Some people i'd like to thank
- Those who have written tutorials on the web for others to follow. Those who have put up articles for free so that other not go through the errors/pains they have gone through.
- All those who have contributed to open source development
- To all those who have helped keep the internet a democratic free phenomena
- All those who worked towards the vision of a world of equal opportunities
- (And the list shall continue)
Entrepreneurship
Having worked with a few entrepreneurs over the past 4 years, i think i have some insights to share with the world, some of that things that i think constitute a winning formula.
- Firstly immense belief. You need to be ready to go an extra mile to get stuff done.
- Be ready to expand and grow.
- Don't have managers in your team initially, the do-ers are the people you need to build a product.
- Marketing is something you will learn slowly
- Be ready to forget your life for a while
- Network, network, network - The importance of the right idea to reach the right investors and the right user group is immense
- Make sure your group has people with energy, and those who can have (as Stanford MBA puts it) suspended disbelief ie. be ready to do things that dont show an immediate result
- Focus on execution. You dont know how much confidence it gives to get a version 1 out. You can fine tune eventually.
