Read your blog for the first time and enjoyed it. Great to see someone writing from the heart about entrepreneurship because thats what it is. Best of luck for your venture.

It’s not money “or” something else as the driver, but it seemed to me that you are saying money alone is not powerful enough force to engender the motivation and passion you feel for Tekriti. Just like love itself, there is something “in additon to money” that creates that fire. On an analytical level, the incremental _potential_ for money in an entrepreneurial pursuit often gets harder to justify compared to the incremental responsibility and workload. But it is this “something else” (passion, satisfaction, organization building) that tends to tilt the balance.

Anyway, excellent post.

Joy – yes, agreed. That is why the success was under quotes. :-) Even though I also have a lot more respect for the ‘favorites who never made money’ – I find it harder for myself to follow their foot-steps.

Here’s the link on other reasons for being an entrepreneur: http://kidsdevelopment.blogspot.com/2007/02/entrepreneurship-money-or-salvation.html.

Being an entrepreneur, I cannot help but notice the differences in opinions that we may have towards entrepreneurship.

Check out what could be other to become an entrepreneur.

Thanks,

Goenka ,Bill Gates and also Dhiru bhai Ambani . I wonder if you read about the villager who spent 18 years making a path between two mountains to make life easy for the villagers .If there is any parameter to measure success I think it is the way one can make the difference in the lives of people one interacts with .Enterpreneurship is about taking the thing forward ,creating jobs etc. My fond wish on Tekriti’s second birthday is that it would definitely visibly help mankind .HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEKRITI .

Taking a step back and taking a stock of what was done(happening) and what we want to get done or where I want to head is very important. The very process could be difficult and painful but the end result will help simplify things and eventually one’s decision making.

I believe starting a business is much more than just making money. It surely is a purpose beyond making money. I think it is an opportunity to drive your own destiny and to make a difference.

Please stop pondering questions related to the theory of entrepreneurship since its not a theory based subject. We would love to hear about actual challenges you are facing and how to work around them or atleast a bulleted, interesting top-ten style that people like Guy Kawasaki is using
