1. Super Heroes take charge, so do entrepreneurs.

If you notice the movies of all the super heroes they have shown time and again how super heroes take charge of situations and win no matter what comes across. Super heroes are super heroes because they believe they can do it. They believe that no situation can come in the way of their good intentions. Entrepreneurs in real life face every possible hurdle. Just think of it. There are times when the whole family turns him down, there are times when the whole world thinks that his product is crap, there are times when his friends don’t have faith in him…. financial crisis, social dump, relationship crisis.. come what may he stands. He stands by his dream because he believes it will work and will do whatever it takes!

2. Superheroes have powers. Entrepreneurs have dreams.

A superhero is gifted with power. A power that surpasses other normal beings. Each entrepreneur has a dream. A dream that’s so inspiring, that keeps him awake at odd hours. The drive is to see that dream turn into reality. He might have no finances, no resources, no skills, no support structure but he continues to thread the path. He has the power to move ahead no matter what comes by. And we always thought only super heroes have power?

3. Superheroes let go things for a bigger cause. Entrepreneurs do that and call it part of journey..

Heroes make sacrifices at times, let go off their ego, let go off their love, let go a lot many things just to ensure the bigger vision is fulfilled. Entrepreneurs too have to sacrifice so many things. They are like super humans… they have missed n number of outings with friends, those priceless moments they could have spent with the loved ones, that well paid job, that extra respect in society, those movies they missed, those small little things that they saved money on, those cellar offices, those shared connections, those endless list of wish lists that didn’t see the light of the day.. an entrepreneur lets them all go by to make sure his dream comes alive.. I seriously admire these tons of great people I have met for they never complain about it.. they have a smile which says ‘I let it go, so what.. See what I’m doing now!’

4. Superheroes Sequel. Entrepreneurs keep making a difference!

All our super hit superhero stories have a sequel, prequel and what not.. Our entrepreneurs have so much more than that. We always just see their super hit movie. Look at how many times they failed before making it to the top. Entrepreneurs by virtue don’t give up even after reaching heights. If the idea fails, they try again. Else they take up a new approach altogether. If it takes off, then he wants to have it take off once more. Even after all this, he will not sit back… he wants a new problem to solve; he wants to make a bigger difference. His journey continues..ups and downs filled with contagious enthusiasm and zeal that spreads like a fire, continuing to make a difference to the live he touches.

This post is to just give each entrepreneur out there a pat on their back for their efforts, a small way to acknowledge the great inspiration that they are. For they have taken a path less trodden and gone beyond means of being just comfortable. You folks are live examples of super-heroes. Some get to showcase a movie some remain as reels, some make it to the comics & books and some continue to script the pages… Nevertheless each of you have a great dream, a power that can cut through the greatest force.

Keep it lighted. It’s your DREAM. Come what may we are sure you are going to make it!

Heroes believe ‘With great power comes great responsibility!’ & as entrepreneurs we believe ‘With great dreams come greater visions!’
