5 Benefits Of Goal Setting To Fulfill Your Entrepreneurial Dream!
5 Benefits Of Goal Setting To Fulfill Your Entrepreneurial Dream!

You cannot improve what you don`t manage, and you can`t manage what you don`t measure. This is why goal-setting is important in life!

Goals are like oxygen! They help us to take forward in life. They give us a purpose to get up out of bed every morning and give us hope to go to sleep and look forward to the next day. Goal-setting give us the first step to every journey and make our lives meaningful.

Much has been written about goal setting. We all must have come across at least once in our lifetime, where we were taught to define a clear goal in our lives. So in this article, we won`t bore you with yet another manual on how to set goals.

However, we will tell you the importance of goals in life and how they can help you to achieve a whole new perspective towards your life. We all know that setting a defined and clear goal helps to build self-confidence. It helps to increase productivity. But, are you aware of the science behind it that why setting a goal helps us to focus?

Most people only follow the philosophical theory of goal setting without understanding the science behind it. The beauty of knowing ‘why’ something works can be beneficial in two ways:

a). it makes you more willing to embrace it.

b). it makes you more informed, which makes you more receptive and enables you to make decisions.

For instance, we all can surely think about a company policy, business ideas or a meeting memo that could have been more effective had you known more details regarding it to make better, informed decisions. Watch video on Goal Setting and Importance of Goals in life here:

Here are five ultimate benefits of goal-setting that will help you gain focus and achieve your dreams:

  1. Goals act as Catalyst

Goal setting is the ultimate motivator, and that`s why it is important. Having a clear, compelling goal fuels the passion to acquire that goal, and mobilizes your focus toward actionable behavior.

Many people confuse the concept of having a clear and main goal. For instance, Vishal has the goal of saving money to purchase a new car. But he does not have a clear idea, which type of car he wants to purchase. Then this is not a clear goal.

If Vishal says that he wants to save 6 lac by the end of the year to purchase, let`s assume a swift desire, then now he has a mental cue that will stimulate his focus and motivates him to start saving funds.

  1. Goals Improve Focus

The importance of goals in life is such that when you decide on an aim, you naturally direct all your attention and focus towards the next step. It gives you a sense of the right direction to your life, which forces your action, and your behavior to follow it.

Not many people believe it, but it`s true that whatever the mind believes, the body achieves. You can listen to many motivational videos that teach you the best way to set goals and meet them.

  1. Goals sustain Momentum

Seeing progress does not matter how little, is addicting. No kidding, it is. If you are wondering why then let us throw some light! Once you have achieved something and your progress is visible, your brain releases a hormone called dopamine that creates a sense of achievement.

Just as a snowball grows in size as it rolls down the hill, momentum works the same way. So, if you have business ideas on which you are working with a fixed goal. Whatever you are doing to achieve that goal, once you gain momentum, you will never want to stop because you achieve a flow, which is the optimal state of mental performance.

  1. Goal setting aligns focus with behavior

When you receive constant feedback on your progress, setting goals helps you align focus with behavior. The choices you make, the actions you take- or avoid- give an insight into your beliefs, challenges, values, strengths, and weaknesses which allow you to take necessary steps to correct, and reset your goal achievement strategy. This gives you a clear agenda about how to meet your goals by selecting the best course of action.

  1. Goals Build Character

One of the major reasons why there is so much importance of goals in life is because they build character. When you achieve a goal, it enables you with a sense of achievement that ultimately boosts confidence and helps you build character.

The entire process of goal setting is essential because it helps to unearth and identify what is truly important to you. Whether it is professional or personal goals, to learn more about setting goals, you can either watch the video or take the help of the best corporate trainers in India.

Pursuing your goals is the real money-maker because it builds self-efficacy. It transforms your personality into someone who can achieve goals.

And like we said in the beginning, it is tough to manage what you don`t measure, and you can`t improve what you can`t manage. So start with goal-setting, today!

You can invite one of the best corporate trainers in India- Dr. Vivek Bindra to motivate your employees and give them a strong purpose to show up to work every day. If you are an entrepreneur and lack motivation due to business challenges, you can take our Entrepreneurship courses that will help you create a breakthrough from your burning problems.

