2. Dream Bigger

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” –Les Brown

Many people want to start their own business. But they impose multiple restrictions upon them due to which they block their path of success. When you dream big and shoot for the moon, you force yourself to step out of your comfort zone to yield bigger results.

3. Believe in Yourself!

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your inner voice.” – Steve Jobs

Many people are dependents on the opinion of other people. They want to please everyone, and that is the major reason why they fail in their lives. If you let the opinion of others affect you, you will never become successful and achieve your goals. You can watch his inspirational journey here: 

4. Goal Gives Meaning to Your Journey

“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.” –Bill Copeland

Some people do not set goals and spend their entire lives fulfilling others. Hence, it is very essential to give direction to your life by setting an objective and then fulfilling those goals.

5. Stay Focused!

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” –Henry Ford

It is very common for entrepreneurs to lose their focus once they begin their small startup business. An entrepreneur has to don multiple hats due to which the objective of the business takes the back seat. Hence, it is very important to stay focused on your goal and keep walking towards it.

The simplest way to use it is to start a business where plastic can be used to create reusable products. You can collect plastic bags, gift wrappers, bags of flours, and pulses from local garbage collectors. Many products can be made by weaving the plastic strips together.

Nandan Bhat, founder of Pune-based start-up Ecokaari has started one such venture. He has employed artisans under his brand, who cut the plastic into thin strips and weave them into a fabric which is then made into a wide range of products like pouches, handbags, purses, travel bags to electronic covers that are purchased by people according to their requirement.

Top 3 Common SEO Mistakes Most Entrepreneurs Make & How to Avoid Them!

Top 3 Common SEO Mistakes Most Entrepreneurs Make & How to Avoid Them!
Top 3 Common SEO Mistakes Most Entrepreneurs Make & How to Avoid Them!

As a small business owner reaching customers to boost sales is the major goal. Many entrepreneurs often forget about building an online presence via SEO activities. Most often than not, MSME business owners do not take SEO activities seriously and consider them as a liability. But optimizing your website and content according to the guidelines of the search engines can fetch high traffic to your business.

One of the major reasons behind it is that they have seen many organizations struggling with search engine optimization activities. However, what they don`t realize is that many small startup businesses jump over few SEO guidelines that are crucial to yield great results.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) serves as a critical tool that ensures that your business gains an edge and remains competitive while capturing the right audience.

Here is the list of three common SEO mistakes that small to medium-sized businesses often make—and how you can avoid repeating them.

1. Expecting Results Overnight

SEO requires patience and persistence. And this is something that entrepreneurs must understand because success does not happen overnight. Many small business startup owners hesitate from applying a solid SEO strategy because of the time duration that it takes to see results.

When a new web page is published, Google uses 200-plus ranking factors to measure the quality of your content. Hence, it takes time to validate the relevance of the new content. The content you create helps to build your website reputation and pull up customers organically. The entire process takes around a month before you start seeing results. To come on top of the result page, the average age is almost three years.

Monitor SEO campaign for weeks, use SEO tools like Google Analytics to understand the performance of your webpage and the source of traffic.

2. Customized Research on Keywords

SEO is powerful only when Keywords are powerful. Hence, it is very important to find relevant keywords that meet your customer`s needs.  Keyword-rich content will help yield the highest results. And many new potential customers find new businesses through Google search that includes keywords matching with their requirements.

So try to put yourself in the minds of your customers and apply the keywords that define your ideas and topics.

3. Ignoring Backlinks in your Content

Backlinks are the second most important factor that plays a vital role in Google ranking. When creating a web link, backlinks are non-negotiable! The inclusion of external links into your content boosts your website`s search engine ranking and popularity organically.

Many business owners often skip this fundamental step of an SEO strategy because of the in-depth research and time it takes.

However, it is essential to include quality links that are from credible sources. The guidelines from Google penalize unnatural links and also prohibit links that are not that valuable and useful for the users.

Understanding the factors that can affect your SEO results can be time-consuming and challenging. But once you prepare it with the right approach, it will drive your customer acquisition and yield great results.

To understand how you can boost your business growth and revenue, you can take Business Coaching Program. It not only offers a bundle of exclusive foundation courses and value packs, but also handholding support of a personalized business coach.

5 Marketing Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make That Can Damage Business

5 Marketing Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make that can Damage Business
5 Marketing Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make that can Damage Business

Entrepreneurship is not easy, especially when it comes to making a marketing strategy for your startup business. Entrepreneurs learn new things by analyzing the market trend and what works for their brand. Despite, all the analysis and statistics, they tend to make mistakes.

Many mistakes most of the time that looks massive, end up being temporary setbacks. However, some mistakes may prove fatal for a startup business plan. These mistakes arise only when entrepreneurs exhibit a fundamental misunderstanding of best marketing practices. So if you are an entrepreneur and looking to avoid marketing mistakes that you must avoid, here is a list:

1. IGNORING THE BRAND

Your brand serves as the foundation of your business identity. It acts as a connecting link between your small startup business and your customers. Hence, if you try to market your business without a brand, you might have to taste the dust.

