Life after quieting the job

As I was planning to leave the job from last 6 or more months and finally I did on 7th Oct. Idea of leaving job and start something on my own always excited me and motivated me :), I was so happy, self-motivated, energetic and full of positive vibes that day and now it's been 24th days as being self employed and things has been changed.

1.           Now I am feeling what exactly job matters for middle class person..

2.           Thought of working hours 10:00 to 7:00 have been evaporated from my mind.

3.           Now 5th of every month will not excite me anymore as this is not my salary day.

4.           My colleagues and close friend don't have much time as they have time limits and I don't. I am free to work when I want and stop whenever I want (It's partially true as all of us have a word called "Deadline" to finish up work ;) )

5.          Wait for Friday has became more then ever for me and when it comes I found that I'll have to complete everything on weekend and surprise my clients by delivering what they want before time.

6.           My friends think that I have made so much money in only 23 days more then they can make in 3-4 months ;) ---- truth I borrowed money from my family to run my small initiative.

7.          I figured out watching inspiring movies, videos and books only excite me for 1 or 2 days and only thing which can excite and motivate me is only mine tiny success.

8.         Feeling more confident as I am putting my blood and sweat efforts to ground up my initiative.

This is what I have been experiencing these days and understood very well that raising a business is like raising a child

I am enough responsible, don't give me more responsbility

Best of my reason not to start taking the responsibility of something more:

1.      I don't have sufficient knowledge of take more responsibilities.

2.      Why should I take complete risk in-fact so many people are available to share the responsibly with me.

3.      What will happen if I successfully fulfill my responsibilities, do they give me credit?

4.      What will happen if I can't successful, do they fire me or insult me for under-performance?

5.      Fulfilling the responsibility needs time and passion I neither have time and nor passion for it that's why I don't want to take responsibility.

6.      I am loosely dead of being responsible of --- Bad marks, Not enough salary, Away from responsibility of being good son, not being complete social person, atheist, rude, stub-burn attitude etc....I am solely responsible of all these I don't want more responsibility...Responsibilities REALLY SUCKS.

I don't know why people think I should be responsible for something more, it's my life let me choose my responsibilities, nurture them.

I am responsible of my life-- my future, my present and my past, I am enough responsible and answerable to myself. Don't force me to take over more responsibilities...

Free resources for Entrepreneurs and Marketers

Whenever you are in initial stage of Entrepreneurship or Good Marketer, we all first focus on free resources so I thought to bring some of my best pick free resources which I use in my day to day life.


1.    Survey Monkey


I love survey monkey, it is exceptionally good platform to create your survey and share with your prospect/client etc. You can use that service to create a survey of 10 questions absolutely free but if you think 10 questions aren't enough, you can purchase the paid membership plans too.


I personally share with my every client who is going to indulge in any business in order to do the market research.


2.    Wonderlist




Best to-do list management app I ever came across and personally used. This is very simple with good interface to organize  to-do lists on the go and even synchronize them with your partner/manager/wife etc using free Wunderlist account. View and modify your tasks on Windows, Mac, Linux,iPad, Android and the Web. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide use Wunderlist everyday.


3.    Zoho CRM



If you are an small company want more leads in-flow and close them asap also turn them into happy customer then ZOHO CRM is for you. You and your two other sales and marketing member can make a best use of it to secure good leads and plan the marketing process easily, you can check features from here http://www.zoho.com/crm/zohocrm-pricing.html (Don't forget to click on + buttons so you complete list of features)

4.    Google DOCS/Drive (Now it become Google Drive)

Google Drive



You name anything Google uncle will give that for free. Its not completely true but partially it's true. Here is the Google Docs/Drive; . Use the best and optimal platform for  Upload, Share and Create (Word, Excel, Spreadsheet, Form, Drawing and tables) and Google one day ago launched Google drive which he integrated with google docus where you can store upto 5 GB data. You will need a mere google account, I know you everybody has at-least one, if  not then you are living medieval age.


5.    Elance/Odesk




Elance and Odesk are two most popular destination to find the web/graphic/sales/accounting professional at very competitive price. Client need to pay a penny to post their job posting but if you want to get more professional attention you can post sponsored job posting for that you have to make small payment and get 100 of professional's bid for your project right in your inbox.


6.    Portable Apps

As living in internet and fast paced world it is necessary to become fast and even faster but if your system is not fast enough you can't be fast enough. Use portable apps for software you don't usually use them. Keeping less used software in portable mode will help you to give space to install the important one.

7.    Mail Chimp


Mailchimp, another good option for small business to send the email newsletter to your prospects or clients. If you have fewer than 2,000 subscribers, you can send up to 12,000 emails per month absolutely free. If you have more subscriber and like to send more emails then you can go for paid membership, its worth taking if you have good list of potential subscriber http://mailchimp.com/pricing/


8.    Skype


Last but not least Skype, amazing software which makes internet calling experience more delightful with high quality. Its amazing to use for web conference and skype call conference too. It works very well for me and I hope it will work for you too.

Please build something ground breaking

We all are running in one parallel line and trying to overpass another by just adding one more flavor to well known dish of other's idea and social network is the best example of this. Myspace was the first social network which came into light and made the buzz after that Orkut came and then Facebook rocking the world but all of them are really different, are they really different, all are having the same objective more users, almost same features, share, share.


Some more coming into the same overcrowded place of social network and one among them is Shaker, a  promising social platform just like second match, they won the Techcrunch Disrupt . No doubt they have the good idea and potential to success but at what extent, is that possible that any of these type or upcoming ideas are going to change the way we share information or connect socially. have the desire to define the social network differently. I am not seeing this to happen anytime soon.


We all are happy to follow the same irony of building the circle around a circle. I am waiting to see something ground breaking which will transform the way with strong idea.


Hope we will see something really different soon.
