5 Ways To Convert Failure Into Success!

5 Ways To Convert Failure Into Success!
5 Ways To Convert Failure Into Success!

Ask any successful person about their journey, and you will know that they too had their share of failures. Failure is a part of life, and especially an inevitable aspect of a business. But failure is not permanent unless you give it the POWER it seeks.

A successful person is not someone who has never tasted failure. A successful person learns from his failure and turns it into success.

How much you learn from your failure determines how far you will go in creating success. And if we seek to grow both personally and professionally, we must pursue desired ends. We have to step out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves with the goals we set. However, turning your failure into success is the real process.

Here are 5 simple, yet surprisingly powerful ways to turn every failure into success:

1. Set Realistic Goals

First, sit down and visualize yourself. What exactly do you want to be? Do you want to be an Entrepreneur? Or, do you simply want to get a job in the field you love? Which career path or personal goals do you have?

Many aspiring people set too many goals even before they begin, and set their foot on the path of disappointment and failure. Don`t do that! It will only give you a series of setbacks.

The key to setting realistic goals is that you meet them, where you are currently in your personal and professional life.

You can either write them down in your journal or create a vision board. You can also take help from some of the best motivational speakers in India to seek guidance.

2. Prepare to fail & Learn from your Mistakes

To err is human, and to learn from those errors is becoming a ‘Super Human’. And, no we are not kidding at all! Every human being makes mistakes on an unknown journey. Identifying your mistakes and learning from them quickly is what determines your personal and professional growth.

Many successful people have experienced some kind of failure. Most of the great inventions like the X-Ray machine, Microwave Oven, Penicillin, and super yummy chocolate chip cookies happened entirely due to mistakes.

But not every mistake will be as sweet as choco-chip cookies. This is why understanding your mistakes and learning your lesson increases your growth potential.

3. Celebrate; not just your success, but also your Failures

We all know that smooth roads have never made good drivers. And failures are those pin-head turns that send chills down the spine of every driver. But fearing those turns will never help you to succeed. Why? Inaction puts everything at risk.

It is far better to perform a task imperfectly than to do nothing at all. When we do nothing and let the fear of failure overpower us, we do not make any progress- professionally as well as personally. And that is the shortest route to FAILURE.

Hence, keep taking calculated risks. If you fail, shrug off the clouds of dust, get over it, and try again! That will take you on the road to guaranteed success. Meet motivational speakers in India like Dr. Vivek Bindra to understand the mantra of success.

Dr. Vivek Bindra is an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker and business coach. He explains the nuances of business and life in an uncomplicated manner. You can watch him explain how you can convert failure into success,here.

4. List out the reasons you failed!

Just like the doctor can’t diagnose the disease without conducting a few tests, we too can’t learn from our mistakes, unless we know the reasons. Sometimes, the reasons could be so small that you might not even have noticed them.

But when we analyze our mistakes and the factors that contributed to them, we understand the reasons behind the failure in a clearer way.

Also, some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from the mistakes we have done in the past!

5. Talk to yourself nicely, because you are listening

According to Forbes, people who tend to fall short of their goals, turn on themselves. They straightway direct the frustration over their failure towards a self-destructive negative mindset.

It is one of the most common patterns that people follow. They engage in negative self-talk. However, it is the single most destructive pattern that results in berating themselves. Negative self-talk can be incredibly damaging, especially when you have encountered a bump of failure.

Do not let failure allow you to get indulged in self-pity. A failure might sting for a moment, but it too will pass. Staying positive during averse times is the real key to the door to success.

If you are in a season of failure and setbacks, you must know that you are not alone. Also, your current situation will not remain the same forever. Know that with the right mentorship from the motivational speaker, you can turn things around. Under the guidance of Dr. Vivek Bindra, you can achieve your goals and come out even stronger.

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals?

How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals
How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals

Goals are essential for professional as well as personal life. Without concrete plans, you are essentially shooting in the dark. You are putting in effort without having a goal and destination in mind. And with December looming just around the corner, the year 2022 is at its end. It is that time when business leaders must examine how productively they have spent their time to identify the situations where improvements can be made on both personal and professional fronts.