When people see your logo, your tagline, or pick up on your brand`s tone, they will form an opinion about your brand. This is the connection that is necessary for a business to thrive. Without it, your business is just floating in free space without any recognition and association.

So never market your business without brand building. The more connections you build the more familiar your customers will become with your brand.

2. MARKETING TO EVERYONE

One of the biggest mistakes that entrepreneurs can make is not being aware of their target customers. For instance, not everyone loves Apple IPhones and there could be multiple reasons like budget, operating system, interface, or restrictions.

Hence, it is very important to choose your market niche carefully and not market your product to everybody. Many entrepreneurs think that “everybody” is the largest possible audience, and so it offers the largest possible return. But the truth is far from this notion. A generic brand message has the least recall value.

So to stand out, you have to be unique when it comes to marketing, just like your startup business idea. Create specifically crafted messages for one segment of your customers at a time.

3. PRESUMPTIONS ABOUT AN AUDIENCE

Making presumptions can be disastrous when it comes to potential customers. There are some marketers who very well understand that every customer is unique and hence, they should craft messages by keeping a specific audience in mind. Still, they don`t do it effectively!

Instead of relying on data and statistics, they rather make broad assumptions about their target audience. This can be detrimental for any business, especially for a startup business that is struggling to enter the market. Every entrepreneur needs to ask this question to themselves. If they are making their market decisions because of the way you think things work, or because of the way things work in practical work?

4. INVESTING LITTLE OR TOO MUCH

Successful investment in marketing is similar to putting salt in a dish- both demand a careful balance! Investing too much money at the beginning of the startup can be a waste of money because you might not know your target audience very well. You don`t know which platforms are more suitable for your business and what works best for your brand.

On the other hand, if you are investing too little, it will not yield desired results and you might not be able to acquire new customers.

5. FAILING TO EXPERIMENT

Innovate or Die- this phrase defines marketing in the best possible way. If you are not experimenting, you can`t improve. And marketing is not a point-and-shoot game. It is a game of setting and resetting expectations, getting closer, but never reaching set parameters.

Watch how NOKIA lost its grip on the market and failed as a mobile giant in this video:

Hence, the only way to craft a perfect marketing strategy for your startup business is to try new things and being bold with your strategies, and see which ones work and which ones fail.

The above marketing strategies should be avoided when trying to establish a brand presence for a startup business. These mistakes are not only damaging for new entrepreneurs, but they are also some of the most common. The good news is that if you catch these mistakes early, you can up your marketing game.

5 Ways To Give Your Online Startup Business A Jump-Start!

The internet has grown into one of the largest marketplaces. With the pandemic hitting the economy, more and more companies are now operating online. Many small startup businesses with unique ideas are cropping up with their unique strategies.

However, it requires patience, commitment, and perseverance to keep the entrepreneurs going- but passion makes all the difference. If you have a solid idea for an online business startup there are important lessons that you might want to learn.

A lot of mistakes are bound to happen initially. While some of them can easily pass over, some may prove way too expensive. So here is a list of important lessons that will help you to kick-start your own online business:

1. Build a Website that is Faster & Better

Your website is the face of your business that people see when they visit. It is the gateway through which your potential customers will recognize you. If you are losing customers, a poorly designed website can be one of the biggest reasons behind it. If it is not optimized for mobile devices, you may lose a lot of traffic.

A slow-loading website can frustrate visitors, which is why building a website that can load faster is always a wise decision. Give users an easy browsing experience as it makes a user`s journey quicker. Users can also look at your products and purchase them in an uncluttered way.

2. Make your SEO Game Better

Search Engine Optimization is used to get your website ranked on Google. Search engines like Google look for keywords that people usually type when they are looking for a particular product. Entrepreneurs should use more of those keywords in their content such as blogs, articles, and product descriptions. The more those keywords will be used, the easier it will be for the users to discover you and your business.

Keep uploading fresh images of your content and optimize your layout with specific keywords as it can make a huge difference in the number of visitors. However, the results of any SEO activity will take time.

3. Use an Old Domain Name

Old domain names generate a sense of trustworthiness for search engines. They get an edge and that makes them hard to compete. The major reason behind it is that they have existed for a much longer time as compared to any other domain name.

They also come up higher on the first pages of Google searches that give your startup business online an edge over your competition. They may cost you a little more, but they can be a great investment for the future.

4. Have a Dominant Social-media presence

In today`s digital world, social media plays a significant role in every online startup business. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest have proved to be a set of invaluable tools for all businesses.

If you can use social media effectively, your followers will increase, and you might get tons of new visitors weekly. Make engaging content and add a dash of humor into it regarding your products and services that works well for your brand, and you can grow a community around your business in no time at all.

5. Use Advertising Methods Wisely

There was a time when the traditional methods for marketing your products included TV commercials and radio ads that required large budged. However, thanks to social media there are plenty of options available where you can market your business at a low cost. From Google AdWords to Facebook and Instagram ads, social media offers versatile choices to modern-day entrepreneurs to establish their brand presence.

Use them together with SEO activities and your business will achieve greater visibility. Whether you are using advertising platforms or building links, apply these tips and you will see unbelievable results.

International Literacy Day: 4 Ways A Girl`s Education Can Benefit India!