3 Interesting Personality Traits Of Motivational Speakers That Make Them Popular!

3 Interesting Personality Traits Of Motivational Speakers That Make Them Popular!
3 Interesting Personality Traits Of Motivational Speakers That Make Them Popular!

Whether you are seeking an easy way to boost the confidence in students, or a new direction for your business, chasing new company goals, trying to keep the morale of your employees sky-high, or trying to keep them motivated as they are struggling during the pandemic, one thing that you must consider is to bring in an inspiring coach, a mentor or a motivational speaker.

Most people in India consider these inspirational coaches as nothing more than cheerleaders, who are looking to pump the company`s morale which is on the verge of extinction with their speeches. However, a good motivational coach for entrepreneurs or a student is much more than that.

Motivational speakers tend to have distinct personalities. They are artistic, creative, sensitive, expressive, and articulate. An inspiring coach or trainer comes with diverse expertise and knowledge. There are three key different areas:

a). Personal Development- Whenever someone says ‘Motivational Speaker’, this is the first thought that strikes everyone.  A personal development trainer or coach helps to inspire people and find a deeper meaning in life. They throw lights on undiscovered aspects of an individual`s life and give talks on overcoming challenges in personal as well as professional lives.

b). Business Coach– These types of coaches are generally hired by corporates to guide business teams at various levels. From top-level executives to low-level employees, a business mentor, usually share their experience of the corporate world and their journeys of success and failure. These types of coaches help to harness enthusiasm, encouragement, determination, hope and help teams to develop a common purpose to improve their work.

c). Youth Mentor- Not only adults but students and kids these days feel the brunt of unhealthy competition from their peers. The goal of a motivational speaker for students is to give kids a sense of direction in their growing years. These mentors instill a sense of confidence in students to lead a healthy life and find their true calling to select a career path.

These inspiring mentors around the world are renowned for their passion and dedication to their craft. They excel in it after years of experience that they gain from their journey. And, that gives them the ability to inspire audiences.

But how do they do it? Through their personal stories and engaging presenting style that help the audience to connect with them.

So what makes these inspirational coaches so popular and inspiring in India? Let`s find out!

  1. Personal Experiences

A motivational coach for students or entrepreneurs these speakers are defined by their personal stories, unlike the keynote speakers who are known for their industry knowledge. They are required to be both- a subject matter expert as well as and an inspiring leader who uplifts the audience and shakes them out of their gray areas.

Though there is no dearth of good speakers and coaches in our country, the best motivational speaker in India like Dr. Vivek Bindra can inspire anyone to live life to its fullest. During his seminars and conferences, he frequently shares his personal experiences and journey which is filled with determination, drive, and self-belief.

As a motivational coach, he inspires his audiences to come out of their comfort zones and follow their dreams of entrepreneurship. His stories and presenting style take guests on an incredible journey of hardship to success. He makes his guests realize that they are capable to achieve anything if they truly want to. His ideology is to leave his guests with one phrase, “I can. I will. Bounce Back”.

  1. A World of Whole New Perspective

Everyone has their own opinion and perspective about life, work, relationships, challenges, and solutions. However, sometimes our mindset becomes a roadblock in our success and goals.

When business owner`s employees are stuck in their work, it is common for them to reach out to the best motivational speakers in India. Life`s monotonous routine can get to people, and an inspiring coach can bring about their unique perception towards a life with their thoughts, a more positive approach, and a solution-driven mindset.

They can inspire you and make you believe in your dream. They can give you a healthy and positive outlook towards life and help you assist in appreciating your own.

However, it is important to choose your speaker carefully. If you have a bunch of students who are feeling discouraged due to peer pressure and other external factors, you must choose the best motivational speaker in India for students.

  1. Sky-High Self-Confidence

An inspiring coach may be a great storyteller, but if their presenting style is not as interesting and engaging, they will fail to make an impact on their audience. Confidence and self-confidence are two traits that are present in every motivational speaker. This not only makes up the foundation of their presenting style but also gives them the confidence to incorporate humor and wit into their speeches. This ensures that the audience gets inspired and entertained at the same time.