It is also the time to set new goals and define a blueprint for the forthcoming campaign of your life and implement a plan to accomplish a better version of yourself. S.M.A.R.T goals can help you to focus and re-evaluate goals as needed.

So what are S.M.A.R.T goals and how can you set them?

S.M.A.R.T = Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

These five aspects together create S.M.A.R.T goals.  A goal that has a specific purpose, can be measured, is realistic to achieve, relevant, and can be attained within a time frame is a SMART goal. Without all aspects, you might be goal-setting, but not effectively creating a plan for success.

You can also learn from Dr. Vivek Bindra- the best motivational speaker in India how to set goals and achieve them in this video: 

Let’s take a closer look at the five elements of S.M.A.R.T. goals:

  1.   SPECIFIC

A goal that is easy to understand can be attained. For instance, it could be a sales number or a product roll-out goal. No matter what the goal is, it should be clearly articulated so that everyone is on the same page with the objective. Define the outcome and the steps that need to be taken to accomplish the goal.

  1. MEASURABLE

Your goals need to have a quantifiable objective so that you can track progress. Define what will be the factors that will be used to measure the goal and set a method for tracking the progress.

  1.   ACHIEVABLE

Setting big goals is good. But they need to be realistic as well to maintain the momentum to try to achieve them. Also, you may want to break big goals into smaller, bite-sized chunks. If the goal is not doable, you will have to look for resources that will make your journey to achieve goals easier.

  1. RELEVANT

Goals should be relevant i.e. they should be aligned with the mission of the company. One way to find out if your goal is relevant is to figure out what are the benefits of these goals.

  1. TIME- BOUND

A goal without a deadline is just mundane work. Goals should have a deadline. And unless you set a final date, you can’t identify the success or failure of your goals.

As a business owner, evaluate these key facets of your life when creating goals this year:

1. Professional Life

Before setting goals, evaluate your professional life from various angles. How can you make the company better? What more can be done to upskill your employees or colleagues? Spend time reflecting on your past year’s achievements and lessons that you have learned during the course. See how you can improve in the year ahead.

You can also hire a business coach to look for new approaches to grow your business. Strive to implement new strategies that will allow you to overcome existing challenges.

2. Personal Life

When reviewing your personal goals, you may want to look at relationships with family, friends, clients, customers, colleagues, and employees. Find where you need to make adjustments to become the best version of yourself for them. Focus on the main components of your life, such as health, finances, and growth.

Benefits of S.M.A.R.T Goals

There are a lot of benefits to setting S.M.A.R.T goals. Some of them are given below:

i). It helps you to set an objective.

ii). It motivates you to succeed.

iii). It will force you to step out of your comfort zone.

Managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you.

Grow Your Startup Business With These 5 Effective Leadership Qualities

Grow Your Startup Business With These 5 Effective Leadership Qualities
Grow Your Startup Business With These 5 Effective Leadership Qualities

Now and then we come across some influential industrialists talking about powerful leadership and how it can help an organization to scale and grow. A strong leader can keep his employees and teams highly motivated. But what exactly are the characteristics that make a person a strong leader? Is it an influential connection or a charismatic personality? Does having a high competitive spirit make a person a powerful leader that holds the key to an organization’s success?

Excellent leadership is a necessity for every company that wishes to grow and sustain for a longer time in the market. The ups and downs and the uncertainty of the business demand a strong vision and a compassionate heart that is quick enough to make decisions to navigate the rough waters.

There are many business coaches according to whom ‘effective leadership is also all about building up the people around you: empowering them, trusting them, and ultimately, enabling them to contribute their expertise so that the team can become more than the sum of its parts.’

So if you are thinking of taking the charge and leading your startup business in a direction where it thrives and make progress, here are five leadership skills that will help you and your team increase your company’s leadership quotient:

1. Set Clear Priorities

It is easy to get caught up in a new organization that is making continuous progress. But, one of the key roles of a leader of your company is to prioritize the important things. When you make everything important, it creates a sense of chaos amongst the employees as most of the time they feel that everything is urgent.

