2 Years at Business: How far have we come?

The past year (2022) was tough, for us at office. We were in a different heaven and suddenly were forced to fall from the sky! 🌧️

We realized the pain of people leaving us, people betraying us, partners threatening us, money flow 💸 getting impacted & what not, definitely something we’ve never anticipated for, while registering the organization!

During those months, I had developed so much of toxic emotions about the Organization that it took me really sometime to get out of it.

Now, I’m at least in a point of life, where I’ve accepted that, life will be full of all sorts of drama, emotions, pains & joy🌈. That’s how we all live through & go ahead!

I suck at Sales, I suck the most! I really don’t know, how to make money by selling something. Forget about selling, during these months, I’ve lost the confidence to pitch something to customer when the flow of money is stopped!

The only way I had mastered of making money was through job and I’ve left that behind by my own choice. Recently, I’ve started 📚 reading about Sales, but to bring that to practice might take me a while for sure!

I’ve always found comfort in building, designing and doing things with hand where involvement🏗️ is demanded. Somehow, I understand business requires me to do much more than that including, pitching products, managing teams, making revenue, filing taxes and what not!

I don’t understand simple things like GST/TDS at times and that makes me feel so incompetent😟 when I was dealing with govt officials recently for our event, who were able to easily twist the facts in the direction they want it! I wish, I understand the finances better!!

We had started this organization as an experiment on the side, while later on many things have appeared which have exposed our innate characters. We’ve executed events, while also this is true, we’ve turned lazy at times along theway.

Some of the days, I come to office and at day end, I feel I achieved nothing. But, also this place has given us some identity of sort, though on days when I see successful people/companies around, I feel really jealous! I get self doubts about myself, why I’m unable to do so!!

I might have misunderstood the idea of Education or Ed-tech, something which personally hurts me to make a business of and also the name of our organization, which is little tough to penetrate across the market we’re trying for.

I’ve experienced the lack of energy in me, when we’ve lost direction. We could be humble enough to accept that, it’s not too late to start again, learn many things around and drive ourselves to building business, not as a startup, but something at Mega Scale!🚀

Not being motivational at all, I wonder sometimes about the two folks Larry & Sergey who were at 25 Years of age, when they started the Ultimate Monopoly, “Google” 🌟when they met at Stanford! I know, it’s too much of tall things to talk, when we’ve not much money in the pocket.

I always remind myself, our kingdom might be just 140 Sq ft in size, but still we’re the Kings👑! We should start small, but the ambition should be to be to arrive at the top!!!

I seriously want to be a part of Original work, original product and generate wealth. We shouldn’t remain another vendor in the market!

Technology is the Present & Future💡, all we need is to strengthen ourselves with right kind of knowledge & people.

I’ve personally listed out long list of things to learn across tech, business, design, writing, sales and fitness to stay strong in this journey & building ourselves stronger.

Long way to go!
