From the last two decades, startup-oriented mindset and motivation have been evident in youth, especially in India, from service-oriented professions and government services and planning the future following the safety and security of job posts to taking a risk and initiating ideas and implementing them into actions and providing it with a marketplace and deserved audience.
Doing a job or practicing your professional career is an excellent idea for kick-starting your earning and learning process and making something productive out of your time. But if you want to do something of your own, there is also nothing wrong with it. If you have a strong idea, the right intention, desired motivations, required skill, and correct guidance, the pool has plenty of seed funders dying to meet you to make your dream come true and ready to invest the most your startup requires. Do you think I am kidding? But no, I am more than serious. If you have the ability and passion to bring positive change to society and the environment, keep going, buddy. You are on the right track; do not lose hope and keep hustling for it. Please don’t stop until you make it.