As a leader, you need to sort through all the distractions and make it crystal clear to the people you are working with what they need to focus on first and foremost. Learn how you can sort important tasks from Dr. Vivek Bindra in this video:

2. Empower Your Team

Good leaders are not just focused on their personal growth. They leverage the skills and brainpower of their team. They never micro-manage and instead give their team freedom and space to figure out the best way to accomplish goals and complete tasks.

To implement this in your company, you need to be more aware of the results you are aiming for. Managers often micro-manage because they have not taken the time to figure out the outcome of the process. A good leader starts with the outcome in their mind and then lets their people find the best way to achieve it.

3. Start Delegating Work

Delegation is no less than an art. As a powerful leader, you must have this critical skill to be effective and advance. Failing to delegate work to the right people will leave you engaged with operational tasks that will hinder your advancement. So focus on highly important and complex tasks. Then delegate starting with simple and unimportant and work your way up.

4. Emotional Intelligence

Great leaders often are good communicators. They have the soft skills to help others manage their way through strong emotional responses. They not just listen to what people say but also try to understand what has not been said through nonverbal and contextual signals.

5. Analytical Mind

Strong leaders also tend to demonstrate strong analytical skills. An analytical leader can take stock of a situation, consider possible paths and likely outcomes, and chart the course most likely to succeed. This skill set provides value no matter your role, and it becomes increasingly valuable the more authority a person has.

If you want to be a powerful leader, you can start cultivating this set of five skills. To gain in-depth knowledge about how to become a strong leader, you can attend India’s most impactful leadership funnel program 2.0 by Dr. Vivek Bindra.

5 Powerful Quotes By Virat Kohli For A Stronger Comeback
5 Powerful Quotes By Virat Kohli For A Stronger Comeback

One of the finest batters in the world made his debut for India some 14 years ago. With years passing by, Kohli went on to change the way sports was perceived in the country and became one of the greatest players the world has ever seen.

From bringing the revolution to breaking unthinkable records, Kohli’s contribution to the game was unparalleled. Born on 5th November 1988, this Delhi boy has come a long way. From being a regular next-door chubby boy to a gluten-free athlete, Virat has climbed up the ladder of success with his sheer hard work, passion, and determination to succeed.

Here are 5 powerful quotes by the world’s greatest batsman who never shied away from expressing his true self:

1. The bat is not a toy, it’s a weapon. It gives me everything in my life, which helps me to do everything in the field.

— The cricket bat isn’t just a toy or tool for Virat Kohli, it is a weapon that helps him express himself on the field.

2. I always like to lead from the front and set an example for whoever is playing with me or around me. I like taking responsibility. That is my natural thing.

No matter the circumstances, Virat Kohli always believes in leading the team from the front and putting himself in the line of fire.

3. Whatever you want to do, do it with full passion and work hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else.

Virat Kohli believes in his capabilities, leaving it all on the field no matter who the opponent is. This quote represents his love, dedication, and passion for sports and perfectly represents his passion for the game and his hunger to perform well.

4. A lot of people tell me a lot of things about my conduct, my game, and my future… but I try to stay away from their words of wisdom. I don’t let it distract me. On the field, you will be facing the ball alone. If you fail, you will be the only one to blame. So, you should be the one deciding for yourself.

There will be as many opinions in the world, as there are people. So no matter what critics say or what the experts tell him, Virat Kohli doesn’t let the outside noise distract him.

5. I love playing under pressure. If there’s no pressure, then I’m not in the perfect zone.

Virat Kohli isn’t someone who gets bogged down by big challenges. He loves to perform under pressure and gives his best when there is pressure.

While Kohli remains one of India’s favorite cricketing sons, his charisma goes across the globe. The Indian cricket team skipper has fans all over the world. Virat Kohli has been out of form for some time as he was struggling with depression. But with his stellar performance in the recent Ind v/s Pak match in ICC World Cup 2022, he has amazed everyone!

