Intro. Hustle. Empathy. Entrepreneurship.
Musings from my entrepreneurial journey…A thread
Here are 10 emails between 2012 and 2016 which made all the difference to @Explara: Stay in the journey -> Bring Back To Life -> Operating Profit.
Introductions are key in "Entrepreneurship".
Before you even meet your prospective investors in person, they need to sense your journey (& commitment) via your "emails".
And, empathy on both sides is a must (entrepreneur <-> investor).

I have interacted with many angels (20 to 30s) in my decades of entrepreneurship. But my fav is @RajanAnandan. Here is why. A thread
Highly-Networked
When I was searching for fundraising, I got connected to Rajan in 2012 via 2 sources. 1. A Sri Lankan friend from London spoke about me to Rajan in an event in Sri Lanka 2. @cnha shared about me & invite to entrepreneur get-together in BLR, I met Rajan.

*Die empty*
The most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry.
The author was inspired and got this idea of writing this book while attending a business meeting.
When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?"
One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."
Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa."

In 2017, just saying 'No' to every thing that doesn't add value in my endeavour/entrepreneurship and/or doesn't make sense. 1/n1. Told 'NO' to some 9+ events to join as speaker. They should pick better entrepreneurs out there.
