The road of the entrepreneur is long and lonely. With the startup funding received, you need to prepare for a long journey. Investors would be looking for their returns at the earliest but you as a founder need to understand that nothing can be achieved in a short duration. Hurrying for returns will only endanger the whole plan without achieving anything.
Machiavelli warns you not to lose your focus and prepare for the bad times ahead. “It is a common defect in man not to make any provision in the calm against the tempest.”
Startup funding is a good opportunity for entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams. But the same should be treated as a good fortune and not rely on it. Rely on your abilities and hard work while preparing for the long run.
