Entrepreneurship has been branded as the thing to do. We are always being shown companies who have either raised a lot of money or are somehow an 'overnight success'. However for every success, there are thousands of untold struggles. This is why we decided to create this show - to show you that running into challenges is part of the journey and that you're not alone. It's also why we called this Our Entrepreneurshit Show.

From banker to entrepreneur: why would someone do it? [OES S01E04]
Most people would consider working at JP Morgan a dream job. But that was not enough for Vikram, who decided to quit his banking job after working there for 7-8 years to start his own business. He is currently the founder of Draper Startup House, a successful entrepreneur hostel chain that has hostels from Vietnam to Houston. At age 40, he is a rarity among young entrepreneurs. There were many ups and downs in his entrepreneurship journey, yet he did not give up. What kept him going? He shares his thoughts and more in this episode of Our Entrepreneurshit Show by The Financial Coconut.
One of Vikram’s most memorable entrepreneurshit memories was being arrested in Waikiki Beach for selling football jerseys on the street without a permit when he was just 17. Fortunately, that sounded worse than it really was. Vikram then reflects on the difficult moments that led up to him quitting his job and the pressures he had to face. To him, breaking away from his banker identity was one of the most difficult things he had to do.
While Vikram sees entrepreneurship as having the ability to create your own job and pay, he also recognises that it comes with challenges. One of the greatest challenges he had to overcome was finding talented business partners who can get along. Listen to this episode to find out how he learnt it the hard way and which book eventually helped him overcome his self-doubt and become a successful entrepreneur.
