Failure Stories Are More Important Than Successful Ones

We are living in a society where success stories are glorified and failure stories are horrified. Isn’t it so?
But believe me it’s terrible. We need to break this system. I will tell you why?
Let’s have an analogy.
failure story explanation

Suppose you are at the START point in the above picture. Now your destination is the END point. So you will be successful when you will reach the END point in the picture. Now if I tell you some success stories or events it will tell you about the END point. So you will get an idea about END point only. I’m not telling that it’s not required. But listening success stories means knowing the END point – the destination. That’s required only once to get the idea of END point. But the main effort is in the meanwhile i.e the road – the smooth – the rough – the anything possible road. As this road is not a straight line joining the START and END point. It’s a totally unpredictable, random road full of chaos. Like in the picture you can see different points in the road like A, B, C, D, E, F and G where some portions are smooth and linear, some are curve and rough and many more. And also this path is not fixed. It’s totally variable. So you can only get some probabilistic idea like most probable density of some events here which can help you to ease your journey. But don’t be scared. This unpredictable path is just fantastic, lively. And you can get to know about this messy road only from failure stories. From some failure stories you can get details of Road from START to A. From some other failure stories you can get to know the Road from A to B and so on. And even if you see the successful ones, you can see they have also completed this path to reach their destiny – the END point. But as they are currently in the END point our society is glorifying that one not the path they came across to reach there.
So my suggestion to all entrepreneurs is:
“Read failure stories more than the success ones. Know the path more to reach success than the success state itself. Once your success node or goal is set focus on the path – the messy path – the real implementation. And enjoy the journey. It’s blissful. It will make you wise.”
So all the best my friends.. Let’s build success on the base of failure.

10 Steps to Build a Strong Brand for Startups

Branding is the most important theme for a startup company. You have two option for your startup: Either make your company's brand. Or break your business. Right? But yes of course making brand is not that much easy. It requires too much effort, tremendous perseverance, Customer oriented vision and relentless hard work. But once you completed building your brand it's too much easy to carry on. Then things work in a non-linear fashion. And to set up your startup's brand you need to follow certain techniques and steps which I will discuss now. Step#1: Choose your brand's name: I have done several researches on this to determine whether a unique and catchy name is most important or any name is okay to build your reputation as a brand.

5 Should Be Goals of a Really Ambitious and Passionate Startup

Success rate in startups is too low which is a demotivating factor for the young entrepreneurs. So I was thinking how they can get rid of this fear of statistics backed failure. And they deserve it as they are mostly passionate and ambitious. But only being passionate and ambitious will not help you to achieve success as a startup founder. After diving deep into the core of my mind, I realized that following 5 things should be the goal of a really ambitious and passionate startup. Make platform or infrastructure not product: Don’t think about a product or particular service. That will not create long term revenue. Rather be mindful and think about some infrastructure or platform where people will give and take particular product or service. And then you can create big impact in the society. Successful Examples: Cloud, API, Google, Open Source, WordPress…….Aren't they?? Empower people: Don’t think about business – think about the empowerment of people. People i
