#176 – The Passion and Risk That Drive Entrepreneurs (Is This You?)

Leaving a comfortable, well-paying job for a risky startup sounds scary, even if that startup is your lifelong dream.  What's the tipping point that makes this a wise decision?  Join David as he talks with Projjal Ghatak, a superstar employee turned entrepreneur.  Projjal founded OnLoop in 2020 to create a category called Collaborative Team Development (CTD).  He hates the employee performance review process and wants to reinvent it.  Prior to founding OnLoop, Projjal spent three and a half years in strategy roles at Uber, ending up as their Head of Strategy, International Business Development.  Before that, he had years of strategy and consulting work, including four years at Accenture after he earned his MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business.  Do you hate something and have a passion to change it, or at least make it better?  Are you on that journey now, or contemplating whether to make the leap to becoming an entrepreneur?  Or would you like to spark more of an entrepreneurial spirit within your organization?  Join this podcast to hear the positives and negatives of Projjal's journey.  His insights may help you make a wiser decision about your entrepreneurial pursuits.  -------   This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.  I started developing Habitly content in 2004.  Habitly's powerful best practices have now been taught to thousands of people worldwide.  For instance, you can learn how to Create time in your day;  Get more from meetings;  Stay calm;  Achieve significant targets;  and Become a great leader.  Simply study and apply the expert knowledge provided in Habitly courses and micro-learning episodes.   Whether you're just out of college, or someone with over 20 years work experience, learn the habits of highly successful people on Habitly.    Test drive Habitly for 7 days on us!  This includes full access to the entire Habitly knowledgebase – www.habitly.com.
