Rebel without a crew: which company should I start?
(last in series - which company should I start?)
We've identified factors/criteria that an entrepreneur could use to select a venture, and have talked about the importance of Bigness of the idea and understanding of people's needs. I believe that the most important traits of an entrepreneur is relentless passion and that should help you select the idea to start the new venture.
- What are you most passionate about (and where can you add value)?
- Ask Maslow: Which need in Maslow's hierarchy of needs is your idea addressing?
- How BIG, HAIRY and AUDACIOUS is your idea?
Starting anything up is characterized with difficulties. Honestly, it can get very rough (series of setbacks, unplanned time-wasters, interestingly wierd people to deal with, changing market conditions, etc.) One can only survive these setbacks and emerge out successfully, if he/she is supremely passionate about that idea. Life's too short, so please don't postpone it by working on things you're not passionate about.
