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.

Entrepreneur by choice or by reason?

I met lots of people in last year, some of them are entrepreneur by choice and some entrepreneur by reason; both type entrepreneur are hard working and doing their business in a best way they can do by their fullest knowledge, skills and leadership quality. But I found pretty significant difference between these two type entrepreneur they are different in many ways.


Starting a business?  From eye of  entrepreneur by choice 

"Entrepreneur by choice" they dig down in all documentation process, make the business plan, marketing strategy, financial sheets and all other stuff which can make their business successful. They all are more like the students who learn the leadership, entrepreneurship in B-Schools and they do in the same way they taught in school, just because we heard this from our teachers/parents/friends etc. I also think it is good practice and shown its importance but sometime my heart start talking about other side of coin, what will happen if somebody don't have all this?


Starting business? From eye of "Entrepreneur by reason"
"Entrepreneur by reason" sorry they are not having much time for business plan, market analysis, financial sheets, they just have a reason to start the business, they already having a problem and trying to solve that. Rather stuck in business plan, marketing strategy and all B-School taught lessons all we hear; they don't wait for finding that all signals are green to drive a car but they start driving a car and finds the way to reach towards solution. Some time they succeed and sometime they fail but they are more towards finding a solution.


On the contrary "Entrepreneur by choice" try to find the reason why this business would be beneficial through business plan, market analysis, financial study. 


-------------------------------

Running a business From eye of "Entrepreneur by choice"
As these type entrepreneurs are going through the well documented process to define what exactly they are going to do with business in first year, second year, third, fourth and fifth. They have lots of thing to focus; whether marketing strategy going with their thoughts which they earlier mentioned in business plan, whether profit ratio is closer to their expectation, whether expenditure is more then profit, reason behind idea was strong enough to sustain in market and too many questions?? question mark???? and more question mark??



Running a business From eye of "Entrepreneur by reason"
A entrepreneur who has the reason behind initiating a business is pretty different when they come to running a business. This type entrepreneur focus doesn't land in overcrowded market of question, they usually have one question how to solve the problem, whether require more finance to solve the problem, how much time it is going to do so. They are not more into profit making thing, they are solving the problem, they are like crazy, they dedicate all their time to solve the time and forget all. When they solve the problem they quickly move to another problem.


Entrepreneur by choice aren't much focused on solving the problem they are more towards how to make the business successful.


-------------------------------

Goal From eye of "Entrepreneur by reason"
In concise way I can say that "Entrepreneur by reason" kind of entrepreneur always run behind the solution to the problem and that's becomes their goal.

Goal From eye of "Entrepreneur by choice"
On the other hand "Entrepreneur by choice" explored the reason on which he/she can build the business they look to solve the problem too but their focus lands on growing the business so their goal always remain in court of business success.

Now I personally feel that IT industry lacking the "entrepreneur by reason" most of them are just "entrepreneur by choice".

Check where you stands "entrepreneur by reason" or "entrepreneur by choice".

My Friend Entrepreneur & his spoken english classes @ Rs.99

Entrepreneurship, a word excites, energize and motivate us to do something with strong motive of changing the world. One of my friend, Vipin Shakya, deep dived into endless sea of entrepreneurship with his impressive business model. I am going to share some sneak peak about his business


Stepps, towards great leap (Check Website)
In this global era communication is so important and ENGLISH has become the main source. Our day to day life is slowly moving towards globalization which has put knowledge of English into streamline. Now a days English is not something which we use to show off our higher social status but it has become our need. Our jobs are pretty much depends upon how good we are in ENGLISH, All IT companies requires the employee who has the  good command over this native language (as I am talking about India) but this is not the case with IT only, most of the good reputed companies also have same need for their Manager, PR and higher management peoples.


By keeping this fact in mind my friend Vipin initiated Spoken English Classes with amazing state-of-the art center at AGRA (City of "TAJMAHAL").


I had a word with Vipin to know more about STEPSS:


Stepps in Vipin's word "Stepps is not just about spoken English institute; here I'll help students to cultivate leadership quality so they will get better jobs and lots of success on professional and personal grounds.


He also told me about his new Spoken Class package in which he is offering one month classes at just Rs.99/- so his classes can be in reach of every general public.


I am really amazed with his noble thought of running the classes at just mere fee of Rs.99/- for complete month. 


I am sure lucky 15 students will be more confident when they complete the one month classes, so if you want to enroll, enroll now.

Everyone in business is CREATIVE!

Me and my friends were standing outside Art Store in Chandigarh and one of my friends said "Wow, what a creative design and all nodded the head unanimously and next words from him were why I am not creative". I just had few words for him "You are doing very well in your industry and working as sales manager what else you need" but he still remained on his words and said he is not creative. I didn't argue with him as I didn't have right answer for him, but just before 15 min I was going through my management book and found great thoughts


Everyone in business is CREATIVE


Some of the most creative people are in Manufacturing they actually create the product that change the world.


Some of the least creative people perhaps are in advertising, they spend most of their time telling manufacturers that they...aren't creative!


Salespeople Are Creative - They are natural story-tellers.


Accountants are creative.


Now I can say my friend you are Creative!

New way to find #help, #suggestions, #events and #info on Google+

I was logged on Google plus last night and about to go offline then I saw one post from Jessica Gottlieb. She wants some help to create recurring monthly invoice in paypal and luckily I got the link on youtube where complete procedure was well defined and forwarded that link to her.




She was very happy from this small effort of mine and me too. Helping other always gives the pleasure that we are doing something worth to remember by us. 


Last night one good idea stroked in my mind to create the strong environment where user can easily find the help from other member of Google+ and even suggestions, events details and much more, it is possible with with uniform keywords with #Hashtag. If we use one uniform keyword while we need any help from others we all can find help easily and even help others so quick & easily. 


So below is my 4 favorite uniform keywords


1.         #help
2.         #suggestions
3.         #events
4.         #info


You can add many more into this list but the more important thing is we all know this and use when we want to know something from another users, who knows it create unique helping zone inside Google plus and even possible that google start sharing this info on search engine.


Why I added #hashtag?
Hashtags on Google Plus is a feature that allows hash tagged keywords on Google Plus to directly link to search results around that topic, I think we all are familiar with this in twitter and it works same in G+. Hashtags on Google Plus (#) also work in every keyboard language.


Find all #help, #suggestion, #event and #info under these keywords which can be easily accessible through search area of Google plus. WHILE YOU SEARCH YOY DON'T NEED TO PUT #HASHTAG.


I hope from this we'll be able to help other and get some help quickly when we need.


Help others, it really help you....