8 Powerful Yet Hard Truths That Will Change Your Life!

8 Powerful Yet Hard Truths That Will Change Your Life!
8 Powerful Yet Hard Truths That Will Change Your Life!

“Life is what you make of it”- we must have come across this adage millions of times, however, only a few of us must have understood the true meaning behind these golden words. Whether you are looking to achieve your professional goals or personal goals, understanding the mysticism of the universe and how it works can surely help you to become successful.

Many entrepreneurs want to turn their startup business into a large venture. But due to a lack of guidance and the inability to have the right mindset they seldom succeed in taking their business to the next level. While there are many business motivational speakers in India, very few small business owners and entrepreneurs think about consulting them. However, working with a business coach can yield fruitful results in the long term.

A good business mentor will not only guide you with their years of expertise that they have experienced first-hand but can also help you to navigate the uncertainties of the business world. Many people often give up easily as soon as the situations begin to go haywire. But only with consistency and determination, you can fulfill your dreams.

On World Mental Health Day, let us give you eight golden truths that might shake you, or might hit you differently, but will bring you closer to the reality of life.

1. Consistency = Success

If you type the word ‘Success’ on Google, you will come across thousands of articles talking about tips and tricks and smart hacks to become successful in your life. From making small changes in your routines to big changes in your lifestyle, you will come across various tips claiming to produce guaranteed results.

But truth to be told, success is 5% brains and 95% consistency! Often people try to achieve something but give up soon. Others do not even attempt to achieve because they think they are not equipped with the required skills or knowledge. However, it is the consistent efforts and determination of a person that helps him win the race. You can watch some of the most amazing videos by Dr. Vivek Bindra- the best motivational speaker on how to create and set your goals.

2. Energy Flows Where the Focus Goes

Your energy and focus can make anything possible. And hence, you must focus your attention and channel your energy in the right place. Finding multiple time management tips will not help unless you figure out what are the activities that are taking up most of your time.

Most often people waste a lot of their energy on overthinking and meaningless relationships which are not at all constructive. Another thing on which the majority of people waste their energy and time is social media platforms. Although social media platforms also have lots of benefits, very few take advantage of it. So, before you start trying to find out excellent time management tips to increase your productivity, try to stop your time and energy from leaking from these three cracks.

3. Lack of Self-Awareness is the Most Dangerous Flaw

To evolve and grow in life, it is very essential to be self-aware. When you know what your strengths and weaknesses are; only then you can try to be a better version of yourself. However, one of the most dangerous flaws is the lack of self-awareness. If someone can’t tell you what their flaws are, they can never outgrow them.

4. Invest Your Money Before Spending it

In today’s world, people try to impress the people they don’t like by purchasing the things that they don’t need by spending money they don’t even have. The irony of this situation is that many people die while paying their debts and installments.

Hence, it is very important to have your finances in place. If you spend more than you earn to buy the things that you don’t even need, you will end up struggling for money. Always invest your money in buying assets or investment plans that generate income.

5. Actions Speak Louder Than Words

People often boast about the kind of person they are or about their character. But actions speak louder than words. A person’s ability to resist material things speaks volumes about their character rather than their ability to obtain them. The things that you possess say a lot about the kind of person you are in real life.

Many entrepreneurs often use their profits in buying expensive cars and other luxurious things instead of investing in their business growth. This can stall the progress of their business and might result in limited business operations.

6. Know When to End Partnerships & Relationships

Sometimes the things that we tend to hold for a long time are the things that stop our growth- professionally and personally. Many times entrepreneurs carry the baggage of partnerships with investors and clients just because they have been friends for a long time.

However, know that it is not the duration of a relationship or a partnership that matters, but the quality of it. How much value is it bringing to the table? Is it helping you to keep your mental peace or you are struggling hard to keep it going? Analyze it closely and know when to forge new partnerships and when to end them.

7. People Pleasing Can Cost Your Self-Worth

Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee working in the corporate world, networking can help you to grow and find new opportunities. However, people have built a culture of appeasing peers and seniors for professional gains and opportunities. But can we blame them entirely? Not really!

