I passed my college exams by chance, i.e. grace marks issued by the secondary board. Not because I wasn’t good at studying, but because of the access middle class has to the quality of education, the way teachers teach and the education “system” itself.
In 2006, I started my professional career as a Telesales Executive, making 500+ Calls/Day trying to sell broadband services to cold prospects in the UK, earning only Rs.15,000/Month (less than $100)
I didn’t like it and realized that I’m stuck.
I tried visualizing myself doing that job…
Or any other job for that matter…
And I couldn’t come to terms with how the picture looked like…
I thought there has to be more ways to earn an income other than a job.
I also realized that I’ve got so much potential and it’s never going to be fully utilized if I stay at a job.
It was then I started to Think for myself.
I took a step back to Observe & Explore. That’s when things started to change inside me.
That’s when I decided I want to be in Business for myself… and the rest is history.
I became a Student of Business. And it became evident to me very quickly that business growth is directly proportional to personal growth.
As I progressed, I realized that I’m a Lifestyle Entrepreneur.
Meaning, I like to build businesses systematically, digitally, around my interests, skills and passions.
Businesses that can be delegated, outsourced and automated.
Businesses that utilize my creative potential and higher mental faculties.
Businesses that push me to grow, are challenging and allow me to learn new skills.
