So, How are Things Now?

A Day Doesn’t Go by When Someone Doesn’t Ask Us This Question – “So, How Are Things Now?” We do our Best to Answer The Question, and Usually, get Responses that Range from Skepticism to Extreme Positive Surprise and Everything Else in Between. What We are Unable to Give in These Short Discussions is Context, and All the Details That Have Made Our Entrepreneurial Journey Excruciating, Yet Special.

And Here Are The Things We Learnt About Ourselves :
1) *Entrepreneurship is Lonely.* A great Co-Founder is Often the Difference Between Hope and Despair.

2) *Family Support is Key.* Some of the most Stressful Times at Work Melt Away in the Simple Joyful Moments at Home. Your Family Will Always be Your Oasis.

3) *Leadership Under Fire is Who You Really Are.* Tough times Bring Out Either the Best or the Worst in You. Strong Leadership is not about Being Hard in Harsh Times. It is About Being Clear, Calm and Confident in Challenging Times.

4) *Don’t let Skeptics Discourage You.* It’s Not Our Intent to Convert People, and We don’t Let Their Ignorance or Indifference Deter Us Either.

There are Many Mountains Left to Climb and Together as a Team, We Know that We Will Rise to Each Challenge – There Will be Days When We Will Sprint and Some Days We Will Hunker Down to Ponder the Best Way Forward. We Want to Thank Everyone Who has Been a Vocal or Silent Cheerleader for Our Team. They Inspire Us to Do Our Best Every Day And Keep Moving Forward. Thank you!!

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
