What a great month this has been ! Lot of good news, pleasant surprises, good outings, movies and more fun. At the same time, I experienced some night watchman jobs in my labs by working on few tough projects.  I also want to tell an important information that previously I had written that we are planning to launch our web designing school website on July 16th but its very  unfortunate that I couldnt meet the deadline. The reason is obvious. More clients pouring in …but I know this is not the reason for an Entrepreneur. I always have the name that I am thick and fast in client’s project but a snail when it comes to my own brand. Why is that so ? The reason is passion. Passion towards clients and their business. That doesnt mean that I am not passionate on my brand. I beleive that when my client gets good business, I am sure to get it from them.

I have also lost some good projects since my company is not having an online presence and yes..for the past 3 years. 3 years…Oh..my GOD.

I have also faced some embarassing situation when someone asks my company url in a meeting or in a discussion and I have never feared to skip away by saying the “old designer’s foolish statement” - “Our website is under maintenance and we are working on new look and feel” and escape from the scene.

I dont know whether all the designers in the same field experience the same problem. But I can assure that I am the laziest of all as such. So what shall I promise now ? What commitment shall I give or I think it is better If I make a public promise ? A promise beyond imagination ? yes, Thats a good idea.

I promise : To Launch  both S16 tech and S16 school website on S16’s third anniversary which falls on August 18th,2009.

Its a different kinda of feeling when people admire you, people pat on your back, people appreciate you, people ask you doubts with the belief that they will get the solution but, what it takes to get all those appreciation? , accolades, media glaze , claps etc. This question would hit my mind whenever I go to bed and especially when I recollect all the good times I had. But nothing could I found. Some say I was appreciated becoz of my hard work, some would say that I had talent, some would say that I speak well but I would never get convinced with their answers. Time went on and  today, minutes back, something hit my mind again, the very same question.what it takes to get all those appreciation? and without hesitation my mind punched me an answer which I was convinced, yes, again

what it takes to get all those appreciation?
FAILURES

FAILURES have groomed me into a tough business man

FAILURES have kindled my sub-conscious to sweat it out

FAILURES have driven me crazy to prove something…something crazy enough.

FAILURES has given me an opportunity to learn people and their attitude.

FAILURES has given me loneliness.  In which I utilised  time  to experiment myself to know whom I am and what I am capable of….

Finally Failures is going to gimme success.

Why I am writing this ?

Because, In the past 3 or 4 weeks, I had a chance several young entrepreneurs with fire blazing in their eyes, overflowing enthusiasm and great spirits and I would just like to inform them that,

Mates,

Everyone of you will and should undergo the so called “ENTREPRENEUR’S CURSE” in the early stage of business so that you will be fine tuned into a pakka business man. Do not get afraid of failures, do not get demotivated when somebody lets you down, just understand that the world is a very good place where you always have one more chance to prove till you die. Good luck

Friend’s sister’s marriage, family functions , few worthy orders marked the end of May and I am still wondering where I am heading and what did I do for the past 30 days or so ? However hard I recollect, I couldn’t figure out anything  new or productive which I am supposed to do in May. How dumb of me to have left a month just like that infront of my eyes ? But yes, I enjoyed a lot in May when compared to the rest of the months. Is that a compromise or a lame excuse ?

Well, I dont know, but I am much more relaxed now and I can feel a sigh of relief in my sub-conscious after the unwarranted business break I took in May. So whats the plan for June ? Many!  S16 School’s website is almost complete and we are planning to launch it on June 14. S16’s official website should be launched on July 16.  I know that the coming days would be more challenging, more competitive and I just reassured today in my labs that all my plans are on track.  I also had a quick meeting with my offshore team to finalise our plans for June. And by God’s Grace… June should bring us a Boom.

After the successful launch of March 11 marketing and brand consulting, we maintained the tempo and launched our S16 web and graphic designing school and now we are working on the launch of our new school website.So when it will end ? I have been trying to maintain the speed of my hectic work schedule but somehow or other it keeps dragging.Bad news . I find little time to blog, just spending less than an hour a day with family and friends, lost control on my diet , down with severe back pain, receiving continuous warnings from my friends and well wishers to take care of my health, very rarely watching television,been weeks since I went for a movie,fingers itching due to continous typing and I am just 25 …so actually what am I doing ? Is this the life I wished ? all these thoughts just ran o’er my mind few minutes back and I was almost down on my seat.

Then,

My Subconscious came to my rescue.

It shouted “Listen Vijay, you are on a mission and creating a brand single handedly is no joke.It happens for everyone at one stage or the other and just go on …you have miles to go and taking a deep breath here is of no use. Move on, recharge yourself and march ahead.You are no ordinary guy and I know your potential.I am with you. What else you need ? “

Thats it, here I am again sharing my thoughts back to blogging. I believe in my subconscious and I feel that is more than enough to guide me. So from tomorrow I have decided to have a slight change in my life style and lets c how it works. ciao.
