How Badly I Wanted to Be an Entrepreneur · Confessions of an Entrepreneur

This book is not a user’s guide on how to become an entrepreneur. This book describes the raw excitement and sheer terror in the journey of entrepreneurship.

This book tells the story of the brilliant and intelligent Abhi whose main problem is his indecisiveness.

Before taking his final jump, Abhi narrates the story of his life. Sounds clichéd,

right?

But Abhi's life is far from clichéd.

In his ‘life flashing before eyes’ moment, the first thing Abhi remembers is his breakup with Jia, on his 21st birthday. He also remembers how his lies led to that breakup.

In order to climb the higher ladder of success in society, Abhi attempted everything; from deceiving million-dollar corporations to lying to his closed ones. He misused the friendship with his buddies to get results. In the process, he also tried to justify his dishonesty. Once warm-hearted and passionate Abhi turned cold, manipulative and addicted. But as his obsession with success grew, the number of his lies also increased exponentially.

To win Jia back, Abhi shifted his best idea of startup to build another venture in which he didn’t believe at first. But while working on his new venture rigorously, he saw its true purpose and became passionate about it. Still, there was one more hurdle for him on the road – his parents’ overprotection. Getting a chance to attend a reputed B-school also made things complicated for Abhi. His parents wanted him to join but Abhi already had the experience of studying something he didn’t want to, in the first place. Realizing that it was futile to argue with the people who loved him in their own ways, he told them the greatest lie of his life……

This is the first part of the three books depicting the hopes and ambitions of a wannabe entrepreneur. Sadly enough, it also illustrates the crumbling of all his dreams…
