Why Should You Explore Business Opportunities?

For most Indian parents, success is equivalent to government jobs or high-paying private jobs. If their children do not have one or the other, the parents are likely to see them as unsettled. It would be more unsettling for them if those children want to become entrepreneurs and are working on their startups. Parents might even prefer low-paying private jobs over their business minds because according to them, entrepreneurship comes with more insecurities and risks. 

It is not only the parents who are likely to have such a fixed mindset. Most of the time, their children also comply with this mode of thinking. After all, we all want to be “settled” as the society understands this term. It is time, however, to change things as they have been and pursue business opportunities. Know that entrepreneurship might have been trending these days, but it is definitely not a new phenomenon. India was once the land of enterprising traders, and perhaps this is the right time for it to become such a prospering land once again!

My book “Decoding Business Minds” delves into great detail about entrepreneurship. The key points that people should keep in mind regarding businesses and jobs are as follows:

• When you work for a company, it is usually your service to other people’s dreams rather than your own. So, in place of doing a job, you should perhaps endeavour to work for your own dreams. No doubt, you must have thought of starting your own business some day. Why not make that dream come true right away?
• It definitely takes a lot of hard work, sleepless nights, and constant struggles to establish your business. Doing a job for money might not demand this much of you. However, it might also not give that much to you. Remember that your business gives you true independence and satisfaction. You have the freedom to make your own decisions, and who doesn’t want to decide their own actions? 
• I am myself an entrepreneur, or more specifically, a successful entrepreneur on wheel chair. Entrepreneurship does take a lot of efforts, but we all have the strength and the opportunities to make those efforts and take those risks. We just need to believe in ourselves. Let not your low self-confidence make you a follower of other people’s dreams rather than become a leader of your own.      
• When you do jobs, the most you can have is usually a pension. However, your business paves the way for you to leave a legacy behind. Not only you but also your future generations would benefit from the business opportunities that you explore. So, why not strive for legacy rather than pension? Why not strive for profits rather than increments? 

It is bound to be hard if you want to create opportunities for yourself and not seize the opportunities that others provide you. However, it is not an impossible task. Just have faith in your dreams. Be an explorer and venture out into the business world. Be excited, not afraid, because entrepreneurship is a whole lot of adventures and it is going to be worth it.
