Starting a new business can not only be extremely challenging but quite daunting too. As a new business owner, you are likely to work longer hours. While entrepreneurship is certainly not without its hurdles, the journey itself can be exceptionally exciting and fulfilling – so long as you have the passion. Many business gurus started from scratch and built their companies from the ground up which often involves taking advice from the people one trusts.
#1 LEVERAGING STRENGTHS: Normally, in a country like India, there is immense pressure on all of us in terms of choosing a subject in school or a career path. While pursuing all these we are often unable to recognize our strengths. I believe that brainstorming with family & friends helps in identifying and leveraging your natural strengths. Shaping your future based on these learnings and core strengths, your chances of success would be higher and goals more attainable. All of us have shortcomings and weaknesses and hence we pour in massive effort and time rectifying and improving the same rather than concentrating on our key strengths. But it is the strengths that evolves into passion and determination. Hence, by focussing on our strengths, we choose the right business option- one that we will enjoy working for.