The culture of ego-massaging and people-pleasing has been encouraged from top to bottom. And people who have this skill ensure a comfortable professional journey in their organization. However, it may help you to achieve short-term goals. But in the long run, it will cost you your self-respect. You will never be able to respect yourself because you will become like a slave to external validation and people-pleasing just for a momentary gain.

8. You Are Where You Were Meant to Be

The world went digital for the convenience of human lives. Unfortunately, it has also caused a lot of mental health problems associated with too much consumption of information, negative feedback, criticism, and addiction to things that are filled with hatred and self-doubt.

Beautiful pictures on Instagram and Facebook make others believe that they are leading a life that is far from picture-perfect. This fills them with disappointment, self-criticism, envy, and dissatisfaction with their own lives.

But it is very important to know that you are exactly where you are meant to be. There will always be someone better, smarter, prettier, and more successful than you. But that does not diminish the struggles you have faced and the things you have achieved in your life. If you keep thinking that your happiness lies in a particular place, or you will attain happiness after achieving a particular milestone, you will never find happiness.

Stay happy and confident with whatever you have and wherever you are currently and keep aiming for more. The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

12 Powerful Quotes By Bill Gates For Business Success!

12 Powerful Quotes By Bill Gates For Business Success!
12 Powerful Quotes By Bill Gates For Business Success!

Born as William Henry Gates, Bill Gates needs no introduction. An American business magnate, software developer, author, investor, and philanthropist Bill Gates was the mastermind behind starting the most famous tech company- Microsoft. Not only that but he has also been an inspiration for young entrepreneurs who want to start their businesses. Here are 12 inspiring quotes by Bill Gates which will motivate you to grow your business on a grand scale:

1. Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

2. It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

3. This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

4. Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

5. Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.

6. The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

7. Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast, or a bridge player.

8. In business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count, like customer satisfaction and performance…you thrive on that.

9. Of my mental cycles, I devote maybe 10 percent to business thinking. Business isn’t that complicated. I wouldn’t want to put it on my business card.

10. Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don’t think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without talking about the other.

11. We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.

12. Don’t make the same decision twice. Spend time and thought to make a solid decision the first time so that you don’t revisit the issue unnecessarily. If you’re too willing to reopen issues, it interferes not only with your execution but also with your motivation to decide in the first place. After all, why bother deciding on an issue if it isn’t decided?

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

From Doing Embroidery on Clothes to Supporting the Family to Winning Gold in Weightlifting at CWG, Achinta Sheuli’s Journey is Super-Inspiring!

Success Story Of Achinta Sheuli
Success Story Of Achinta Sheuli

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Nothing in this world is impossible if you have the passion and determination for it. With sheer dedication and persistence, you can achieve anything that you want in your life. And Achinta Sheuli is the live example!

Achinta Sheuli with his outstanding performance in the Commonwealth Games won a gold medal for India in the men’s 73 kg weightlifting category with a combined lift of 313 kg (snatch 143 kg + clean and jerk 170 kg), creating a new CWG record. From embroidering necklines on women’s kurtas to working in fields Achinta Sheuli has come a long way to creating a record in CWG his journey was anything but smooth!

Followed His Brother’s Footsteps

Hailing from Deulpur in West Bengal, Achinta was first introduced to weightlifting by his brother. His brother Alok was fascinated by weightlifting after watching a body-building competition. Seeing his interest his mother Purnima took him to a gym run by Astam Das in 2010. Achinta followed his brother to that gym after a couple of years, and took to it, as a fish takes to water. Das trained them for free and provided nutritious food too.

But the turning point in Achinta’s life was the Junior National Championship held in 2013 in Guwahati, Assam. Achinta came fourth and was noticed by the Army Sports Institute. Alok said that Achinta was called for a trial by the Institute in 2014.

After his father passed away, it was very difficult for his family to survive financially. Their financial status was so poor that they did not have money to even perform their father’s last rites. To bring food to the table, his mother started doing needlework, and the kids joined in later. They would receive orders to embroider the necklines of women’s kurtas.

The family used to work for 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It was a hard job. On a very good week, they would make INR 1200. While on an average week, it was less.

Achinta and his brother also worked in the fields, harvested crops, and carried the loads on their head because they were given an egg a day and a kilo of chicken at the end of the day.

