Having a bias for action is one of the top qualities I want my children to have when they grow up.
There are people who never get going with their ideas and projects for the fear of the How, the What, the So What, the What If and the list goes on.
And there are people who are relatively careless about much of the above. The Truth is, this group learns much faster.
Studying my bachelors back in 2012, like many others I had a limited budget to get by on weekly basis. An idea came to my mind, one where a platform would manage student grocery budgets and offer them personalised shopping baskets from major supermarkets.
The 2012 naive version of me woke up the next morning and registered an official company, calling it YomoYobo, and yes I've always been a genius at branding :D
Once the initial entiusiasm fizzed out, the harsh reality of resources needed to make this happen slapped me right on the face. 6 months later I wrote to the council asking their help to close the company down without any accounting charges.
Experiencing the failure for the first time hurt a lot at the time 🤕 , but I look back it and laugh 😁 Life's so boring without trying crazy things, ups and downs...
A year later doing my masters in entrepreneurship at Royal Holloway, University of London I decided to launch a student startup, a much more thorough plan, with smaller milestones and achievable goals.
My classmates told me it would be a waste of time to do it, but I knew I would learn a lot regardless.
That same year I was invited to pitch in front of Surinder Arora of @Arora_Group, sold the product I had developed to students at fairs, and won the Student Enterprise Award for 2013.
One of the most thrilling experiences I have had so far in my life. All because I ignored Nay-sayers, took a bit of risk and went ahead explore horizons I hadn't seen.
That journey still continues today...
