The power of NO

And finally, I bumped into a very meaningful and very insightful article: Check it out here.

The answer by Oliver Emberton gives a near point-by-point mantra of going about starting your company. The bottlenecks you have while going through the tough phases and the reason these bottlenecks are important, are well articulated in the article.

It emphasizes on the fact that we want to do a hundred things. As the ones just entering the field, we are tempted to do million things at once. Apple understood the power of saying NO, of keeping it simple. It's best when you are the "jack of all trades, master of 1". While starting your business, one should not focus one's energy in multiple fields. Start simple. And do, whatever small you do, in a very unique way.

As truly stated, there is a great power in the word NO. One will be tempted to do lucrative things. Will try to jump into all sorts of businesses. But one should understand his/her calling and the divident NO gives.

Create or Wait??

So what is the right thing to do? Acquire knowledge and then go into the field or go and have an on-the-go experience?
I often wonder how I wanted to start my own company and how I am waiting for a right moment. Right moment? Yes, so that I have the proper knowledge and skill set. So that I become self sufficient first.
On the other hand, why wait? Greats in the business are not all MBA grads, they never had the proper knowledge, they never waited!
A constant tussle in the mind. To complete the backlogs, to bury the burden or to just go with it leaving everything aside. Seeing off the loan is an agenda whereas to own a company is a dream. Guess will have to wait for the 'right moment'.
