So there I was, 13-odd
years into a corporate career, finally deciding to take the plunge into the
vast and unpredictable world of entrepreneurship. True to my meticulous nature
and my ever-present excel sheet, I had spent time examining my options, done my
SWOT analysis, worked out the financials…basically I had done all possible
left-brain thinking and created scenarios, sub-scenarios and counter-scenarios.
And I sat back and wondered why this was the nth time I was doing this same
exercise when I hadn't moved a muscle in the right direction in the past, and
what was so different about this one time that I was willing to take the plunge
now, when I did nothing about it all those other times. For all you
employees-turned-entrepreneurs out there, what is that one moment - the trigger
- that gave you the courage (or the foolhardiness?) to 'just do it'?
