someday somewhere
the dream will realize
from nowhere
if today was a day of failure
tomorrow will be a day of success
sun shining all the way..
so what if there is no demo day
someday somewhere
the dream will realize
without a demo day
someday somewhere
you will stop chasing investors
and begin believing in self
to do it all on your own
and emerge successful

(This piece of writing is absolute fiction.. no relevance, coincidence with dead or alive and not intended to hurt any religious or any sentiments.. It is just a trend observed where kids are not taking care of their elders.. not sure why? but it is really sadenning to see elders wiping away their entire funds to groom kids, train and educate them and subsequently only to land themselves in mess..
wake up call for all elders to be careful and ensure everything is in your hand till you live and keep loving your kids all the way.. do not go overboard in emotions and repent later”
For youngsters : look at all the years of your life.. Friendship day also means being friends with your parents. I am sure all are friends.. if not, tomorrow is another opportunity for you
Happy friendship day
The spirit in me says PUSH SELF till you create a space for SELF.
The spirit in me says CREATE A SPACE to accomodate others to take small step towards Building FOUNDATION.
The spirit in me says ”Balancing act is all about remaining grounded even if you are not touching the ground in literal sense. ”
The spirit in me says ‘BE VARY OF BUBBLE GUMS which can build a good BALOON only to break sooner or later.. or get stuck to something unnecessarily.. so do not have a STICKY BALOON OF EGO, GREED, MALICE AND SELFISHNESS as that will some day or other make you get stuck to a mindless pursuit of acquiring and you will soon loose the sense of GIVING.
The spirit in me says BE A SPORTSMAN and accept failures. Success will again be yours through hardwork and determination.
PASSION is all about celebrating the HUMAN SPIRIT of patience and endurance which many had to fight for a cause.. so what if the cause is just a STARTUP?
STARTUP is all about researching and pivoting your idea to arrive at right business model and building traction around it to move it to next level.
Validating self
Am I going right
Am I going wrong
The Myths which I carry
The Perceptions which I think
Am I perfect?
Am I loving and caring?
So many thoughts
So little space
The brain needs no brainers
to think so much
Just be self and
validate that always.

failed ventures are ones which has issues around cash flows, entrepreneur, conflicts and multiple reasons could exist for same.
Donald has a penchant to take over failed ventures and turn it around… he has his latest call for all failed ventures..
Amy ”this is serious disruptive.. from where you got this idea”
Donald ”PASSION FRAMEWORK… one of its research is on not why ventures fail but to understand what it will take to bring it to success”
Amy ”cool”
Donald ”i had experienced huge failure in life.. almost bankrupt but with few of my sites.. with no taker.. and then in 2015.. i saw this blog PASSION FRAMEWORK.. and got into retrospect and felt from the multiple sites i created.. somewhere or other it failed due to either PROBING or INNOVATING or SCOPING or SETTING or OWNING or NURTURING or ACTING dimensions..
Now what it taught me is to identify a fresh face to the grave yard duck (the site built) and bring a fresh operational perspective.. and soon one of my site started gaining traffic”
Amy ”so what next?”
Donald ”just spreading this messsage to all.. that failed ventures with fresh perspective can also make a turnaround”
Will I get invested soon?
No
Can you connect us to few investors?
Yes
Will the investors look at our traction and get impressed?
No
Should I approach investors then or wait?
Wait..
But I dont have funds to bootstrap?
Pause and work part time too
Can the investor manage to give me at least money for me to do basic startup pre-requisites?
Common if you want to be an employee, then do that.. why you want to be an entrepreneur.
In nutshell individuals should not confuse entrepreneurship as another form of employment given by investors
