Entrepreneurship LIE: Why Savings Matter More Than Passion


Listen Later

In this episode of The Daily Windup, I sat down with an entrepreneur who grew up in a family of business owners in India and carried that entrepreneurial spirit across to the U.S. We talked about the mindset and habits he picked up early—like learning how to do more with fewer resources, streamline processes, and build systems that allow a business to thrive. His philosophy? Always look for ways to cut steps, automate, and think creatively so you can scale without burning through cash. That lean mindset is what helped him grow his company and stay competitive in a demanding space.

We also dug into one of the biggest traps new entrepreneurs fall into: quitting their jobs too early. His advice is clear—gain 4–5 years of real-world experience, build savings to create a cushion, and start your business as a side hustle until you've secured enough clients to go full-time. By transitioning slowly, your chances of survival skyrocket compared to those who dive in headfirst with no safety net. For anyone considering entrepreneurship, this conversation is packed with hard-earned lessons on preparation, reflection, and long-term success.
