Had the opportunity to enjoy few beers, meal and laughters with bunch of local entrepreneurs and investors. First impression – wow, everyone is so…normal! Quite contrarary to what I had imagined. As the night went on, I got to learn more about each person (some of them, I knew well). Almost all of them have made their share of ‘success’ in financial realm but also very proactive at finding new opportunities to multiply as well as to help people.
I didn’t get one sense of arrogance, or pride in any of them. But rather, humility and passion in what they did. No one squanders their money in clothing, car or toys. They talked about mistakes just as normal person would.
It was really an eye opener for me in the recent weeks as I walk through this journey of stepping into the entrepreneurial walk and start up life, you don’t have to be an annoying bastard to be successful. Quite frankly, those who are annoying bastard, loaded with money and treat people like crap, ends up on the bottom. You reap what you sow. Very true.
