Ideas have been crated and trashed by entrepreneurs since the introduction of the internet and utilizing its accessibility as a tool for marketing. So just imagine how many are those ideas already and others are still floating in this new phenomenon called the World Wide Web.

Today India appears to be poised for phenomenal growth and this could be well observed at the start of the new millennium. India is becoming a priority destination for different foreign investors and venture capitalists. Today’s knowledge-based economy of India is considered as a fertile ground for the upcoming entrepreneurs. As a result, the Indian businesses are now adapting the global competitive environment. But previously, this was not the case; most of the early entrepreneurs had to face hindrances in the path of their success due to various reasons such as inadequate opportunities, scarcity of capital, lack of technology and many other factors.

India is a conservative nation and most of the people prefer regular monthly pay rather than embarking on any business venture on their own. In India, people do have innovative ideas but translating these ideas into business enterprises involves many risks which they find difficult to tackle. This has led to an overall cautious mindset amongst the upcoming entrepreneurs. Even if an individual makes up his mind to start up an enterprise, he fails to get proper motivation, financial backup as well as proper sources for funding. The most common difficulties faced by Indian entrepreneurs are non-availability of good credit schemes and complexities in acquiring long or short-term loans. Also the Indian banks show lack of interest in entrepreneurial projects and put hindrances in processing the funding request applications. These constraints make an entrepreneur feel handicapped in initiating any kind of business venture.  Read Full Story...

As a sales trainer, I work with people from all walks of life who share a common goal—they want to learn how to emulate the success enjoyed by the top-ten percent of sales professionals in organizations both large and small.

People have many reasons to be motivated to attain that kind of success and in my experience entrepreneurs are especially driven. Here’s why. For them, it’s not just a job that’s on the line, it’s everything. Their livelihood is at stake! And the consequences of being anything other than in that top-ten percentile might be the difference between success and failure for their startup business. And in my opinion ALL sales people are entrepreneurs.Scott Shane, the author of “The Illusions of Entrepreneurship,” made it clear in a recent interview inBusinessWeekjust how high those stakes are for most business owners. “The myth is that somehow if you manage to hit the average or hit the median, you’re going to be fine. The reality is that the distribution is so skewed you have to hit the top for it to matter, and in fact, you have to hit the top 10% to have income as an entrepreneur better than what you would have gotten working for other people.”  Read Full Story...
