In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity – Albert Einstein

How true is that, can you relate with it? There is a seed of equal or bigger opportunities during every difficulty.

After you make an internal commitment to your business, you need to be attentive while choosing partners. Your partners can make it or break it. Appointment of the brilliant minded team is equally important to create a culture of growth.

6.   Develop leadership skills to influence people  

Did you heard, leadership skills are not innate, and it can be taught. You need to get mentored to develop yourself into a magnetic personality. You should be able to influence people by expressing emotions and handling interpersonal relationships judiciously and em-pathetically.

There’s a question to job seekers, “What is that obstacle, which is stopping you to start something of your own.” Possibly you would have so many excuses not to start it, but believe me, you need only one strong reason to do it. Think at least seriously and write down all the pros and cons, which could shift your mindset to transform into an employer from the employee.

Either you can make excuses or success, but not both. The choice is yours.

                          (Quote from the book – From Dreaming to Achieving, in LIFE – Chapter 1/Page 39)       

Stop making excuses because no one wants to know your reason for not being successful, there are hundreds of people who did it in the same circumstances. Now it is your time to prove it.
