?

I don't know what I am going to write about. I am trying to write after a long time, as you can make out from the difference in dates from previous blog. Why did I stop writing? I think I have undergone another transformation. It has come in terms of business. I have become a businessman from an entrepreneur. The word entrepreneur has a lot of charm and sex appeal attached to it. Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur, no one wants to be a business man, but I am rambling now...

So anyways, coming back to point, I was once an entrepreneur. Proud that I had given up a cushy corporate life for a life of hardship as an entrepreneur. I had this arrogance in me that I did not give up a shitty job to do shit in my own business. So I rejected doing anything that gave me any of sort of mental discomfort, or took away from my daily pleasures. For ex. - I didn't want to do anything that would not give me time to read, to cook, to chill in the afternoon etc. I also had a point to prove to people who told me I was crazy to give up a job and start a business. I wanted to show them.

But now my philisophy in life has changed. Right now my philosophy can be best encapsulated by China's ex-premier Deng Xiapong's statement "to be rich is glorious" when China first started moving towards capitalism.

I want Unnati to be rich. I want to financially comfortable. I have now realised that the purpose of starting a business is not to make a point. The purpose of starting a business is to make money. A business above all else must be done for a profit motive, otherwise there is no point in doing the business.

So that is the major change in my life. But somethings have still not changed, and that will be hopefully the subject of my next blog.
