5 Ways Sports Can Shape Entrepreneurs Into A World Class Leader!

5 Ways Sports Can Shape Entrepreneurs Into A World Class Leader
5 Ways Sports Can Shape Entrepreneurs Into A World Class Leader

National Sports Day is a day that is dedicated to the sports and sportspersons in India. To commemorate the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, this day is celebrated on 29 August.

Stressing the need to stay healthy and fit, this day is observed to spread awareness regarding the sports and daily activities in every individual`s personal and professional life.

While many of us see the physical side of sports, very few people know that playing sports can help entrepreneurs to become great professional leaders. Business and sports have many similarities. Both require patience, teamwork, goals, strategies, and most importantly the best version of you to make them a success.

Playing or competing in sports can teach people essential lessons that can be important for business. The skills that can provide an edge in a competitive sport can also enhance your entrepreneurial skills.

How to remain focus, determined along with heightened awareness during the challenging times helps entrepreneurs to become better leaders. It creates expansive entrepreneurs.

Many successful entrepreneurs like Dr. Vivek Bindra, who is an internationally acclaimed business motivational coach loves to play football. He admits that sports can bring many benefits to entrepreneurs` lives.

Here is a list of the best five that can help you to sharpen your entrepreneurial skills:

1. Keeps Your Creative Juices Flowing

An entrepreneur has to work on multiple projects at the same time. Every challenge is unique and requires a creative approach. Sports not only help you to tone your muscles but also increase the cognitive function of your brain. This happens due to the increased blood flow to the brain.

So if you are looking for a creative solution to a major business challenge for a couple of days, all you need is a good game of football.

2. Keep you in Better Health

Running a business has to do a lot more with poor health than optimal well-being. Stress, high blood pressure, anger issues, anxiety, and insomnia from too many tasks at hand can result in chronic health issues. Entrepreneurs or business owners who are not indulged in any kind of sports may experience the ill effects of stress and anxiety.

However, business owners with a competitive sport push themselves in many distinct ways to become a better version of themselves. The endorphins released during the training and competing help them to carry over their day-to-day tasks with much ease. They perform better and appear much happier in general.

3. Help you to Broaden Perspective

Turning up to the same workplace, doing the same work with the same people around can become monotonous. It does not help to expand either your mind or life. Perhaps a new project might come up and you might handle it successfully, but over time it will lead to boredom.

Sports help individuals to become more approachable, knowledgeable, and worldly in wider fields. When someone has interests in sports or any other extra-curricular activity other than doing their job, it says a lot about their character and what they are capable of.

4. Teach you about Resilience & Discipline

Competitive sports helps to develop resilience and resourcefulness, and many other traits that help to expand a business and a career. It introduces entrepreneurs to people with new ideas, innovative approaches to traditional problems, backgrounds, and ways of looking at the world.

5. Teach You About Team Work

One of the most significant ways in which sports can prepare entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, or wantrepreneurs with small startup business ideas is by teaching them the importance of collaborative work.

Even if you play a sport that does not require a team to win an individual tournament it requires a joint effort from the athletes, the coaches, staff, and other training partners.

It teaches a great lesson that no organization big or small can thrive without a group of people who know how to work together.

The most amazing part about playing sports is that it helps entrepreneurs or any individual to become a better version of themselves organically.

This National Sports day, why not try something new that not only improves your physical well-being but will also train you to become a successful entrepreneur. For the rest of your business problems, learn about our new Business Coaching Program that gives you practical solutions with hand-holding support from our experts.

Top 6 Strategies To Craft Catchy Headlines By Dr. Vivek Bindra

Top 6 Strategies To Craft Catchy Headlines By Dr. Vivek Bindra
Top 6 Strategies To Craft Catchy Headlines By Dr. Vivek Bindra

The headline is a significant aspect of your advertisement, sales letter, space ad, or email marketing. You can have the best product or the best service, but it does not matter if the reader doesn’t get past the headline.

Have you ever come across a headline and couldn’t figure out which product was being sold? Or spotted a tagline in an email that was longer than the subject line? Or has it ever happened with you that a random tagline caught your attention and you ended up loving it so much that you shared it amongst your peers?

Taglines or headlines are often overcomplicated and underwhelming. And, changing the headline can make a huge difference in your customer`s response rate.

According to Copy blogger, “On average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest.”

Catchy headlines hold the power to grasp your attention and determine the effectiveness of the entire piece. If you can come up with a good headline, you can make an award-winning advertisement.

You can discover some awesome strategies in this award-winning video by Dr. Vivek Bindra.

