Dear friends,
I am excited to share with you that I authored
a book on entrepreneurial leadership tentatively titled, “Secrets to Achieve
Your Entrepreneurial and Leadership Success.” Here is the free book chapter. I
would appreciate if you could share your thoughts about this book on social
media channels including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.
The Power of Ideas to
Achieve Entrepreneurial Success!
"All our dreams can come true, if
we have the courage to pursue them." ― Walt Disney
Eminent people including Albert
Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan
Milton, Walt Disney, and Stephen King tasted failures initially. But they
learned lessons from their failures and moved forward with energy and
enthusiasm. For them, failure is only a comma, not a full stop. Unsuccessful entrepreneurs complain lack of
resources and opportunities to accomplish their ambitions. They complain their
circumstances and the people around them for their challenges and failures. On
the other hand, successful entrepreneurs explore ideas to overcome their
challenges and achieve entrepreneurial success. They are rare breeds who don’t
invent excuses to overcome their challenges.
Ideas
versus Resources
Ideas are more important than the
resources. When you have ideas, you explore opportunities and develop the
mindset to raise resources. When humans undergo challenges their real strength
surfaces and they unlock their hidden potential. Challenges lead to creativity
paving the way for innovative solutions. The most inventions occurred during
the global crises and challenges. During The Great Depression, several global
companies were founded. During the Second World War, atom bomb was invented.
Therefore, true leaders run behind ideas, explore opportunities and raise
resources instead of running helter and shelter during crises.
It is a well admitted fact that when
people are in problems they come out of their comfort zone and expand their
minds. When you look at Israel and Singapore they did not have human resources
but they became prosperous and grew globally due to their ideas and audacious
vision.
Technology
is an Advantage for Entrepreneurs
To excel as a successful entrepreneur,
it is advisable to have prior experience. However, entrepreneurs including
Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Ray Kroc, Colonel Sanders and
Richard Branson are successful without any prior experience. What is essential
is entrepreneurial acumen and intuition to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Technology has become a boon for
entrepreneurs. With amazing ideas and without any capital, entrepreneurs are
starting their businesses globally. There are several companies that grew with
less capital and human resources. For instance, Whatsapp has a few employees; Google
doesn’t own content; and Uber runs business through ideas, not by owning cars.
It is obvious from these inspiring examples that ideas are more important than
anything else in the world. When entrepreneurs have ideas and audacious vision,
they can accomplish their goals and objectives effectively.
Ideas
Serve as Seeds to Success
"If I have a thousand ideas and
only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied." ― Alfred Noble
Ideas lead to success as they serve as
seeds to development and growth. It is essential to capture the ideas whenever
they pop up in your mind. It is advisable to record them in your journal to
reflect during your leisure time. It is from these ideas the civilization has
advanced. And civilization will go to the next higher level. I get lots of
ideas to author books. Whenever ideas pop up in my mind I scribble them
immediately in my journal that I always carry with me. I develop them during my
leisure time. It is from these ideas I authored 36 leadership books including
the bestselling ‘21 Success Sutras for CEOs’ https://lnkd.in/eqwk9uZ.
Opportunities
are Infinite while Your Life is Finite
“I think life on Earth must be about
more than just solving problems... It's got to be something inspiring, even if
it is vicarious.” ― Elon Musk
Currently there are immense
opportunities for the individuals with ideas and ambitions. Only thing they
must do is to take risks to explore and apply their ideas to accomplish their
ambitions. They must remember that life is very short. They must also note that
they are blessed with one life only to explore and avail the opportunities to
make it big. Remember, opportunities are
infinite while your life is finite. Hence, make your decision wisely by
following your passions to provide meaning to your life.
Conclusion
"Everything begins with an
idea." ― Earl Nightingale
If we did not explore ideas we would
have remained in ancient times. Thanks to ideas that the civilization has
progressed to the current level. And thanks to ideas that we are able to add
value to future generations.
When you think, you get ideas; when
you ink, you capture your ideas; and when you apply your ideas, you achieve
success. Hence, start thinking, inking and applying your ideas to achieve an
amazing success in your life.
Life is great!
