This week I saw a picture on one's journey from Comfort Zone to Growth Zone shared by one of my friends in a WhatsApp Group. It struck a chord with me - I thought it in fact captured Our Journey from Comfort Zone to Growth Zone really well. We often hear that we all need to get out of our Comfort Zones and that the magic happens - ‘out of our Comfort Zone’, it actually happened with us. I’m sure wherever we are on our business journey or in life in general, we all know where our comfort zone is, how we feel secure in it and how it feels when we step out of it. In our hearts, we all want to break free from our comfort zones but fear stops us. I know how many times we all have made excuses to ourselves not to do something we always wanted to do. I have experienced that once we make the decision to leave our Comfort Zone, we reach an unknown zone, the Fear Zone. I have experienced this fear and soon I realized that the fear over that particular issue was not that bad as I had t...

This week one of my friends from Australia shared his podcast on the topic 'Leveraging a Crushing Setback for a Second Chance at Significance'. One of the key takeaways from this podcast which I could relate so much was on how building a Resilient Character is important for us in our Life & Business. Over the years I have learned that Life may not come with a map, but each one of us will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more lasting impact. Yet we all generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations — in part thanks to our resilient character. I have seen that the people with strong resilient character have "internal locus of control”: they believe that they, and not their circumstances, affect their achievements, they frame adversity as a challenge, they become more flexible and are able to deal with it, they move on, they learn from it, and they grow. I believe as much as a resilient ...

The last few weeks were spent by me help fighting out insecurities of many. I believe Everyone feels insecure from time to time, perhaps particularly in certain situations. Insecurity, or a tendency to lack confidence or certainty in oneself, may be experienced by most of us regarding some aspects of our lives. I have seen Insecurity often causes negative thoughts about our own ability to reach goals or find acceptance and support. Sometimes our thoughts are backed by so much Insecurity, that they create lies we believe. I have experienced that most of the insecurities in relationships whether Personal or Professional are mainly because of communication breakdown and trust deficit. And addressing these two issues is the key to resolving these insecurities. As a Startuprenure over the years, I have learned that over-communication is the key to handle insecurities in any enduring relationship. In healthy business relationships, each side depends on the other to keep informed. Besides,...

This week one of my friends sent a video in a WhatsApp group which talked about 'What Do We Practice in Our Life'? It talked about whatever we practice in our life, we'll get good at it. So if we practice complaining, we'll get good at it. At the same time, if we practice joy or happiness, we'll get very good at it too. I know of many people who are constant cribbers, at the same time I know of many people who are constantly happy with what's going on in life. So we become what we choose to be and what practice in our daily life. Looking back I think unconsciously, I chose to be Positive about whichever situation I might be in, which inadvertently helped to go through the tough situations of my Startup Journey. We all have instinctive preferences in doing things in a particular way. This becomes a practice and over a period of time repeatedly done becomes a habit. We are defined by our habits, therefore it is crucial to watch what is our instinctive pre...
