still in the same state as far as the orders are concerned, but i have made few contacts which i believe are very good contacts. I also got a chance to get to the government level seniors, great experience, i am happy to have convinced them to provide 50% subsidy to farmers if they put my water treatment unit, now i have to catch farmers who would buy my unit. I used to think it is easy to get contacts, but it is not easy. We might know many people, but contacts would not turn into possible messenger for our business, lots of hard work and repeated follow up seems to be very required. I can now see why many do not continue to do business, its the initial struggle, when we talk about business we do know there will be struggle, we cannot imagine the extent of struggle we might have to go through, when seen practically there are 1000's of factors which forces you to feel, its tough and gets you depressed, few people who have failed also give discouraging comments, equiping ourselves to handle these, is a key factor for an Enterprenuer.

With me, i am now in a state where i feel there is lots of long term opportunities, but short term lots of pain to suffer. Pain is very emotionally related and sometimes can be financially related, for now i am not under financial trouble, thanks to my U.K employers for 4.5 years. Pain can be Like a customer would give you an appointment for 10A.M and makes you wait for 5 hrs as if he is doing a favour and meet you at 3:00P.M. and speak to you as if you made him wait ha ha ha. I have made one possible customer just because of waiting for hours, he is supposed to be very arrogant to many people, but he was very silent and soft when speaking to me, may be bcos he made me wait. I hope he would give some leads, lets see.

Fear of not getting orders sometimes pushes me down, but i have read many business articles where Business people wait for years to get their orders. Also my Dad and mom are very encouragind and they give me examples of perseverance. Also few very good friends, keep on encouraging me, i am blessed to have such people around me. I am confident of getting big orders in 2-3 months, or may be 6-8 months, whatever it may be, all i am going to put is Hard work, extreme hard work, everyone believes there is always returns for hard work. I too believe in it, lets see what hard work means ha ha ha.

There is a saying "To meet the GOD, you might have to first meet GOD's messenger", similarly to meet the actual official who can authorise some purchase, we might have to speak to 10 people on the way, even the security to the door would ask 100's of questions. I had same sort of experience in one of the insititutes, Oh My God, each of these people want your Bio-Data ha ha ha...Not sure how many of these i might have to go through untill customers contact me for orders.

Great new exciting world of Business. Lots of learning and lots of sturggle seems to be very necessary.