Here are 5 Tips to ensure that your audience turns into your customers:

1. Name-Dropping Authority

No matter how deeply you have researched before writing a headline, your customers will not trust you. To showcase authority, it is always advised to use names of famous personalities, and associations that are a proven authority in a particular field.

For instance, if you have the business of selling medical supplies, and writing an article related to it, you can use reports published by credible sources like Indian Medical Association, World Health Organization.

If you will create authority via your headlines, you will gain more visitors.

2. Lead with a Key Benefit or Intriguing Question

Always put your biggest benefit in the headline. This does not mean that you should put your entire sales pitch, but only the biggest benefit for your readers. Your headline should be so compelling that the readers have to stop and feel that there is something of value to them.

Give them hope, a promise, achievement, and confidence. For instance taglines of brands like L`Oreal- ‘You Are Worth It’ creates an experience of achievement in the customers. This instills confidence in their target audience and they keep coming back for that special sense of achievement.

3. Make Your Message Exclusive for a Community

If you have subscribed to Dr. Vivek Bindra`s YouTube channel, you might have noticed that many videos are based on a particular community. When you write a headline inclusive for only a special group of people, readers see that they fit into the group, and think that this particular ad, blog, or article is for them.

Here are some examples:

  • A video-based on small business owners from Madhya Pradesh
  • This video showcases the brilliant business skills of Marwari People
  • Explaining the concept of MLM marketing
  • YouTube v/s TikTok

4. Create Headlines With Extreme Unusual Emotion

The major reason behind any successful advertisement is its ability to strike the right emotional chord of the customer. If a customer can feel the “me too” emotion instantly while watching the ad or as soon as he reads the headline of an article, rest assured that he will watch the entire advertisement. It will also attract visitors to your website resulting in increased conversion rates.

5. A headline that Rhymes, Definitely Shines

Many brands have compelling headlines. Customers remember headlines far longer than the product itself. But it helps to create a recall value of the brand.

6. Include Adjectives & Numerical

According to KISSmetrics, “readers tend to absorb the first three words of a headline and the last three words.” But how often do we write six-word headlines? Hence, to make it more enticing, always include an adjective and a number in the title.

  • E.g. Top 10 Influential People who Failed Miserably
  • 5 Worst Mistakes Entrepreneurs Should Avoid
  • 7 Billion Dollar Sales Strategies for Startup Business

If you are dying to create an award-winning advertisement or want to create a blog post that attracts visitors in huge numbers, then you can use the six ultimate strategies mentioned above. For more strategies, you can watch this excellent YouTube video by Dr. Vivek Bindra.

5 Ways For Entrepreneurs To Leave An Unforgettable Impression!

5 Ways For Entrepreneurs To Leave An Unforgettable Impression!
5 Ways For Entrepreneurs To Leave An Unforgettable Impression!

“Out of sight is out of mind”, this holds especially in the business world. Being memorable is crucial for every entrepreneur. It is essential for every brand. If a customer does not remember your brand, he or she will purchase from your competitor. On the other hand, if investors will not remember you, they will not fund your project and you will have a hard time finding an investor for your startup, no matter how brilliant a startup business idea you have.

Most entrepreneurs often find it challenging to create a brand recall value for their products or services. Making your customers recall your brand at the time of making a purchase decision can take your business revenue- sky high!

So many entrepreneurs who attend seminars and webinars of the business motivational speaker, Dr. Vivek Bindra often ask them how to make them memorable enough. They often share their experiences in which they remember meeting a certain investor, but they have no idea that they connected before.

“Brand recall value is critical to any business”, says Dr. Vivek Bindra. “And to make your customers memorize your brand name does not need much. It is a very simple mechanism that is implemented by many popular brands that take their marketing strategy to an all-new level.”

So what are some of the simple, yet powerful strategies to ensure you are making a strong and lasting impression? Let`s get started:

1. Identify a Common Factor

What is the first thing that can get someone to like you instantly? According to eminent psychologist Robert Cialdini, “the fastest way to get someone to like you is to find a commonality you share with them.”

Customers will trust you and relate to you only if they share a special bond with you. So whether it is the common hometown, or the same school, similar color, or favorite business motivational speaker in India, if you share similar interests with them, they will like you, trust you, and will remember you.

2. Pique their Interest

Most often when someone asks, “What do you do”, we kill the conversations in the first 10 seconds. Instead of replying with the usual boring answer, find a creative way to explain your profession that will pique their curiosity. Whether you are an entrepreneur with a startup business idea, looking for an investor or small business owner who wants to build a strong network, make your customers or clients want to know more.

