Founder's Struggle

For most entrepreneurs, the sole intent to do business is to create wealth for their own sake. However, during the struggle to continue or at least to sustain the business, there will be another epiphany comes to these folks' mind - bringing change to other people' lives.

Then for all we know later that our struggle to keep the company alive is due to the simple reason - the continuity for our employees to be salaried. Or at least our ability to pay them salary without glitch. So much for our belief that we thought our simple goal, which is to enrich ourselves, does not require any help. Boy, that was the biggest flaw in setting up a business!

The founders are humans too. They have feeling, attachment and emphaty towards their team members. While employees are busy working on their tasks, the founders are busy testing their hypothesis because this will decide if they can survive another day or not.

Then we also have to deal with other challenges as well like incompetency, creating the right culture, passion on the business and many more.

Sometimes I am surprised for how we cope with so many bullshit just to get done one thing. It's like it's a struggle for the founders on daily basis.

The founders' struggle.
