t appears as time passes we are seeing an increasing
glamorisation of entrepreneurship, start ups and the
associated buzzwords. Hopefully with this mag we offer a
more practical and pragmatic view for our readers.
Suddenly it seems everyone wants to be involved with
start ups, build a prototype, pivot, get customers, pitch to
investors, raise money, get more customers, and of course
get acquired by a much bigger fish. If only it was that simple.
And anyway, not all entrepreneurs and businesses are geared
towards the tech industry which spurts out most of these terms.
I meet many people who talk about their ideas, but relatively
few who are proactively acting upon them, choosing to give
up well paid jobs, commit time and their own money with no
certainty of success. They just never seem to get round to it.
It’s hard to take that next step.
Truth is, entrepreneurship is far from glamorous. It’s
mentally tough, filled with sacrifices and I’m sure many
people wouldn’t recommend it. So perhaps we should forget
any hype or the mirage of glamour that seems to accompany
start ups these days, and just get on with the hard work of
building our business ideas.
If you want to paint, go find a canvas, and just start painting.