Instead of introducing yourself as, “I own a business”, say instead “I help companies become more famous” or “I am launching a business that will enable you to connect with potential customers.”

3. Develop a Signature Style

Until and unless you don`t emanate a style that is unique to you, it is tough for other people to remember you, especially if they are meeting hundreds of other people at the same time. Along with your excellent communication skills and presentation style, sometimes your wardrobe can help you stand out too. If you have a certain accessory or style, you may consciously make it a part of your style and personality. For instance, Steve Jobs` black turtlenecks helped him to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

4. Ask Right Questions, Plenty of them

People love to talk about themselves, and they are likely to remember someone who shows genuine interest in them, who is more thoughtful, and asks the right questions. Someone who asks interesting questions makes them feel more appreciated and important rather than someone who simply rattles about their accomplishments.

5. Stay Connected & Follow up

Being an entrepreneur is a tough job! If despite socializing well with others, if they don’t remember your chances are that you might be not giving them enough opportunities. It is hard to remember anyone whom you have met just once. Hence, if you want to stay connected with a potential client, customer, or investor, make a point of finding a way to continue the conversation.

Perhaps, you can contact them to discuss your startup business idea or simply send them an article related to that. Get their contact information, follow them on LinkedIn and congratulate them if they have achieved something, recently.

Making a strong impression is critical to any startup business. So follow the above tips and let us know if they worked like a charm for you on your next meeting. To know more about how to pitch correctly to your investors, you can take our “Entrepreneurship Course”.

7 Simple Yet Effective Ways To Stay Motivated As An Entrepreneur
7 Simple Yet Effective Ways To Stay Motivated As An Entrepreneur

If you have just started your own startup business to fulfill your entrepreneurial dream, you must have realized that it is quite difficult to manage it all, alone. On the other hand, if you have been in this boat for quite some time now, you probably have encountered quite a road bumps that have set you back.

Working on a startup business idea feels exhilarating in the beginning, but managing multiple entrepreneurial tasks can put you off balance. Also, if the results are not as per the expectations, the passion soon begins to fade away.

Either way, as an entrepreneur, it`s easy to lose motivation. The key is to not give up and to figure out ways to uplift your spirits and morale on those dark and more grueling days. Though there are some of the best motivational speakers in India who can help you to stay on track, there are other ways too!

To help you, we have mentioned 7 ways in which you can stay motivated as an entrepreneur:

1. Set Personal Goals

You must have created your startup business with a specific goal in mind, objectives that you would like to achieve, and some core values you adhere to for lifelong. However, the major issue that is common with many entrepreneurs is that they often tend to forget to create their own personal goals.

Hence, it is crucial that you prioritize your personal goals and write them down as a reminder for becoming an entrepreneur in the first place. 

2. Get Inspired through Entrepreneurial Stories

There are thousands, if not millions of stories of entrepreneurial success in the real world. It is really encouraging to see people achieving dreams that are similar to ours. Read those stories and use them as an inspiration. Most importantly, learn from them. If you have a specific challenge you need to overcome, look at ways others have done it in the past. You can also take the professional help of a business motivational speaker like Dr. Vivek Bindra to find creative solutions for your burning business problems. 

3. Join the “Entrepreneurs Book Club”

Bill Gates read around 60 books a year, which means he finishes 5 books a month. Reading a book not only improves focus and concentration but also enhances knowledge. People who read regularly are better problem-solvers.

Find out a book club where entrepreneurs from various industries and sectors regroup to tell their peers about motivational and inspirational books they have read.

4. Follow Healthy Routine

We can`t avoid stress. But yes we can find better ways to cope up with it. People are often more concerned about their physical health and ignore their mental health. Physical wellness can definitely have a positive impact on your mental health, so it is very important that you maintain a healthy diet, regular workout schedule, and time to relax.

5. Join the Morning Club

To have a productive day, the beginning should be proper. It is very important to have your day planned in order to achieve all the tasks at the end of the day. Once you have woken up, showered, and taken breakfast, sit down and write tasks for the day.

Prioritize your important business-related tasks that require more attention and focus in the first half. The second half can also include your personal goals like meeting your friends for dinner. This list will help you stay focused and organized.

6. Indulge in Motivational Activities

Taking breaks and engaging in other activities is as important as focusing on your work. Watch inspirational movies, read motivational books or listen to podcasts, play your favorite sports, or dance to the tune of your favorite music in your free time to keep your spirits high and souring! 

