Completing the game!

Over last 7 months, I was struggling. Struggling to keep up my word on revenue target, to somehow make my business work and to continue moving on this path to be a Billionaire before 35.

But, I have failed in making it work.

I know 'I' didn't fail. As long as I have all your love, I can never ever fail. But, the idea failed. Whatever I was trying hasn't worked and my several attempts at salvaging it hasn't worked either. I spent 15 months in making repeated effort to make things work that weren't going to happen anyway. And each one of that attempts failed too!

It wasn't without reasons. I was headstrong to begin my innings as an entrepreneur paying no heed to my well-wishers who always maintained it wasn't sound enough idea. I started without regard to them or my own skills, network and market conditions.

I wasn't even equipped to do this well enough, leave along knowing what it takes to be a Billionaire. I hardly know what it takes to be a Millionaire, a billion is still a thousand times away!

I'm wiser now. I know it takes a lot of more preparation to be a Billionaire. You may be able to climb the ladder quickly, but you got to deserve the next steps before moving on to it. Your speed is dependent heavily on a lot of factors, including, among other things, the robustness of your engine. I also know now what you learn at each step of this ladder is much more important than what you earn.

So, what's next is rebuilding. A new start. I will keep you posted on what it looks like.

Sometimes in life you tie yourself down by your own goals and ambitions. Slowly, you forget it was your own game. Now when you get out of it, it feels like a whole new world is ahead of you. At this point of time, I feel free. I know I have a choice. And I know I want to fly again!
