Can you do something creative with your career? Definitely!
Entrepreneurship “Solving tomorrow’s problems with products that can barely be
built today in a profitable way.” ! - Aaron Levie (box.net founder)
Amazon - buying books online ! Google - indexing &
searching the web ! SpaceX - making space explorations affordable ! Tesla Motors - making futuristic electric cars ! Digital Ocean - making fast servers affordable ! Ideas are small. Executions are brilliant. Big companies from small ideas
Entrepreneur 1. Vision (ideas) 2. Product (execution) 3. Profit (result)
! Opportunity & Time (constraints)
Entrepreneurship is not glamorous. Entrepreneurs are not rockstars. It’s scarily
uncomfortable and stressful, every moment along the way. ! It’s not for everyone.
Control of things Oxymoronic behavior Learning is the best outcome
Failure It’s not reported by media. It’s unglamorous. ! WhatsApp
was born out of a failed job-hunt of its founder.
Best time is now To try and venture a few
things and get a feel of it.
You only need to succeed once - Big time Seemingly
insignificant ideas can turn huge. ! WhatsApp. Snapchat. Dropbox.

We have some guidelines for you
Thoughtworks, MuSigma, Adobe, Technology Startup? Working at a job? Work
for the best.
V8 engine → Node.js ? Websockets ? IoT ? HTTP
and caching ? while(true) { acquire new technical skills };
And acquire complementary skills Do the work you love the
most.
Work smart. Systematically exploit rules. Labor has a very low
ROI.
Experiment/explore a lot. Do scary and difficult projects. Try new
ways of doing things… What new did you try lately?
Make great friends. Discuss ideas, build projects together. You don’t
know who will make great a cofounder!
Share your idea. Validate. Don’t be secretive. Nobody bothers to
steal. Instead, get constant feedback.
Get a domain name. Make a personal website. yourname.com !
Create an online identity that is searchable and linkable.
Read more. Read books, not blogs ! Warren Buffet still
makes his best investment decisions by reading newspapers and journals.
Learn basics of Finance - even though you are engineers.
Nobody will care more about your money than you do. Tell me best way to invest money?
Jawbone, Fitbit, Philips Hue, Apple Devices Hardware + Software =
Scalable Business.
Why are Apple, Tesla, Virgin, Reliance successful? Learn from successful
businesses.
