Faith can move mountains for real...

Reading through the great holy books of all time and the wonderful message they convey about faith, it sounds much exaggerated when they say “Faith can move mountains”. I simply could not accept that faith could make the impossible, possible, until recently. What changed my perspective was an audio program that pointed out that faith is just not to move mountains but to do a lot of other things as well.
Faith is the power to persist. Can u think of a simpler, yet convincing definition than this? Faith is really the power that helps you continue to do what you are doing now. Faith is just not the love of god or the love for god. It is the vitamin that let’s you persevere.
We have heard people say that faith can work wonders. Ever wondered how? It is the element that urges you to get out and start hunting for your success. It is the reason why people, in spite of the innumerous rejections and setbacks they face, come back again and perform. It is the reason as to why even when the entire world is against you – you still stand for what you believe in. We have heard of the stories of Socrates, Aristotle, Galileo and many more – who were rejected by people around them when they told the truth. After 4000 years we don’t remember the names of the people who were against them – but we certainly do remember these heroes for their faith.
Relating this to the present day scenario, I think this should give us enough relief when some one rejects us when we come up with an idea to change their financial destiny. Success is not denied to the person who strongly believes that he deserves it. People who have faith in them and Almighty will not be denied success, however delayed the gratification might be.
If we closely analyse any success story, it is always a mixture of failures, bad times, financial struggles, crisis and lot more sad stuffs. Just like a coal under tremendous pressure and heat transforms to a beautiful gem called Diamond, I believe these hurdles are very essential to transform yourselves into a better person. Can you lead a team of 5000 people right now with the skill sets you’ve right now? I really doubt it. Someday when you’ll head an organization, you’ll need to have the skills to communicate, motivate and inspire the mass. Now if you wish to do that someday in your lives, here is what you can do today.
1. Learn to become a leader by changing yourselves gradually.
2. You will be able to do the same to 1 or 2 of your friends or relatives.
3. You continue doing it, and after sometime you might be addressing 40-50 families.
4. Certainly after a while, you will be helping and benefiting more than a 1000 families.
If you dream to build a company of your own, you need to get started. You need to refine your skills, define your goals and targets and obviously have faith in what you’re doing. The example I quoted was no exaggeration; you need to have around 5000 people with you, to set up a sustaining business. For those who think this is impossible, continue doing what you are doing now, because you’ll never get anywhere without faith.
Fortune favours those who work with commitment. In this information age, when a lot many people are losing their jobs and income (predicted by leading economists in 2003-04), entrepreneurship is the name of the game. People who are self-sufficient will ride the tide, for the others it’s like a Tsunami that will sweep away their lifestyles.
It will not be a mistake to say that, there is a power greater than yourself that decides when to favour you with results and achievements; until then have faith and persist.

Change.. The ability to redirect your energy…

I hope that by the communications we have had so far, you would have started outlining your goals and defined a time frame to achieve them. If you haven’t, then start right away! Remember, " If you start early you become successful early". We all should be developing the 'DO IT NOW !!!' attitude, I can assure you the results are incredible! Change, is a measure of our ability to take different paths leading to the same goal. Change is an inevitable part of success. I believe, when we start up something new, we are guided by a magical "beginners luck" but beware as it doesn’t last forever! At a later phase we won’t get the results we wanted. We may also feel like we have emptied out all our resources. This is where ‘CHANGE’ comes into play. "The only thing that doesn’t change in this universe is the word change itself". Most people quit at this point. They don’t put in the efforts to do the R&D. If we strongly have a goal in our mind, when all ...

Just Shut Up and Listen... (JSUpL)

If you are confident, get up and speak, if you don’t know the answer Just Shut Up and Listen (JSUpL). These words are not unfamiliar, but are truly unpracticed. Its almost natural for us to react to situations around but most often we forget to whether we are the right person to advice people. Whatever is your age, experience, qualification – you need to develop the habit of listening to topics that you are not aware of. You need to respect the person who is helping you learn new practices and principles. Most often our ego gets in the way and protects us to learn things from people who are not qualified, inexperienced, under aged but with knowledge. This is so true, and just like it applies to me, it applies to you as well. Let think of this situation, you are 8+ years experienced in your organization, now a fresher comes in and talks about things that are knowledgeable and intellectually correct – but your ego gets in the way, and your years of experience logically defends the freshe...

Momentum Revisited...More of speed than skill…

I could understand from the feedback received on the previous newsletter that some of you had difficulty in assimilating the new definition of momentum that I had put forth. So I have decided to revisit the topic and explain a bit further. In the previous newsletter I’d defined business momentum as the product of skill and speed. Most often we see in business, that leaders tend to increase their speed infinitely so as to compensate for their lack of skill, to keep pace with the market. This phenomenon can be clearly seen in the billion dollar retail industry. Almost all major players focus primarily on improving their customer network prior to improving the quality of products. This is because of the immense latent power in networking. It would be foolish for a retail distributor to limit his operations to a single centre and concentrate on improving his products rather than on improving the quality of operation. This phenomenon can be seen all around us, but we may not have given it s...
