After a long hiatus the Angerpreneur is back with lots of stories of hatred and anger!

Life as entrepreneur comes with its own set of compounded challenges. Amongst the scarcity of several other resources, what pinches the most is perhaps the scarcity of time. It often becomes literally impossible to take time out from the daily rigmarole of juggling priorities by the dozen, operational details, tactical plans and strategic imperatives all at the same time. That is perhaps the most plausible explanation of the long hiatus.

The journey is so consuming that there's barely enough time to even document it!

Since the last post much has transpired in the life of our fledgling start-up. New clients, new mistakes, the first invoice, the first attrition, the first really ugly internal confrontation, new well-wishers, new motivations, new quarter plans, the first investor discussion and several revised business plans later what angers me the most is the 'fakeness' of people. (Don't even know if that's a word!)

There are too many people who'll want to start up with you with the unmatched eagerness. They'll talk about sharing the passion of wanting to create something valuable together. There's a lot of initial chest-thumping and hoo-haa about going to war together!

But as the bruises of war get deeper and the pain of failing keeps getting prolonged, you begin seeing the first signs of the weaker ones chickening out. Surviving prolonged periods without any success, having to dig your heels in that much deeper and keep looking at the longer-term picture isn't easy for a lot of them. Lets face it, the ideals of entrepreneurship sound fancy from a distance but when you are in the thick of it you need men made of sterner stuff.
