In a world chasing quick success, Entrepreneur Anupam Mittal, Shaadi.com founder and judge of a popular reality show Shark Tank India explains, what it really takes to be an entrepreneur—two strong skills that can define your journey beyond ideas and funding.
“If you can’t sell, it’s going to be a long and lonely ride.” Selling is about persuading others to believe in a vision that doesn’t yet exist. Mittal stated as reported by Money Control.
The second skill is building. You must keep working on your idea even when no one else understands it. Real building is quiet, focused and long-term.
Mittal says, the building phase is lonely. You’ll feel misunderstood, but you need to stay obsessed with your solution and not stop showing up daily.
Becoming an entrepreneur isn’t about copying others or joining what’s hot. Solve a real problem. Trend-chasing won’t build something that lasts.
Great entrepreneurs show up every day, improve constantly, and keep solving problems. It takes years of effort—not viral moments—to build something lasting.
Mittal calls selling and building the two superpowers. Together, they help you create belief and back it with execution. That’s the formula.