Dedication is a key trait of these mentors. Their passion for influencing others to achieve their dreams in the real world is very commendable. Motivational speakers like Dr. Vivek Bindra do not present for monetary games or fame. He attends events and seminars with one aim in his mind- to inspire people!

If you want to infuse a breath of powerful energy in your students or employees, Dr. Vivek Bindra is one of the best motivational speakers in India. He not only provides training but also offers specialized Problem-Solving Courses for those who are stuck with challenges in their business.

5 Ways To Deal With A Difficult Boss!

5 Ways To Deal With A Difficult Boss!
5 Ways To Deal With A Difficult Boss!

You have finally found the job of your dreams, you are doing the work that you love, you like your co-workers, and everything is going great, until, your boss enters the scene, who is the ultimate micromanager with a fault-finding attitude, who despite your best efforts is not letting your works, in peace.

We have heard it time and again. People don’t leave a company- they leave a boss. According to a study published in Forbes, “50% of employees left their job just to get away from their manager to improve their personal as well as professional growth at some point in their career.

Yep, that`s right! Fifty percent!

But what if you are not ready to leave your or job yet? Should you continue to suffer in silence?

According to Dr. Vivek Bindra, who is one of the best motivational speakers in India, if you can connect with your boss on some level, it will become easier to convey your message and convince them. You can watch him sharing his insights here:


So don`t stress out! There are plenty of ways to manage a difficult boss and with a little patience and smartness, you can tread carefully:

  1. Assess the Situation

Is your boss guilty of bad workplace behavior in general, or does their attitude is negative only towards you? Be honest with yourself while analyzing the situation. Sometimes there is a disconnection with the bosses at various levels such as approach towards jobs at hand, a difference of opinion, ideation, conceptualization, and execution.

Brooding over a negative situation will only cause more anxiety and worry. Talk to your boss and have an open dialogue to address the situation. Ignoring it will only exacerbate the workplace situation. Sometimes a little motivation might also help. You can attend sessions by a business motivational coach as well to gain as new perspective.

  1. Practice Empathy

Sometimes we have to think from our boss`s perspective to truly understand the situation. Well, now if you are working in an organization of 500 employees, it becomes a little difficult to do that. However, contemplate what your manager or boss may be dealing with- either personally or professionally. The reason behind his difficult attitude could be the ongoing situation that could be the reason behind it.

Are they constantly stressed about tight deadlines? Do they have a difficult boss themselves? Try to have a friendly conversation with them and put yourself in their shoes. It will help you to understand their perspective. You will become more sympathetic about their behavior and circumstances.

  1. Vent out your frustrations

Dealing with a far-from-perfect boss daily can wear you down. While bottling up all your emotions can be harmful to your mental health, venting to your colleagues might backfire on you. Open up and share your feeling with a close friend or a family member, as sharing your issues can alleviate some of that stress. Not only will it help you to get things off your chest, but also you might gain a different perspective about the situation. Ask someone whose opinion you respect.

  1. Practice Self-Control

Self-control is the key that opens a lot of doors for new opportunities. It enables both leaders and direct reports to process your strong emotions productively. It helps to gain a neutral mindset as it is necessary to co-exist with your difficult boss because reacting weakens you.

By efficiently managing our feelings, we can achieve a calm and powerful presence. This helps us create successful outcomes. You can also learn how to keep yourself motivated by watching videos from the best motivational speaker in India– Dr. Vivek Bindra.

  1. Don`t Burn the Bridges

The world is round. You never know whom you might meet and need this person as a reference because many prospective employers of the organization ask specifically for the contact details of direct managers and supervisors.

If you will be unable to provide the contact details, it will give out a negative impression and you will be required to give an awkward explanation.

As difficult as it might be, always ensure that you leave your current organization by following the official process. Do not allow the dynamics to compromise with your professional reputation.