International Literacy Day
International Literacy Day

Literacy is the most essential prerequisite for individual empowerment. It plays a very important role in any person`s life, irrespective of gender. It not only enhances the quality of the life but also instills awareness and improves the skills of people.

What is literacy?

Literacy is the ability to read, write and comprehend information in a constructive way to communicate effectively. From reading the textbooks, scriptures to newspapers, and understanding road signs literacy is the only tool that helps you make sense of your surrounding and helps to broaden our mindset and perspectives.

The knowledge of social conventions combined with the problem-solving capacities of people is what determines them as being literate. However, it is a miserable fact that in India a girl`s education is still in an oppressive stage. Despite much evidence demonstrating the importance of education for everyone, gender disparities in education persist.

About 129 million girls are out of school. And in countries that witness conflicts, girls are more than twice as likely to be out of school as girls living in non-affected countries.

According to UNICEF.org, “only 49 percent of countries have achieved gender parity in primary education. At the secondary level, the gap widens: 42 percent of countries have achieved gender parity in lower secondary education, and 24 percent in upper secondary education.”

Many few people understand the grand impact that a women`s education has on society. Here are a few that we would like to mention:

1. Educated Nation

It is said that one literate man is just one literate man, but when one woman gets an education, she makes the entire family and an entire country educated. A young girl, who goes to school to receive education unmistakably guaranteeing education for her kids and thus benefits the country by contributing to the economy.

2. Reduction in Child Marriage

Though the prevalence of child marriage has decreased worldwide, one in four girls who were married a decade ago was a child bride. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 100 million girls were expected to marry before their eighteenth birthday in the next decade. As a result of the pandemic, up to 10 million girls will be at risk of becoming child brides. Child brides often get pregnant at a young age and put themselves and infants at various risks. It takes a heavy toll on their psychological, and physical well-being.

3. Promotes Development of Skills

An education that is equal to all empowers girls and boys equally. It helps to impart knowledge and information and promotes the development of life skills- like self-management, negotiation, communication, and critical thinking that plays a significant role in young people`s life to succeed.

It reduces the skill gaps that give birth to pay gaps, and gradually results in prosperity for entire countries. A gender-equitable educational system can reduce gender-based violence and harmful practices including child marriage and female genital mutilation.

4. Population Control

Educated couples are much more likely to do child planning by keeping their family income in mind. This will help them to lead more progressive lives, increasing the expectation of living for their families, children, and social networks.

Literacy constitutes the backbone of development in a progressing country like India. But there are crores of children that are out of school in India and hence, the Indian Education System needs to build a better life for children to make our nation a progressive country.

And while many people might think that social media is a great place to collect their happy memories so you can go and recall them later, it will not be the case.

With many entrepreneurs turning towards the professional help of a business coach, many small startup business owners who are struggling with their business problems are now realizing its importance.

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey. Though it might sound exciting at the early stage, one has to don multiple hats and take care of multiple operations. Sometimes, it also means working endlessly and still feels like you are stuck on a deserted island.

Though the internet is filled with articles, blogs, podcasts, and exclusive video tutorials on how to build and scale your small startup business, every business is unique and so are your challenges. In this case, those articles and blogs will not prove helpful. This is where taking a business coaching program becomes essential for entrepreneurs.

But a business coaching efficiency depends on two critical factors i.e. the client is willing to grow, and there is a gap between where they are now, and where they want to aspire to be.

As an entrepreneur, working with a business coach can benefit you in various ways. A business coach can help you to grow in the following ways:

1. Helps you Set Goals & Work Towards it

Humans are passionate about the work they love doing. But unfortunately, very few people are aware of the fact what they want to do with their business and their professional lives. A business coach can help you to distinguish between what you could have, should have, and have-to-have.

A great business coach can also help you to set your ideal goal for your business and help you to achieve them too.

2. Helps you to maintain a Healthy Work-life Balance

If you want to be successful, it starts with a balanced lifestyle. It simply means that you will have to prioritize your professional commitments as well as personal commitments, which also means that you will have to be selfish, yet responsible. You will have to get better at communication, get your needs met, and still have people like you. You need this strong if you truly want to be successful.

3. Manage your Finances Well

Many startups fail in the initial years because of a lack of funds. Hence, it is essential to handle your finances well. A business coach can help you scale your business by setting up a startup business plan and future. He can also help you to design a strategy for you to earn more from your business.

4. Take Better Decisions

An ideal business coach knows and very well understands the importance of brainstorming and sharing ideas. He will encourage you to think out-of-the-box and bring innovative ideas to the table. He will be your best critic and will always give you honest and constructive views.

5. Helps you become more Focused & Productive

A mind that is focused and concentrated is also more productive. With a focused mind, entrepreneurs can make better judgments, great strategies, and excellent business plans for the future of the startup business.

When you are happy and free from problems, you will feel more productive and efficient, thanks to your business coach.

A business coach is an expert entrepreneur who has gained experiences through personal and professional experiences. He knows how to start and grow successful businesses and is willing to mentor you. Instead of making random and impulsive decisions on your own, you can work along with a business coach to help you upscale your small startup business.
