Team is Steam

                    Team is Steam    In other words,Right People on the bus. Any business is all about people whether it is customers or employees or investors. Most businesses start because they solve certain problem or found an innovation that is so powerful that it disrupts existing way of doing things and some businesses start because there is huge demand for it and so on and so forth. The ‘Why’ is important –but ‘who’ is also equally important if not more, in my opinion ‘Who’ is more important than ‘why’, basically ‘why’ is extrinsic it depends on lot of vectors which are beyond control and may change with time or situation. But if you have right people on the bus, the right team, then ‘why’ may change or alter or evolve or dissolve but the team makes any ‘why’ you choose possible. Let’s take an example -Apple built PC because of Steve wozniak, it sold and became apple because of Steve jobs but as time changed “why “changed but same team of brilliant apple engineers

Amoeba OS

Amoeba  OS( Organizational Structure) Many Startups, small and midsize companies who have founder as its driving force are battling a problem called organizational Structure (OS) and system within the company. One can never be sure that what is more important? OS and system or founders way of doing things. Both have their own limitations.

Whenever any food particle comes anywhere near amoeba that part of its body becomes its mouth & it engulfs it. By the way Amoeba was the first unicellular organism that performed all lif

Sales, is the Boss. The Boss, is who Sells.

         Sales, is the Boss. The Boss, is who Sells. Many startups especially the technology startups have multiple founders, mostly they are experts in technology or product creation. As we watch the rise and fall of the startups, one thing that eventually is going matter is the sales of your product or service. To be more precise, Money in the account for the exchange of your goods or services. This is inevitable and fundamental fact of any business even for Apple or Google after so many years of pioneering products and services and huge brand equity. Sales the ultimate fact that matters. Elon musk, is Elon musk, only because he has managed every single time to create strong booking and advance paid by customers in large numbers. So for a startup to be successful this single most factor overrules all other parameters of success that you want. Sales, is the Boss.

The magic of mistakes

The Magic of Mistakes As we all know that the entire education system in India has Anti Mistake and Anti failure dominance. Somehow as kids and later on as students of our respective subjects, we are terrified of committing mistakes and confronting their results. Many of us, in fact, almost all of us have stooped learning precisely for that reason to avoid mistakes and the resulting failures. What was the last time we tried learning new word, or a new language or tried new road for some destination we went many years ago. By sheer fear of committing a mistake, we have made us absolutely bordered and inorganic in every sense. We don’t try new food, new type of friends, new type of reading, new type of movies, new type of music and anything that triggers a slight probability of committing mistake.

Ability

Ability is always aquired not inherent. Most of us mistaken ability as talent and let our self escape saying he or she is talented.

Ability is muscle to be developed day in day out it takes focus,consistency and intense liking for excellence. Rest of things will happen which others call luck. Ability is a seed for luck.
