Turning failure into success – Anoop Singh Bishnoi

-

Running a company is one of the hardest things you can do. When you succeed you feel like you’re on top of the world and can achieve anything. But when you fail, it feels like you’ve been shattered and crushed, along with a lot of discouragement and demotivation.

Starting and running a business is risky and failures are inevitable. There could be day to day small failures that you may overcome, and/or long term and serious failures that may need you to rethink your goals, strategies, and approach. But no matter what it looks like, navigating and finding a way through these difficult situations is what truly defines a successful entrepreneur.

In a recent conversation with Anoop Singh Bishnoi, a well-known name in the list of successful entrepreneurs; we asked him for some tips he would like to share about how to handle such situations better, and here’s what he said, “…there aren’t actually any such contingency plans, but being mentally prepared for the difficult times makes you much more equipped for facing hardships head-on. Every individual must have an outlet to feel better on days when things get tough. It could be in the form of exercising or spending time with people you care about, just try not to dwell on it for too long and always remember to make your decisions rationally. Try not to let yourself get strongly attached to the idea of failing, understand and recognize it, ask yourself why you failed, learn from it and start all over again, while continuing to live your life happily as you work towards achieving what you love.”

Moving on is necessary, and so is learning… because as an entrepreneur you should be prepared to face many ups and downs throughout your journey. And the only thing that matters in the end is how you survived it all, as the best entrepreneurs are not defined by their successes but rather by how they deal with their failures!

How often do we become consciously aware of the feelings and perspectives of those with whom we interact on a daily basis, whether they are familiar or strangers? In today’s increasingly diverse world, the classroom is often the first place where students are exposed to people from a variety of different backgrounds, beliefs, and abilities. Social and emotional learning (SEL) aims to help students better understand their thoughts and emotions, become more self-aware, and develop more empathy for others in their community and the world around them in order to account for these differences and help put all students on an equal footing to succeed. Here’s what Anoop Bishnoi , Chairman of The Doon School, Dehradun, has to say about why social and emotional learning is essential for students.

Launching a business? The plan may sound enticing, but don’t you forget – Business always tests you! Success stories are motivating, but in reality, the road is a lot bumpier than it seems. And the most powerful asset throughout this journey will be your mental strength. Anyone can start a business but not everyone has the mental muscle to become outstanding; to face determined competitors and overcome customers’ resistance to change. Recently, we interviewed Anoop Bishnoi , a successful entrepreneur, and a great mentor, to talk about mental toughness and how to build it, here’s what he has to say, “…mental strength isn’t something that can be learned, it’s an approach to life which needs control, confidence, and commitment. To train your mind to become tougher, the first thing you need to do is to alter negative reactions to reasoning and finding solutions, start looking for opportunities and positives in bad news.” No doubt that it sounds like a great approach to cope with any gi...
