What is the reality of startup life?

First, let me show off my Mercedes and then I will talk about startup realities.

Because I’m building startup myself so you can count on me.

Okay, you got me, won’t be able to buy one anytime soon.

But this is what we are sold by movies, right?

That if you start your business you will:

— fly a private jet
— own luxury cars
— billions in the bank
— become your own boss
— cool tag of “CEO, CTO, COO”

But the reality is not only different but harsh.

When you start up, for the first few years-

— You can’t buy a new pair of shoes(You can but you don’t want to. You save every penny)

— Hardly surviving with a minimum salary

— Money in the bank? Maybe in the distant future

— You as your own boss? You are literally working harder than anyone else in the company and, even on Sunday, you are terrified to take a rest.

The only thing that keeps you going is that -

“You are creating something which is impacting thousands of lives and will impact many millions in the future."

Impact-driven mindset is something that gives you strength.

Startup with the right motivation :)