7. Get Proper Sleep

Many entrepreneurs believe that attending few business-related conferences and completing tasks is worth missing out on a good night’s sleep. But the truth is that lack of sleep can lead to many chronic illnesses like Alzheimer’s and hypertension. Lack of sleep can also lead to poor focus and motivation. Hence, it is crucial to get proper sleep in order to stay motivated and pursue your entrepreneurial tasks.

The key to keep yourself motivated as an entrepreneur is to always remember why you started in the first place. By staying positive and using some techniques that we have mentioned above will help you to reach your goals.

You can learn how to give your customer an unforgettable experience from the top industry leaders through our online business course i.e “Entrepreneurship Course”.

3 Morning Mistakes That Can Cost Entrepreneurs Their Productivity!

3 Morning Mistakes That Can Cost Entrepreneurs Their Productivity!
3 Morning Mistakes That Can Cost Entrepreneurs Their Productivity!

HABIT– This five-character word has immense power, especially for entrepreneurs. A good habit can transform your life magically, doing unbelievable wonders. On the other hand, a bad habit can ruin not just your mood, temperament, and daily life, but also your plans.

Many entrepreneurs are often curious to know about the daily habits of successful people, and how they can inculcate them in their own lives. However, there is one thing that every entrepreneur who is working on a small business startup plan must remember that developing a set of habits doesn’t have to be complex.

Take Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, for instance. He has two key habits that he follows religiously, every morning—gratitude and exercise. Every morning he gets up and pays his gratitude for all the things in his life that he is thankful for. An act of expressing gratitude has been shown to improve mental and physical health. He then goes to the gym and no matter where he is, he commits to going to the gym for at least 30 minutes. People who are physically fit have shown improved cognitive function.

Dr. Vivek Bindra who is one of the best motivational speakers in India often says in his motivational videos on YouTube, “Your mindset often determines how you approach the challenges that come into your life and the people around you. If you have a positive mindset, it will play a significant role to determine your success in leadership.”

But many of us get up in the morning only to surrender to our laziness and not-so-healthy morning mistakes. The cost of making mistakes can be quite high. The time that we waste by remaining caught up in the activities that are unproductive can be used to develop groundbreaking startup business ideas for your business.

Here is a list of mistakes that can cost you productivity and peace every morning:

Mistake 1- Jumping out of bed as soon as the Alarm goes

Certainly, many of you must be thinking how leaving your bed as soon as the alarm goes off could be a bad habit? Surely, forcing yourself to jump out of bed the moment your alarm goes off helps you to start your day early. But very few people know that this simple-looking action can disconnect you you’re your body.

What should you do Instead- Take just a few minutes to stretch and elongate your body, as stretching can help you feel more confident. As simple as stretching your arms into a V shape can boosts incredible happiness, your mood and increases your blood flow to all areas of your life.

Mistake 2: Checking Phone Immediately

Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. According to a survey conducted by Mobile Consumers, “1 out of every 4 young adults checks their phones within one minute of waking up.” It is tempting to check phones every morning when there is so much information on this small device. But according to the health experts, it is a major mistake.

What should you do instead- Always remember that there is nothing on your phone that can`t wait. Your body and mind are not ready for the type of stimulation that your phone has. When you are waking up, it is important to focus on presence and gratitude, to connect your mind with your body through some morning movements. Write down your goals and startup business ideas if you are planning to start your own business.

Mistake 3- Sleeping in too late

A study reported that “people who get themselves out of the bed at the crack of the dawn responded that they felt “highly productive” 71% of the time as compared to those who snooze until 11 am.

What should you do instead- Now, we are not telling you which hours you should or should not sleeping, but going to bed in time will help you to complete your sleeping hours. You will wake up early and get a couple of hours to set up your morning routine. This will make you more productive and help you to plan your day in a better way. You can also take the help of a professional business motivational speaker to help you set up a healthy routine.

We all have the same 24 hours, and we all must cultivate healthy habits to give our mornings a kick-start. The list of all the above-mentioned alternatives is an invitation to experiment. Stretch out, keep that phone turned off, and try getting up earlier than you are used to and you will see productivity and peace rushing into your life.

To get back your professional and personal life back on track, you can hire the best motivational speaker in India.

For the rest of the challenges in your business, you can take our Problem Solving Courses that step-by-step learning strategy, action plan, frameworks that are designed to empower you with various business functions.

To learn more about personal branding, you can also pursue online business courses for entrepreneurs.

2. Be Authentic

The easiest way to have an original personal brand is to be authentic and genuine. Consumers today have that sense see right through a disingenuous act. Do not copy your competitors.

