So what is lacking ? and what difference do successful people have in them ? let the analysis continue

Yes, you can! Never give up believing in yourself. Whenever you doubt yourself, remember the many inspirational stories below of failure being turned into major success by amazing people we all know and respect. Every one of us can make a big difference if we only choose to believe in ourselves and never give up. Always do remember that once you think you are going to fail, your subconscious just follows your thoughts and if you think positive , yes it works too ..

Please spare sometime for me in reading the below faiures and always do remember that,

whew ……….I shouted,

Yes, I had a great satisfactory launch of my new concern named “MARCH 11″ at S16 labs. So what is March 11 and the name ? Well, I really dont believe in the name psychology or other astrological stuff. I always want any brand to be unique in the name itself as I believe “word of mouth marketing” is the best marketing strategy one can adapt. So when I thought of a new brand consulting firm,the first intuition that came to me was MARCH 11(today ) and thats it ! FINALISED. Moreover I will be working with a new partner named Ramesh (For MARCH 11 alone)  who is none other than an alumnus of S16 Education. Thats the only news I can reveal now and for other stuff on what March 11 can do ? etc… you gotta wait some more time …

It was indeed a proud moment for S16 and myself when i heard that my juniors in V.L.B.Janakiammal College of Engineering & Technology, Kovaipudur, Coimbatore won the FIRST Place in a seminar contest on ” The Success of First Generation Entrepreneurs” conducted by National Entrepreneurship Network, Pune. The reason for my happiness is that the company on which they analysed,spoke and won the first prize  is about me & S16.

I gave a short interview on my business strategies, principles, gave them my Biz card, Brochures and what all i have to explain my company’s credentials. I even shared few of my failures as it would take a long time to explain all and i am now very much satisfied that my work is being appreciated. So with more energy and ideas, my business journey continues …

When the whole world is crying for a recession cure, i got a forwarded email today morning which perfectly explains about recession and how should we look at it. I firmly believe on the fact that “Recession is man made” and nothing else. I am just sharing the story to you all, so that you get a clear picture.

This story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was
smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.

 His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and sold more. He recruited more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father.Then something strange happened.

The son asked, “Dad, aren’t you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?” The father replied, “No, but tell me about it.” The son said,”The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times.”

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his Hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly and so did the profit. The father said to his son, “Son, you were right. We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time.”

Moral of the Story: Its all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think.