This should be your last resort. Sometimes, despite making efforts, the possibility of improving dynamics with your boss just doesn`t get better. Other times, it is just not worth staying in an organization, if you feel miserable. It will not only affect your mental health but also hamper your professional growth. Not to mention the stress it adds to your day-to-day work life.

Ultimately, only you know how to handle your situation, as you are the only one who knows it best. Listen to yourself before taking any decision. If you decide to move on, do not hesitate! Your ideal job is out there- the job that not only comes with lots of opportunities but also with fulfilling work and a supportive boss.

You can also listen to one of the best motivational speakers in India to explore ways to tackle the stressful situation at work.

#IamOxygenMan: How To Be The Real HERO In Your Life?

#IamOxygenMan: How to be the Real HERO in your Life- BadaBusiness
#IamOxygenMan: How to be the Real HERO in your Life?

Last month has been incredibly challenging. One of our team members, Nishant, lost his father to coronavirus. His father was a doctor, who was dedicatedly treating and attending to COVID-19 patients to ensure that they return to their families after winning the battle against this deadly disease.

Doctors in India are considered no less than a God, and Nishant`s father was no exception. However, the gravity of the crumbling healthcare system stuck all of us, when his father who worked devotedly to treat the COVID-19 patients in the hospital, day in day out, was left grappling for his last breaths due to the shortage of oxygen beds and the ambulance was not available.

A doctor, who was ensuring the health of patients, lost his life because of a lack of medical emergencies.

The incident was heart-wrenching. The stats and figures themselves were horrifying. Around 23 crores of new COVID cases and around 2.5 lacs deaths have been reported in India. In Delhi, alone 12.9 Lacs covid cases were registered, and around 18,739 deaths were reported in the past few days.

It compelled me to think about the condition of patients who were turned away by the hospitals, and lost their lives due to lack of medical treatment on time. While in government hospitals, there is a shortage of beds; in private hospitals, the treatment is quite expensive. Not to mention the shortage of oxygen supply that has brought the nation to its knees.

Finding hope in the darkness is not easy. With so many personal losses, the world loses its meaning. However, I could have either just sit helplessly, blaming the government and be a mere spectator or step up and do something to help save lives.

I chose the latter one and have taken an initiative with ISKCON to come forward to help and support our people, and country in this crisis. Within 4 days, with the help of my Bada Business team and ISKCON, we have set up a free Covid care Center facility in Dwarka. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the commendable work done by my BB team and ISKCON, who immediately sprang into action.

This free COVID Care facility in Dwarka is equipped with 200 oxygen beds, 10 doctors, 20 nurses, 30 paramedics, along 40 volunteers from our organization. We are also providing nutritious meals to every patient for a speedy recovery, and everyone who is working tirelessly to ensure their comfort and well-being.

 

To continue the services of our free Covid Care facility for the next six months, we will require funds. And to ensure that every COVID patient receives the best of the medical care and facility, we are organizing a Fundraising Event- I Am Oxygen Man on the 16th of May, from 04:00 PM onwards.

This event will witness the presence of many renowned and popular celebrities like Kailash Kher, Sonu Nigam, Daler Mehendi, Shankar Mahadevan, Mika Singh, Sunil Grover, Boman Irani, Sanjeev Kapoor, Shaan, Ritesh Agarwal, Raju Shrivastav, Acharya Balkrishnan, Hema Malini and many more.

#IamOxygenMan
#IamOxygenMan

#IamOxygenMan- Our Objective

‘I Am Oxygen Man’ may give you an idea behind our event. But, it is not just limited to that. We want to encourage people to come together and generously lend their helping hand to help those who are suffering in this crisis.

Anyone who lends a helping hand towards anybody who needs help is ‘Oxygen Man’. Gone are the days when heroes like Shaktiman, Superman, Ironman, and Batman were considered to heroes. Where these heroes are fictitious; ‘Oxygen Man’ is a real-life hero that resides in each one of us.

Our aim behind the event #IamOxygenMan is clear. We want to raise INR 5 crore to fund the free COVID care center facility. The event will be broadcasted LIVE on Facebook and YouTube.

We need your support and contribution. Together, we are unstoppable in the fight against COVID-19.