4. Be Consistent

Consistency is the key to build a successful personal brand. Entrepreneurs must understand that having a narrow focus gives them the ability to cultivate expertise. It becomes easier to get recognized for one topic if you consistently create content and brand voice around it.

Be it online or offline, you must ensure that your brand voice stays consistent in terms of gravitas, communication, and appearance. Do not underestimate how tiny inconsistencies can derail personal brand effectiveness.

5. Be ready for failure

Failure is hard! It’s human nature to generally want to avoid it. But, if you want your brand to rise above the rest, it is essential to encounter failure. Entrepreneurs must learn that the road to success goes through a halt of failures while pushing past their comfort zone. If you hire a business motivational coach he will make you realize that the best brands always come from repeated mistakes and failures. Instant perfection is limited to only instant noodles.

Walt Disney often spoke about his first failed attempts at creating an animation brand. He said, “I think it’s important to have a good hard failure when you’re young. I learned a lot out of that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. ”

The biggest mistake that any entrepreneur can make is to separate their brand from their personal life. The best strategy when you are trying to establish your brand is to have your actual lifestyle and brand being on the same page.

5 Key Factors Entrepreneurs Should Focus On For A Successful Startup

Success never comes easy! This is true. But there is no reason to make success hard when it is easy. However, it is shocking to see so many entrepreneurs continue to come in their way by focusing on the wrong things on their journey.

Most often than not many entrepreneurs focus on the things that they don`t know at first. It results in frustration and they eventually get stuck. It is very important to take tasks that you are good at first.

Focusing on the things that you can do will motivate you to keep going and to gain momentum. Focus on the easy parts, and then come on to the more difficult aspects of building your startup business. Even the best motivational speaker in India like Dr. Vivek Bindra agrees with the idea. He says, when an entrepreneur starts doing easy things first, he will build enough momentum that will help him or her to maintain the productive focus.

So, what exactly entrepreneurs must do to ensure that their business meets success at a very early stage? Here are 5 basic skills that will help young entrepreneurs to achieve success:

1. Focus on What Works the Most

Many entrepreneurs waste a lot of time focusing their time and efforts on expensive details. Though they believe that they will succeed, however, they lack the basic business skills and common business sense to back that belief.

Instead of focusing on creating their branding or marketing strategies, they often get occupied with perfecting the font on their logo. Business owners like these often make it hard for themselves, to find success and witness a boost in their profits, instead of making it easy by trusting the process.

Obsessing over perfection or the wrong details is not very productive. Entrepreneurs must learn to prioritize and how to manage their time.

2. Avoid “Squirrel Syndrome”

It is very common for an entrepreneur or a solopreneur to get entangled in various aspects of a business, and lose focus. When this happens, many people start looking for the next ‘IT’ thing to focus on, instead of trying to prioritize their subjects. This is called Squirrel Syndrome.

Jumping from one new idea to another makes you unfocused and restless for not accomplishing enough at the end of the day. Refocus by taking the time to work on one project or one direction in which you need to head towards. Work on it and turn off all distractions. Every time to take de-route, it takes much longer to reach success. You can also take online business courses for entrepreneurs to learn how to set goals and achieve them.

3. Focus on Result Oriented Activities

Whether you are a student-turned-entrepreneur or a business owner with an established brand, the focus is one of those basic but critical habits that are crucial to be successful. Start focusing more on day-to-day business activities that you are good at and they produce extraordinary results too. Spending time and energy doing the tasks you are good at helping you reap the biggest results.

4. Multitask Mindfully

Multitasking is a term that has got many advocates. But the truth to be told, doing many things at the same time can decrease your productivity. However, if you plan to do it strategically and mindfully, you can stop reacting to distractions. By remaining mindful, you can determine how you need to focus on a new situation and check-in with yourself. You can learn this crucial skill by hiring the motivational speaker or a mentor.

5. Build One Big Project at a Time

Entrepreneurs are highly creative people with amazing startup business ideas. It is difficult to turn off the desire to act on multiple ideas at once. But, starting multiple projects at once may have your mind and heart all over the place. Your attention will be split, and you will face troubles in achieving anything at all.

Thus, it is best to pick creative projects first as they will require your complete attention, focus, and creative juices as well. Make a list of all the tasks that you need to accomplish each day and stick to it. You will get a lot more done if you focus on the right thing at the right time. Giving your attention to the things that are not productive will not take you anywhere near to success.

You can learn how to stay focused and handle big projects in a startup business from our ‘Entrepreneurship Course’. You can get step-by-step business strategies and in-depth practical knowledge on how to get new business projects with ease.
