Everyone has the fear of the failure, no one is an exception in that. But it is the most affecting factor now a day in India. I have recently joined a startup course and there are many people I saw that everyone have the idea to do business and became an entrepreneur but they all have one thing that is restraining them from doing or starting it. It's the fear of the failure. I am also working on my startup idea and finding people to make a team with but when I talk to these people almost all of them says that "we prefer doing a job rather than a startup." and when I ask about the reason they say "what if we fail?" Everybody has the fear of failure and that thing is restraining them from doing the best they can or what they are capable of. This the reason why I'm writing this article today. I don't have a bigger failure like some entrepreneurs but I have many of them(but small ones).  So, let's see how to overcome that fear of failure to...

How I Learned to Lead in a Male-Dominated Manufacturing Company by  Miniya Chatterji After living away from India for 14 years, I returned three years ago to create and take charge of the sustainability department of Jindal Steel & Power, one of India’s largest manufacturing business conglomerates. I realized that in Indian business, power is still bafflingly associated with virility and manliness. Stereotypes dictate that women are not naturally accorded the same power as men, even in similar leadership roles. And ironically, in a country where one million people will turn  18 every month for the next several years , being 60 is still one of the essential criteria for being considered for a leadership position. Here I was a woman leader, half the age of my peers, in a fast-growing company in which a mere 3.5% were women. Not only did I have to establish the vision for the company’s sustainability — holistic growth of the company is how we defined it — but al...

You may expect that success will come fast (or not at all). You may see entrepreneurship as an easy way to get rich. But these assumptions are false. Entrepreneurship is romanticized in our culture, and it’s easy to see why: We live in a capitalistic society that values the creation of ideas, the unlimited potential of business and of course the prestige of attaining wealth and power. On top of that, we have entrepreneurial celebrities like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg inspiring countless waves of new entrepreneurs striving to achieve the same level of success they did. That is a good thing -- mostly: Startups drive economic growth, and the entrepreneurial journey is valuable in almost any future application. However, too many young people (and people new to business ownership) end up being in over their heads because they believed in these common entrepreneurial misconceptions: 1. Entrepreneurs are born to lead. Read Full Article

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Aristotle is credited with saying these 15 famous words. And for most of my life…I didn’t believe him. I fought against cultivating good habits and routines because I didn’t want to feel like I had to live my life by other people’s  rules . I wanted to be my own person and do my own thing. Besides, keeping a routine was hard work. Know what I discovered? Having  no  routine or structure is so much more draining mentally, physically, and emotionally than any routine could ever be! By  not  doing the things I knew would make me better — habits like exercising, meditating, and creating gratitude lists—I deprived my body and mind of the energy that these types of positive activities create. I felt tired…inside and out. And to make matters worse, my dreams and goals were just slipping away. A few years ago I decided to take a different path…to listen to Aristo...
