Idea Overflow…

Well… Ideas, by themselves, are worthless. Unless there is proper execution, ideas will go nowhere. To execute, you need focus and persistence. Unwavering focus on your ultimate goal.

image While some of the aspiring entrepreneurs wither away trying to find that ‘perfect idea’, several others suffer from a different syndrome - one that can be attributed to ‘too many ideas’. These idea whores cant stop coming up with new business ideas. They tend to get so overwhelmed with all the new ideas, that the net result is that they cant focus on implementing any single one of them. As soon as they start implementing one idea, their mind wavers to the ‘next big thing’. At the end of the day, they’ve not properly explored a single idea.

I’ll admit - I’ve succumbed to this wavering myself, a couple of times.

HCM is my first enterprepreneurial experience, I’ve learnt one very valuable lesson - based on my discussions with my partners who are successful entrepreneurs and several other successful entrepreneurs and businessmen.

Entrepreneurship takes discipline and persistence. Everyone gets ideas. Ideas are cheap and easy - executing on a particular idea is the difficult part.

What do you think ? Have you suffered from the ‘Idea Overflow’ syndrome at any point? …Let me know… ;)

Do you love what you are doing?

image Be it Guy Kawasaki or be it Paul Graham or be it Steve Jobs - every pundit swears by the mantra that you should do what you love. If you do not enjoy what you are doing, there are very few chances that you will be successful in it.

So, here’s a question for those of you reading this post -

  • How many of you actually love what you are doing ?
  • If not, are you doing anything to change that ?

Feel free to leave your responses via anonymous comments. It would be great to get a feel of how many of you are actually pursuing your passion, whatever that might be…

The theory of 80:20 perfect applies to Indian Tech  Industry… my good friend Amit Darda defines the 80:20 theory as…

Almost all working people in corporate world must have heard about this. but still today no body is serious about this and day by day this ratio is increasing.

80:20 means it is a ratio of non working employee vs working employee. In almost all the offices in world only 20% of employee do work and 80% enjoys. Today with the new work culture, I feel this ratio is increasing as most of the employees don’t want to work. They just want big money for small work.

I seen many such cases and they are so lucky that even they get the places like this.

Often, people don’t find any enjoyment in the work… they are usually a part of a project & some other major stuff like that where there are 60 or 100 people like them are working for the same thing, thing which they might called an MNC project for some big-fish MNC client… and things which they miss are Recognition, India & Satisfaction. Personally, when I was working for my last company, though it was a midsize product company I was pretty aware of all these things. And, at start of my career this was the main reason I did not accepted offers from services companies in the town, though they were offering me much more than what I started with at my last company, but I was mainly looking for quality of work, team & recognition of things/work I do. I started-off as a freelancer in my college days, then the company I joined-in after college was pretty entrepreneurial. That helped me expanding my vision.

Nothing special about this post, It is not like that I’m not liking what I am doing… I’m loving what I am doing & I always love what I do…

This is just a post to see what you people think around about what you are doing rightnow…? Usually, I come across many people, many friends of mine… Even if they’re not doing anything they are pretty happy, and they pretend to be happy earning money for doing nothing in their office space, but sitting & googling & FWDing mails to their gangs, This is what we define as “typical employee minded”. Sitting & passing the month in the cube, almost doing nothing…  95% people I meet or know  are working for IT companies in the town and they are either not happy with their current work, boss or manager or looking for a change. Especially in the Indian Tech Industry, which is purely a service industry in our country… You must be familiar with terms like “sitting on the bench”… and stuff like that, So…

My question is why to sit if you can walk, you can do & most of all, you can think…?
