The Power of Dreams

Believe in yourself-in the power that you have to control your own life,
You know yourself best & the fact is the situation at home and at work is full of strife

What is there in front of you is a very big task
Breaking it into doable bits is not a very difficult ask!

Day by day, believe in the strength that you have deep inside
Your faith will show the direction forward and do it with pride

Believe in tomorrow and the joy it will bring,
Show you are making a difference by doing your own thing!

Matters will get sorted out so keep your dreams alive
Things always work out and in tough times only do tough people thrive!

There is absolutely no limit to what an individual can do
So go confidently in the direction of your dreams and make the same true
I want all to take inspiration from these words and chart their own success stories too!

Have fun blogging

The golden rules for blogging and gaining popularity in the blogosphere are written below for reference.

  • Post consistently
  • Post frequently
  • Write about what interests you--within reason
  • Share and give credit
  • Have a point of view
  • Listen to everything--and everyone
  • Have fun
Not to mention that whatever you do have fun,be helpful and be productive,try not to hurt sentiments of people and see how things can be done most effectively at the least cost to yourself and it is nice to indulge in some ego-surfing once in a way.One should try to find out why one is popular and what is the real reason behind the same - and a bad name is also a name as the saying goes in Urdu

Nafrat hi Sahi -Ulfath Na Sahi - Usko bhi Mohabbath kehte hain

Translated

People hate me - Cetainly do not love me - That is also love (of a different type)

Overcoming lack of knowledge & experience

Knowledge and experience of the type of business you are starting or buying are certainly important to have. But, a lack of either, or of both, can be overcome.One has to be pragmatic and find a solution that works at a low cost.

What I am doing to overcome the drawbacks I have in me:

  1. Learning from the best people,companies,websites and books I know.
  2. Trying the whole process out for myself .
  3. Build on the gains from the learning experience.
  4. Keeping myself updated on what is happening in business, R & D and the impact on markets.
  5. Being as frugal as possible
One has to keep the past of individuals and friends and companies in mind and not neglect the oldest proverbs in business and life-I ignored a proverb and paid dearly for it and in future I will be really cautious.

The link for today will be http://forum.belmont.edu/cornwall/

It is the among the best links I have found to date and the good professors thinking has influenced me quite a bit and there is still a lot to be learned about creating new opportunities and finding customers and as always hard cash is king for any business venture.Enough said.

Got Amazon.com Invite

Yes I got the invite and am going to the function organized by Amazon.com in Bangalore.The talk is titled
"Building Blocks of Innovation" and yes I want people to know-to make innovation actually happen one has to be creative.Ideas are fleeting moments from which we can capture value - provided we write/register the idea some place for future reference and subsequent action.

My recipe for converting ideas into products/service or a combination of both is below :
  1. Know the costs of implementation and making a prototype.
  2. Show the prototype and demonstrate the product/service to people you trust for evaluation.
  3. Release a trial version
  4. gather feedback from actual users
  5. Price the product/service properly
  6. provide a no questions asked return guarantee/warrantee
  7. Introduce a subscription based following