The #IamOxygenMan is not just an event, it`s a movement! It gives us all a chance to unite and make a difference in someone`s life with our generosity.

Join us in our movement to save lives. Every donation to this fund will help us save a life.

Your support means the world to us!

This Karnataka Teacher is Making Mathematics exciting for students with his Math Lab!

The mere mention of mathematics can make students run a mile without looking back. No wonder most Edu-tech startups are trying to find creative ways to make this subject interesting and more engaging for the students.

While children in metropolitan cities and urban areas have access to the benefit of various digital platforms, students who reside in rural areas and hinterland India have no such facilities. However, thanks to teachers like Yakub S Koyyur, now they too can get easy access to quality education more excitingly.

Yakub S Koyyur is the genius behind the Maths lab that he has set up in the Government High School, Nada in Belathangdy, located in Dakshina Kannada.

Yakub was born in Koyyur village in the Dakshin Kannada district of Karnataka. Among his two sisters and five brothers, he was the only one who got the opportunity to pursue high school. After completing his Bachelors in Science from SDM College in the district, Yakub began teaching children at the local Government High School for about two years.

During his course of teaching, he realized his love for teaching and he decided to pursue his Bachelor`s in Education from Mangalore University with a second rank.

Yakub began his official teaching journey in 1996 at the Government High School in Nada village of the same district. Till now, he has taught over 4000 students by developing special content for not-so-good students. He also gives training to new teachers.

So from where did he get the idea of establishing an award-winning math lab? Yakub shares that in 2012, he realized that he wants to do something innovative and different that will improve the current education system.

He furthers shares that one night he dreamt of a room in his school. There was a board hanging outside that read “Math Lab”. The walls inside were colorful and were full of interesting and inspirational quotes. The walls were painted in vibrant shades, creating an all-dreamy experience for him.

The next morning, he decided to turn that dream into a reality. However, the journey was not so easy. While his peers and colleagues appreciated the thought, they were not ready to join in due to the financial constraint.

Yakub took to Facebook and Whatsapp, where he created groups to connect with his former students. He shared the idea with them and also mentioned his major financial constraints since it was a government school.

Soon, the help from his students started pouring in. Within a day, a total of INR 3.5 lakh was collected with old students transferring various amounts from all over. With moral support from his family members and monetary help from his former students, Yakub built the math lab in an unused room in the school and named it ‘Maths World’.

The lab has a 52-inch SmartTV screen where he showcases his YouTube channel where there are more than 400 math-related topics. The math lab also has a smart-board, created especially by a company called EyeRIS. The smart-board helps students learn and practice math problems easily.

Apart from the smartboard, there are various math models too, which students can touch and feel to get a better understanding of the concepts.

Yakub was conferred with the Best District teacher Award in 2016, Best State Teacher Award in 2018, and finally the National Teacher Award in 2020. He was one of the other 47 teachers who were recognized for their contribution to education in the country.

Top 3 Ways for Entrepreneurs to Pitch an Idea to Investors with Total Confidence

pitch
बॉस से खुद को करें कनेक्ट

Pitching your idea to your potential investor seems incredibly nerve-wracking. It is like the feeling of giving a presentation in front of the entire class. The only difference between the two is that the former one is more challenging!

Do you wonder if your potential investor is interested enough? Will they like your idea? And most of all you wonder if this potential investor is going to fund your project or not?

According to the INC.com report, 42% of the startups fail due to lack of initial cash funding along with other reasons like legal challenges, poor marketing, lack of innovation, or disharmony within the team.

Then how can you ensure that you get investors for your startup business? By not doing mistakes that most of the entrepreneurs commit unknowingly and end up shutting down their business. Also, they practiced the best ways to approach their investors.

Here are top tips for pitching your great ideas or products to investors:

  1. Nail your Elevator Pitch

Your elevator pitch is a teaser of your startup business idea. These 30 seconds of elevator pitch should explain everything that someone would need to know when they meet you for the first time.

Your elevator speech should tell your investors everything if they have no background knowledge about your startup.