His Brother Was His Biggest Support

After his father passed away, Achinta’s brother Alok had become the breadwinner of their family. To support his mother, Alok gave up on his dreams. The training and food at Army Sports Institute helped Achinta get strong and gain weight. And he would train and embroider whenever he had the time while going to school.

And the Journey Began…

Achinta left his local school in class 6 and completed his further studies at the Army Sports Institute. He then participated in Youth National Games in Haryana and came third. He later joined the Army in 2015 and received a letter from the Indian camp. He won a silver medal in the Youth Commonwealth Games which was organized in Pune. He went on to win gold at the Commonwealth Championship in 2019 and silver at the Junior World Championship in 2021.

Thanks to the Army job and stipend, Achinta is now able to support his family. His mother does not need to do the needlework anymore and his brother Alok is focusing on his career now.

Achinta believes that a target, focus, and discipline are essential to succeed in life. And rightly so, he has made the entire nation proud by winning gold at the CWG after Mirabai Chanu and Jeremy Lalrinnunga.

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

6 Smart Tips For Entrepreneurs To Build Strong Relationships With Investors!

6 Smart Tips For Entrepreneurs To Build Strong Relationships With Investors!
6 Smart Tips For Entrepreneurs To Build Strong Relationships With Investors!

Summary: When adequate funds are the only thing that is stopping your startup from becoming successful, you might want to think about establishing good relationships with your investors.

Entrepreneurs put in their immense effort and hard work in pitching their business idea to angel investors to bring them on board because the key to success for most startups is having funds for the growth of their business.

However, a deal is never done when it comes to dealing with investors. If you have wooed your investors once, it does not mean you won’t need them again in the future. Investors with their lots of experience can offer incredible insight and resources that can get your startup business on the right track.

According to experts, nearly one-third of the startups shut down because of a lack of planning about the proper usage of their funds. This leads to investors losing interest and credibility in their business venture at the very early stage. Many entrepreneurs often hire a business coach to help them navigate the rough waters of the business world.

Managing investor relations can make a huge difference to your business. As an entrepreneur, it is your responsibility to strengthen ties with investors to position your current business for success. While a strong relationship can help the startup to grow rapidly, one wrong move can end the game for you.

Therefore, it is highly essential for you to maintain a working, productive, and winning relationship with your investors, even if they are not friendly.

Here are six pointers that will help you to build a strong and cordial relationship with your angel investors:

1.  Don’t Choose Investors Solely for Financial Purpose

Investors can provide not just funds, but also their valuable guidance and experience to accelerate your business. Acknowledge the relationships and expertise investors will bring to your business by giving them a voice. Listen to their underlying apprehensions and concerns. Encourage open conversation and clear dialogue so that you can learn more about their risk-taking appetite. You can consult with a business coach as well to understand how you can maintain dynamics with your investors.

2. Set Clear Expectations in the Beginning

An entrepreneur and investors need to be on the same page as nobody likes surprises in the business. Thus, it is vital to set the goals, nature of the relationship, degree of control, vision, the scale of growth, and exit strategy that is acceptable to both parties.

3. Be Authentic & Respectful

Investing in any firm is not a matter of a “fund it and forget it” scenario for any investor. In fact, they would like to stay updated with the latest ongoing in your organization. And when you are looking to strengthen your relationship with investors, it should be rooted in authenticity and respect. As entrepreneurs are coming into the market with their ideas, they should also respect their investors` opinions, suggestions, and feedback.

Despite the disagreements, they must behave respectfully towards each other. Discussions should happen openly to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.

To gain investors’ trust, startups must engage with them regularly, instead of treating them as an obstruction that needs to be dealt with.

4. Share Challenges & Achievements With Investors

Every investor wants to stay updated about the current progress of the venture he has invested in. Hence, update your investors regularly with the latest figures, and charts prepared by the startup team weekly or monthly, if not daily.

Also, be transparent with your investors. Even when there are failures or mistakes, be forthright with your angel investors. Keeping your communication channel open with your investors helps you build a positive image of the startup.

