My office manager recently told me that the tally of my visiting cards collection has touched a count of 9000. That means, in the span of 15 years of being a startup entrepreneur, I have met almost 600 people a year or about 3 new people a day (considering holidays)!
Amongst these 9000 people, many of them are blue-blooded "professionals" who have often tried to "start up" — only to fail and go back to their comfortable ivory towers (large companies). What are the common mistakes these wannabe entrepreneurs make when they try to startup, especially when they come from formal, established organisations?
