Less than a minute Lesson-2704 Embrace Unhappiness

  Less than a minute Lesson-2704 Embrace Unhappiness Every day does not need to be a happy day; we also need to face some pain to strengthen our hearts and feed our brains with positivity.

Financial Strength

  Financial Strength A business that is not profitable is essentially operating like a charity, and a business that lacks financial reserves is on the brink of failure. Ultimately, every business is evaluated based on its financial success. Stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders, base their trust in the company on its financial strength. As you embark on this new financial year, take the time to conduct a financial health check of your company. Assess it according to the parameters that are relevant to your industry. If you identify any gaps, delve into the root causes and set your goals accordingly to strengthen your financial position. May this financial year bring you sufficient funds to cover your expenses, additional resources to share with your employees, and a growing reserve for the future. M.L. Narendra Kumar

    Less than a minute Lesson-2703 Opportunities When we miss the bus, it doesn’t mean our journey has come to an end; it simply means we may need to defer our plans or reschedule.

Love what you do

  Love what you do When you love what you do, you will accomplish more than you ever thought possible.   When you love what you do, you will find joy in your work.   When you love what you do, you will wake up each day with a sense of purpose.   When you love what you do, you will be determined to finish what you set out to complete.   When you love what you do, you will approach it with passion.   When you love what you do, you will continually seek to improve your skills.   When you love what you do, you will rarely complain about it.   When you love what you do, you will never wish for the day to end.   When you love what you do, you will truly live for it.   Love is not just about relationships; it is also about how much you love yourself and your passions. Fall in love with what you do again, and discover the lover within you. M.L.Narendra Kumar    

Selling to enabling Purchase -A change in approach in sales

  Selling to enabling Purchase -A change in approach in sales A salesperson becomes more productive not just by making sales but by building trust and relationships with customers. Customers prefer to work with salespeople who genuinely want to help them make informed purchases, solve problems, address issues, narrow down options, and demonstrate the value of their spending. When we approach our work with a mindset focused on selling, we tend to become less customer-centric and more target-oriented. If customers perceive that they are merely being used to achieve our sales targets, their resistance to buying increases, and they may develop an aversion to interacting with the salesperson. It's important to remember that our body language communicates more than our words; while we may sound polite, our nonverbal cues can reveal our true intentions. To avoid these situations, we should always adopt an attitude of service rather than selling, a mindset of solving problems rather ...

Fake Vs Real

  Fake Vs Real The biggest challenge we will face in the future is distinguishing between what is real and what is fake. AI has penetrated nearly every field, particularly in the realms of image and video processing. In the hands of an ethical person, these tools can add value to our work; however, in the hands of an unethical person, they can ruin the life of someone whose images may be misused. We need to develop the skills to differentiate between real and fake content. Some websites can help us determine whether content is AI-generated, so it is essential to be aware of these tools and learn how to use them effectively. We must be mindful of what we share, believe, and accept in what we see, read, or hear. These AI tools can significantly influence our decisions, and some of these choices can have adverse effects on our lives and the lives of others. M.L. Narendra Kumar

Stop glorifying the past and start living in the present

  Stop glorifying the past and start living in the present. Many so-called developed and developing nations often boast about their history and glory. However, the reality is that many countries in these categories are trapped in significant debt. If their past was so glorious, as they claim to be civilised and culturally rich, then why have they fallen into this debt? The reasons can vary, including invasions, population growth, and infrastructure development. We can learn from the past and adopt some good practices, but we should not become permanent citizens of the past, sedated by past glory.   Nevertheless, the more we glorify the past, the more horrific our present becomes and the darker our future looks. Whether it's about life or a nation, we need to focus on how to progress rather than dwelling on the past glories. The world belongs to forward-thinking nations. Let us not be carried away by the achievements of our ancestors or the past glory of our nations; inst...

Retain, Enhance and Acquire

  Retain, Enhance and Acquire While sales forecasting is essential, we need to focus on the following key areas: 1. Retention of business 2. Enhancing business from existing customers 3. Acquiring new business These three aspects are not just about numbers; they require specific activities. Although we may set a numerical target, achieving that number depends on our ability to perform relevant tasks. Retention is achieved by strengthening ongoing relationships, ensuring prompt delivery, effectively resolving issues, and adding value to our offerings. Enhancing: This involves identifying additional needs and positioning ourselves as solution providers rather than just suppliers of services or products. When customers perceive our selflessness in approach, their trust increases, and they may be more willing to place additional orders with us. Acquiring: While acquiring new customers can be costly, we can leverage our existing satisfied customers for referrals. These r...

Nurturing Vs Pampering

  Nurturing Vs Pampering A young man from the city visited a village for the weekend and struck up a conversation with a farmer. He showed the farmer a photo of his terrace crops and said, "My crops are not growing; they look dull and aren’t yielding much." The farmer asked him how he was taking care of the crops. The young man explained, "I nurture them very well. I water them as much as possible and keep adding manure; in fact, I spend a considerable amount of time with my crops. With a smile, the farmer replied, "There’s a difference between nurturing and pampering. The crops need to be nurtured, but they should also grow in harmony with the natural environment. When we overwater them, it becomes heavy for the crops to thrive. Adding too much manure makes the soil too wet, making it difficult for the roots to penetrate. The young man thanked the farmer, took his advice seriously, and began to implement the changes. As a result, he enjoyed a yield that met h...
