  • To Build a Million Dollar Startup Spend 30 Minutes of Learning a Day

An innovative product idea and your take on the product may not be enough to become a unicorn-like Uber or Zomato. Stories of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates can’t help you to come out from the challenging situations. When things do not work how you thought don’t give up the goal, change your game plan, think about pivoting, and learn new strategies.

Throughout your entrepreneur journey, it is essential to know how to do things correctly; hence founder should learn to implement tools, models, and processes. According to Jeffrey Bussgang, the author of Mastering the VC Game, “Successful entrepreneur is built, in fact, has to be built, in ways that are fundamentally different from other businesspeople.”
