So you want to do a startup, eh? (Slideshare)
Through working in the start-up environment with our own start-up – Mindjumpers, the start-up environment around social media and collaborating with other start-ups in the entrepreneurial venture I am connected to – Akasha Ventures, I believe I have gotten a pretty good look into the world of start-ups.
It´s for many – the land of dreams and anything is possible. I often gets shocked over the lack of reality from people thinking that making a successful start-up is just a good idea and then faith. People – its God damn hard work!!!
Through the last three years I have seen the look in peoples eyes, not really getting why I work so hard – well he must just be a weird guy that loves to work, he probably just hate to hang out with friends, family, see the world and enjoy him self – and this could not be further from the truth.
I have committed myself to a dream of building a company, a few people here and there are successful of doing that with a minimum of work, but for everybody else probably 90% of entrepreneurs – its a commitment of hard work.
I stumbled upon this fantastic presentation by the brilliant author Tara Hunt on Slideshare – it says everything – enjoy!
