The Office

Last time when I stopped I had the place and I had to turn it into an office..and it took me arnd 15 days to do so..hve been a little slow..but yeah again learnt a quite a bit in these days..specifically abt the hard work ;-)..
Designing, mediating, media, decision making..hmm wht not have I done in these few days..
Just an incident of multitasking..I was sitting with my friend and was working on Board designs and was on Gtalk with two others disussing abt pamphlet content and giving another an update on wht is going on..n nthr frnd calls up n reminds me tht I had to send him some mail..tht looks exciting but..

SO do u need to multitask.. I think its totally depends on you.. if u r quick decision maker,if you have prepare yourself well and believe in yourself u normally wud.
Why I am telling you all this..
Prepare yourself well in the morning abt wht u are going to do in day..( it helps as uncertainity always strikes whn u r certain it wudnt :)

Dnt have an attitude of postponing things..it Costs dearly..

What ever happens dnt stop believing yourself :)

So the office is up with all partitions, furnitures, boards.. pamphlets, visiting card, LH's are in printing..Hmm its coming n I m getting scary..
So Monday is the day I am waiting for the day when the office opens after a small marketing campaign of pamphlets..with boards up on the office..m waiting..

Self empoyment

the work starts now..its fun to be all by yourself and take decisions all by yours..loving it

This is what I have been feeling for sometime now. As Andy told that we hear successful stories of entrepreneurship not the process I will try and elaborate on the process with my limited writing capabilities.
As I write now, my Landlord has delayed the work by 5 days but this happens..

So I stopped my last blog where I was going to find the place and talk to the landlord. Believe me when we go to the ground level the negotiation begins the most useful art to possess. I am not really good at it but I have learnt it after talking to innumerable guys about innumerable thing.
Some points I learnt

1. be clear about what you going to lose from the deal. Sometime it Just could be time but better is to monetize the time.
I did lose a month or more and a great publicity time by a single mistake of mine and some lethargy in April.

2. Know what you want and get it written as mind falters at the wrong times :P

SO keep these basic points in mind before negotiating..and believe me the other person is indefinitely a better negotiator than you when you are starting :-)

Now after gyan I come to the point ;-)

I got the place finally and really now I think April was not a mistake ( when you try and achieve your destiny whole world helps you) so I got a gr8 place at gr8 location and gr8 rent

Now after the place its about the launch which we are preparing ( we because their are so many friends who are helping me and they really are taking their time out from their work fom me.. I am really thankful to all of you guys)SO its all about the office layout, furniture, marketing, finance, operations and any function you can think of in life.
I have learnt so much in these few days.. believe me if an entrepreneur someday comes for a job to you( hope it never happens) Just give him a job. he will really prove to be an asset for your company.

One important thing before you decide to into entrepreneurship.

Make a B Plan specifically a financial plan and than make a 30% addition in time and money as u never know the reality( Am really struggling)

Hope you had a good reading. Please comment if you by chance read this and comment so that I can improve..as I really want that some one starting gets a little help from this

I just wanted to share my feelings of how being an enterpreneur feels like...
Hope you all like it :)

Just a brief history
So I am out of Bschool.. and I decided to take entreprenurship instead of taking a job..
Doing a Job would have been a really difficult task for me..this I learnt in arnd 3 years of training in various course I did. I had an experience of doing business. My Father started his own at age of 45 and when I was 15..I do helped him and than I too started of my own after my PG degree..did it for three years and than get into MBA stuff:)

So I was planning to start up through my MBA college..you know its a different feeling to work for only fo yourself..u dont work actually u enjoy working..you dnt think for how many hours you have worked or you dnt feel tht u missed a cricket match:)
During this period there are times where I felt very down ...and my self belief has gone but really always it happened that I got a call frm 1 of my friend and it helped.
I will never ever forget the help (moral and help with ideas) that my fiends have given me even when they are so busy with their lives..

I just plan to carry on this series and go more deeper into practical reality and update it as soon it is possible for me.. and if I can help any aspiring enterpreneur through this..it will be great..

Today I am going to look for 2 places for the office lets see how it goes :)

Just thought to put it on

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
- By Ram Prasad Bismil

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।

करता नहीं क्यों दुसरा कुछ बातचीत,
देखता हूँ मैं जिसे वो चुप तेरी महफिल मैं है ।

रहबर राहे मौहब्बत रह न जाना राह में
लज्जत-ऐ-सेहरा नवर्दी दूरिये-मंजिल में है ।

यों खड़ा मौकतल में कातिल कह रहा है बार-बार
क्या तमन्ना-ए-शहादत भी किसी के दिल में है ।

ऐ शहीदे-मुल्को-मिल्लत मैं तेरे ऊपर निसार
अब तेरी हिम्मत का चर्चा ग़ैर की महफिल में है ।

वक्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ऐ आसमां,
हम अभी से क्या बतायें क्या हमारे दिल में है ।

खींच कर लाई है सब को कत्ल होने की उम्मींद,
आशिकों का जमघट आज कूंचे-ऐ-कातिल में है ।

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।
रहबर - Guide
लज्जत - tasteful
नवर्दी - Battle
मौकतल - Place Where Executions Take Place, Place of Killing
मिल्लत - Nation, faith

is recession over ( Series 1)

On monday stock market makes history. It does what it has never done..within 20 seconds trading day was over..ohh as an investor I am happy my stock is 25% up and next day it does not loose the gains of monday. so it strenthens.

This event needed an analysis both from stock market point of view and fundamental point of view..this thought came into an unstable mindof mine tht just loves finance n Economics to the core..( if i did nt like enterprenurship the way I like it now..i Wud have been somewhere analysing this for earning bread n butter..nyways)and than I thought why n analyse it as a blog..so I decided to put my try to this blogger world( too much of a prologue I think ;-)

So firstly just trying to differ fundamentals and stock market point of view.. Fundamentals includes Corporate results and general Economic envioronment of the country and
Stc. Mkt point of view includes How does stc behaves( what drives market). Some Imp points include
1. Money Flow
2. Investment scenario ( political stability is one of the criterial)
3. FII's Investment
4. Speculative drive ( this.. yeah this made the Asian tigers crash in 1998's)
I have excluded fundamentals here..wait for tomoro for the reason n further analysis..

PS: Its in series so tht u guys dont get bore while reading..actully feeling sleepy ;-)..waise kya koi padhne bhi wala hain isse :P
