Leaving job? Planning to launch a startup? Top things to keep in mind

Entrepreneurship is a journey where you have to decide a new destination every day. It does not happen overnight. It requires patience, hard work, and an unshakable belief in your vision. Everyone has an idea but those who execute are the real winners. Entrepreneurship is not about quitting a 9-5 job and become a boss it is an everyday hustle where you are on a duty 24x7. The journey of every entrepreneur is different but what stays common is that they all start with observing a common problem face by society. After which they find the possible solutions to it. And this journey is all about how you serve people in the best possible way with your solution.