5. Pay Respectful Towards your Investor`s Input

Investors can guide your startup business with their expertise and insights gained from years of experience in the market. You don’t have to agree or incorporate every suggestion, but paying heed and valuing them will give your investors a sense of involvement and validation.

6. Address their Concerns

Investors might have concerns about your plans, strategies, or any other aspect of the business. You should make a conscious effort to address those concerns through open discussion, dialogue, and reasoning.

As founders seeking capital quickly learn, finding the right investor is often all about who you know.

If you are facing the biggest challenges from your investors, we can provide you with amazing solutions with our business coaching program. You can learn from the top industry experts how to take your business ahead in the market. Kick start your entrepreneurial journey by clicking here: www.badabusiness.com

One has to work hard to achieve what one truly desires. Thousands of people want to become entrepreneurs. But only a few succeed in becoming one. A true entrepreneur is a doer, not just a dreamer.

An entrepreneur is someone who constantly tries to create opportunities that may not have existed in the first place. They build everything from scratch and today we see them living the life they have always dreamed about in their respective arena. They do not shy away from accepting their mistakes and learning from them and openly hire a business coach to guide them when they seek help.

Today, we are going to talk about three entrepreneurs who with their sheer hard work and determination have established themselves as reputed business personalities:

Hailing from Delhi, Puneet’s Astrotalk was launched as a result of an astrological prediction. After completing his engineering, Puneet like most young graduates was clueless about his career goals. In 2015, Puneet was working as an IT engineer in Mumbai but wanted to quit his job. However, he wasn’t ready to take the risks. It was then that one of his friends helped him with an astrology prediction. He was guided by an astrologer to build a successful business. He laughed it off at that time, but today his startup Astrotalk is planning to expand its operations.

Puneet believes in following the business mantra ‘Talk to Your Customers’ which proved to be the reason behind his big success and made him a millionaire at such a young age.

17 Powerful Quotes By Swami Vivekananda To Fuel Your Passion

17 Powerful Quotes By Swami Vivekananda To Fuel Your Passion
17 Powerful Quotes By Swami Vivekananda To Fuel Your Passion

Summary: Swami Vivekananda was considered one of the greatest spiritual leaders in India. Here are some of the most inspiring quotes that will motivate you to achieve your goals.

Born on January 12, 1863, as Narendranath Datta, Swami Vivekananda hailed from an affluent aristocratic Bengali family who in his short life achieved the height of greatness. Vivekananda was a man with a great spiritual presence and tremendous intellect. He was a tireless teacher and writer. He wrote poems and hymns in Bengali, English, and Sanskrit, some of which are sung daily in Vedanta centers worldwide. He was ahead of his time in encouraging women and Westerners to not only practice Vedanta but to be leaders as well.

He played a significant role in introducing and spreading the awareness of the Indian Vedanta and philosophies of Yoga to the western world. His efforts put India on the world’s spiritual map. It was Swami Vivekananda’s 1893 speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago that changed the dimensions of Hinduism and redefined the way the world looked at India.

On the occasion of Teacher’s Day, here are 17 quotes from Swami Vivekananda that may inspire you to change the way you look at life:

1.  “Arise, awake, and don’t stop until the goal is reached.”

2.   “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your soul.”

3. “The greatest sin is to think you are weak.”

4. “The greatest religion is to be true to your nature. Have faith in yourselves.”

5. “Talk to yourself once a day, otherwise you may miss meeting an intelligent person in this world.”

6. “We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

7. “Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.”

8. “The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.”

9.  “Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.”

10. “Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin, to say that you are weak, or others are weak.”

11. “In a day, when you don’t come across any problems – you can be sure that you are traveling on the wrong path.”

12.   “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, and every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

13. “Do one thing at a time, and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else.”

14.  All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything, without even the guidance of anyone. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”

15. “Strength is life, weakness is death. Expansion is life, contraction is death. Love is life, hatred is death.”

16. “Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.”

17. “The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”

Whether you are a student or a business owner, we hope these quotes by the revered spiritual leader and a social reformist will inspire you to achieve your dreams.
