Life is unpredictable, and so is a business – not everything goes as planned. This is because outside forces are constantly at work, both creating situations and choices that lead us to success or, more often than not, place roadblocks in our path. While no entrepreneur wants to think of negative situations, it goes without saying that failures are a part of every successful journey. At the time it may feel crushing, but in reality every time you fail at something you get an opportunity to learn from it, grow, and evolve. In a way- the more success you desire, the more failure you must overcome.

In today’s read we’re going to figure out how we can overcome failures to reach our eventual goals. Recently we had a chance to have a quick conversation wi...

 Since the COVID-19 pandemic, education has been severely disrupted. The global priority in response to this crisis is to ensure that every child is supported so that they can return to school and the learning loss can be recovered. Throughout the pandemic children have missed out on normal developmental opportunities. Their lives became narrow, just in and around home, which of course was needed to keep them safe from COVID-19. But without question, it also robbed them of numerous life lessons that can’t be taught at home. What happens now – their social skills are out of practice and they might be a little more emotionally fragile than they would normally be. This has been an incredibly difficult period for children, but as parents and guardians, we need to find ways to get their lives back on track. As someone who has w...

There’s no doubt that businesses need capital to get off the ground. However, if you have a great idea, there are many ways to start your business without incurring huge costs. If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering how to start a business with little or no money, or is it even possible….well, the answer is – Yes! It’s indeed possible and throughout this article, we’ll share some great tips on how to start a business with limited or no capital. Businesses are traditionally conditioned to begin with a mindset of filling the gap – between the customer’s needs and the already available services/products in the market (some of which may not be upto the mark). That’s how we establish a goal and create something new and innovative that is yet to be brought to the market. But if you’re someone who’s starting out small, instead of asking yourself about the gap in the market, start with the question, “What can I provide, and who will be interested in it?” That’s about the idea, b...

If you’ve decided to start, just remember one thing, be finan...

 Being an entrepreneur and having an entrepreneurial mindset are two separate things. If we look closely at how business people become successful, then it won’t go unnoticed that they have a way of thinking and an attitude that is different from most.
