Sustaining Passion in Entrepreneurship –Anoop Bishnoi

-

 It’s often said that passion is the key to success, but how exactly do you find your passion as an entrepreneur? If you’re wondering, this article is for you.



There’s an old saying that if you do what you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life. While that mantra could be contested, the sentiment behind it is undeniably compelling. If you’ve already decided to start your own business, your success will largely be determined by whether or not your business is centered on something you are deeply passionate about.

To find out what we love to do or what we are passionate about we asked for some tips from the well-experienced and established business entrepreneur and mentor – Anoop Bishnoi. Here’s what Anoop has to say, “…What you enjoy doing, what piques your interest, and what makes you want to learn more, are the clues to finding your entrepreneurial drive and direction. These are the things you must try to bring back to life. Passion is a powerful feeling, but it can also be fleeting and that’s why you need to balance it with your expertise. Reality is harsh, so think that if your passion disappears one day, do you have something to keep you pushing forward? Passion isn’t a bad thing, it is required. However, using a passion for assessing business viability or success can be risky. Ideally, this means that your entrepreneurial journey should be one of mindfulness…nurtured by your passion.”

Going back in time could be exactly what you need to find your way forward. Set realistic goals for yourself and be conscious of your perspective. Every little achievement can serve as the inspiration you were looking for and make it easier for you to be enthusiastic about each day of work.

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...
