To Start-Up or Not to Start-Up?

Economic Recession is like a land plagued with a drought. People are forced to make do with their imagination to come up with innovative ways of producing resources to create abundance. When the natural and obvious resources dries up, you have to stand up and start up "genetically modified" ones. This could be why start ups is plenty around during a recession. Reflecting on the past week I have had, I am more willed on making my start up a success.

I had the privilege of making a significant contribution to my current company's recruitment process. Witnessing how my boss explained how he started his own company 20 years ago, inspired me and of course the drama that ensued during the final candidate selection made me more determined on how much the freedom and independence of running my own business would satisfy me.

I am lucky to have met people who inspire me in my life, but the business world is a cut throat one. A world where the saying "you snooze you loose" rings true in every corner. I am beginning to realise, how business partnership is a rocky road. Trust, communication and most importantly how monetary gain tricks the human mind are all part and parcel of a business partnership. As I pave the way to economic freedom, these are the lessons that are moulding me.