It should be crisp, direct, and clear. And simply describe your product or idea. It should cover the 3W`s- ‘What you do,’ ‘What problem you solve,’ and ‘Why you are different?’

After your pitch, make sure to connect with the person listening. Ask them questions and resolve their queries.

  1. Research about your Potential Investors

If you come prepared, the battle is half won! So before doing your pitch, do some research on who you will be presenting to.

You can search for the list of Angel Investors network that focuses on your region. Some of the investors may be a popular figure. So you can research well about them online. Study about their patterns, as some investors like to be involved in the company they are investing in. Others would rather be hands-off and would rather like to receive quarterly reports on profitability.

  1. Talk on Facts & Figures

Provide solid data reports when you are pitching your idea to a potential investor. Investors are always interested in what you have already accomplished. Also, how much profit they will make post-investment in your company.

The value of a startup is often built even before they have made profits. The numbers behind it are often driven by speculation of how good the company could perform shortly.

However, you must also be well-prepared to back up the numbers you provide to your investors. Investors would want to hear the reasoning behind your numbers.

Do not just give a random figure of new customers your company is acquiring every month. Say the exact number because it does not matter if you are attracting 20 or 20,000 customers. Your transparency and honesty are what matters the most!

Always remember that an investor is not just investing money into your company, they are giving it to you. And they are investing because they believe in you.  Hence, give them confidence by providing the real data.

The Most Inspiring Journey of Mary Kom: Born to Beat Adversities!

mary-kom

The world has two types of people- achievers and fighters. But only those who are filled with true passion and determination belong to this category. Mary Kom is both- the real champion of the society.

Mary Kom has not only been an inspiration for women across India but also around the world. She has made the country proud by winning six World Championships and an Olympic bronze.

Mary Kom`s real name is Mangte Chungneijang. She was born in Manipur in 1983. Her parents, Mangte Tonpa Kom and Mangte Akham Kom worked in jhum fields. Coming from a very humble background, Mary had to undergo a lot of hardships and inconveniences and created a name for herself in the world of boxing.

Just like other girls in the village, Mary Kom also worked in fields to help her parents. Along with working in the fields, she also took care of her younger siblings. During her school days, she showed intense interest in athletics along with many other sports like football, and hockey. She took up sports to aid her family with financial support. However, she never showed any interest in boxing.

Mary Kom`s father was a former wrestler player at his young age. But he never wanted his daughters to pursue the same. However, destiny has its plan. It was the success of Dingko Singh that inspired her to become a professional boxer player.

Instead of looking for excuses and blame her financial condition, Mary Kom decided early on that she would build her strength. In 2000, Mary Kom began her boxing training under the coach K. Kosana Meitei in Imphal.

The journey to becoming a professional boxer player was not easy. As Mary`s father was not in the favor of her stepping inside the ring, she had to hide her interest in boxing from her family. Her father shouted at her when a photo of her winning the state boxing championship was printed in the newspaper.

Mary Kom made her first debut at the Women World Boxing Championship at the age of 18. After just one year of starting to learn boxing, she won a silver medal in the 46 kg weight category.  Later on, she won a gold medal at the second Association International de Boxe Amateur (AIBA) World Women`s Senior Boxing Championship that was held at Antalya, Turkey.

Mary Kom, a mother of twin sons, has won six world records. She wasn`t born in an affluent sportsperson’s family, hence did not have the privilege of training with the best at the early stages of her career.

Post her marriage in 2005, Mary Kom became the mother of twin sons in 2007. She took a short break until the birth of her kids, but started training again and achieved success in the following year. Married to Karung Onkholer, Mary Kom won much recognition in her career:

  1. Arjuna Award (Boxing) in 2003
  2. Challenger for Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award in 2007
  3. People of the Year in 2007 as Limca Book of Records
  4. ‘Magnificent Mary’, AIBA in 2008
  5. Reliance Industries & CNN-IBN Real Heroes Award in 2008
  6. Pepsi MTV Youth Icon in 2008
  7. Ambassador of International Boxing Association in Women’s Boxing in 2009
  8. Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award in 2009
