Do Well By Doing Good!

This week while attending a Seminar, one of our Ministers made a statement that Doing Well by Doing Good is very much possible. This statement stuck with me as “Doing Well” means a person is content, in good health, or successful. And “Doing Good” means an individual is performing good acts in the world. For many entrepreneurs like us, the phrases are now interchangeable. We will notice that many successful businesses built in our time – Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter – were started by people who believed they had a powerful idea that could change the world: the way we communicate, exchange goods, build relationships, and consumer news. Today’s most successful companies often trigger major developments that improve the world and make our lives easier. In today’s world, it is very much possible to run a healthy, successful Business and Life that are doing good things in the world.

At Jeevitam, our Livelihood Platform we believe that doing well by doing good may mean giving someone a chance when they need it most. Whether they come from a less privileged educational background or have numerous other circumstances working against them, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a great opportunity to work for or work along with a promising company. We believe everyone needs a platform to prove they can do something great -- we propose to be the catalyst to bring hope and a bright future to someone who may be struggling to find it. Over the years I have experienced that when we work at something we are passionate about, we are much more likely to see sustainable success. And if it’s something we love, there’s a good chance we will do some good in the world. Human relationships drive the success of our business and, if our choices are dictated by doing right by others, we will likely Do well and Do Good.

I think the ability to merge the ideas of “doing good” and “doing well” is not just a skill or a personal quality — it’s a life philosophy. My Startup Journey over the years have not been easy, there have been plenty of challenges, uncertainties, and setbacks. However I have seen if we truly believe in the power of our idea, the talents of our team, and the purpose of our solution, remaining positive will help turn it into a success. When we are positive and believe in serving others, we automatically align our actions to benefit others. I think if we apply this philosophy to our Life and Business, they both will do well and do good. The biggest and brightest festival of India, Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and Doing Well by Doing Good. I Wish All a Very Happy & Prosperous Diwali and the spirit of Doing Well by Doing Good remains with you always.

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...
