Hi Mohit!Thanks for sharing such a valuable information. I do concur with you that these are some most important points, one should remember to make a successful startup. But I have realized over the time that these days people are a bit reluctant to invest in the ideas but rather invest once the startup gains a good user base. So, I would love to hear more from you about how to raise the seed money or to create the basic infrastructure. Cheers.
Hi Mohit,
Startup is very popular these days because startup is 100x times better than working for 9 to 5 job . actually in our blogging field there are lot of buddies who left their job and now working for blogging full time and earning better than job.
SO same with startup we need to give our complete effort to work .
thanks 🙂
Siddharth, good to see you again at my blog. Yes, if one is talented then definitely he can even make the impossible become possible. Actually, there is nothing impossible is a person is hard working. Bloggers as well as entrepreneurs need to give lot of time for their work for getting success. Everyone may not find entrepreneurship as good as a job as it needs talent, skill, confidence and many other things.
