Have you ever zoomed down a steep mountain road on your bicycle, with both your feet in the air ? It’s thrilling and terrifying at the same time. You react to circumstances as quickly as you can, but still wonder if your last decision will throw you off the mountain, or cause you to run headlong into some obstacle or, better still, will allow you to gain even more speed and momentum ! It can be a truly exhilarating, hair-raising ride. But like a roller coaster, every peak is followed by a valley. These peaks and valleys represent the joys and frustrations of entrepreneurship. And, if you have had that cycle ride, like most Parsis have had, you are already an Entrepreneur !
