The Entrepreneur with a Bond
“If you like being an entrepreneur so much, why did you take up a scholarship?”
That was the question many had, when they heard I am actually on a bond with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore. I will always answer them: “Because of the doors it will open”.
By being bonded, I exchanged a few years of my prime for an opportunity to learn the best practices of huge companies – allowing me to learn the ropes for further expansion of my company in future. It gives me instant credibility as a person who ‘knows my stuff’. The bond also pays for my education overseas and allowed me to reinvest more of my money back into the company. Most importantly, it gave me contacts with some of the brightest future leaders of tomorrow in the industry – Something that an entrepreneur should never be short of.
No one can be sure if I made the right decision to take the scholarship four years ago. Not even me. If I didn’t take the scholarship, I would not have studied in CMU, I would not have been exposed to world class research. I would not have met so many professors that shaped my thoughts and skills. I would not have co-founded another company in the United States.
Is the four years of bond worth all these things? I asked myself.
I don’t know.
If there was one thing I learnt as an entrepreneur. That would be, never be afraid to be different.
Taking on a scholarship is similar to that of starting a business. We don’t know for sure what awaits us at the end of the tunnel but we are forced to invest time and money in it. It could be the best decision I made or the worst. We never know.
But life is too short for “If only I had”. That’s why I took the plunge and did what I did.
Taking a scholarship does not stop me from being an entrepreneur. Nope, not at all. You do not need to be an entrepreneur to be an entrepreneur. You can be working for somebody and still be an entrepreneur. You can be an entrepreneur anywhere. An entrepreneur looks at problems in the eye, and says he can fix that. An entrepreneur is motivated and driven. An entrepreneur works in a team, sets achievable goals and eventually reaches them. Being an entrepreneur is really not about being one physically, it is the spirit of being one.
I don’t know if the scholarship was a good decision but I do know that the scholarship does not mark the end of my life as an entrepreneur. I will be an entrepreneur wherever I go.
