Every single entrepreneur book i read in past couple of months talk about, how i should  "follow my passion and do something i love".

Truth is, working for a small startup means u need to keep in mind the big picture and accept that you have to do things you don’t enjoy. That involves doing photoshop works, analyzing user data or talking to customers.

It can be tough times, just don't give up.

I might not be able to change the world (right now) but, I can change the world around me and hopefully inspire the people in it.

I wouldn't say i "idolize" Jobs after reading the biography, but i still consider him a hero. His arrogance and narcissism is justified in the end; an inflated self-image is unbecoming in someone mediocre, but Jobs really was a special and important person.

Remember one thing… winning isn’t normal.  That doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with winning.  It just isn’t the norm.  It is highly unusual … So it requires unusual action.  In order to win, you must do extraordinary things.

Excerpted from Winning Isn’t Normal by Dr. Keith Bell

I found these documents while going through docstoc.com. looks very helpful.


 as someone once said, 
"failing to plan, is planning to fail."


Startup pitch presentation - business plans are dead

10 qts to consider when starting a new business - short Executive summary

10 mistakes to avoid - once you decide to start.

Financial projection template - i should have paid more attention in accounting classes :(

Business plan deck - more graphical starting point

Theodore Roosevelt from a 1910 speech  given in Paris, an analogy to today’s entrepreneurs:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

if you are an entrepreneur, forget the naysayers and just do what your heart tells you to do. you may be wasting your time, but at least you got into the arena. and if you fail, make sure you fail while “daring greatly.” Then, get into the arena again, having learned from your mistakes.

I recently tried out CleanMyMac and love it. It cleared caches, logs, unnecessary lang. files and a bunch of other useless junk that had accumulated over time and all in one initial search. The main advantage of using CleanMyMac is the simplicity on offer. No advanced knowledge is needed to determine which files can be deleted – everything is handled automatically. If you’re suffering from a sluggish macbook or a lack of hard drive space, CleanMyMac is definitely worth looking into. Other alternatives include:

so here are some reasons why your start-up will fail.

  • You’re only motivated by money
  • You give up when things get hard.
  • You’ll get excited about something else
  • You don’t really believe in what your doing, making or selling
  • You lose interest because you took too long to bootstrap it
  • You believe that your ‘awesome’ product will gain automatic distribution.
  • Unsupportive spouse (It applies especially when you’re obsessing over your passion)
just keep them in mind, but don’t let them stop you.
