History books are full of significant names, yet missing yours!

• The best decisions in life are the ones you don’t make; this needs a bit of explanation. It implies that if you have got to make a decision to start a business or dedicate your life to something, it’s better be the best thing to do. Be afraid of loosing your time.

I see entrepreneurship now as a marathon race; there are many similarities that make me say any one who wishes to become an entrepreneur should run in a marathon race before he/she starts

• You get to run with the best, the champions
• The race is for all, the rookies and the pros
• Once you start the race, everybody cheers up and sincerely wishes you success
• Along the way, families, friends and strangers keep motivating you and encouraging to finish the race
• You have to be on a plan and use your strong legs; otherwise you go out of fuel very soon or fall
• Run your best
• You can see the pros way ahead of you venting their way through the finish line
• Yes, you are competing with them in the same race
• Along the way, you have to learn it is not all about winning and there are people ahead of you
• It’s a long, challenging and maybe frustrating journey
• Learn to enjoy it
• On your way to the finish line, wisely use the resources available to you and use them efficiently
• Once you get close to the finish line, you need extra thrust to finish
• Make sure your shoes are the right ones to run with
• Definitely carry water with you
• Know about the elevation along your path and adjust your pace accordingly
• Other runners will pass by you along the way! Don’t loose your enthusiasm
• Don’t get distracted and be focused all the way
• It’s about first finishing, second breaking your records and finally be the first place
• After the race take some time to recuperate and relax
• Already thinking of the next race?
