Entrepreneurship: What it takes

The entrepreneur's advice


According to Raghav, if you have a passion for something, follow it. All you need to do is prioritise your ideas and work hard.

Clarity of thinking and a drive to excel is a must; you may have great ideas, but what is elementary to success is the drive to excel. Don't be afraid to make mistakes because you are bound to make them. Mistakes are integral to success.



If one start-up has failed, it doesn't mean you will lose again; it is a great learning experience that one has to go through to emerge successful.



The venture capitalist's tips



According to Sandeep, an entrepreneur must have a passion for what he is doing. The important thing to remember is that he will hit lows during the process that will make him question his decision. Belief in the idea is important though, and your passion will keep you going.



You need to have domain expertise, for which you need not have years of experience. Expertise is relative. If you are specialising in something no one else has done before, you are the expert.



You should be able to build a competitive edge in the business. It could be in technological processes, marketing relationships or solutions you offer customers.



You should be able to build the business and manage its growth -- as the company grows, the number of people will increase.



You should be able to hire the right kind of people and establish a good work culture. You should be able to manage change, retain people and scale with the business. And yes, a handful of luck helps too!

===========================================

Answer:

What your husband says is right. You should remain courageous and encourage your husband to continue his struggle. ‘Food’ is a matter of destiny. Nothing can be said with certainty as to when and how much you will get and by what means Allah (SWT) will make it available. Only Allah (SWT) has the knowledge of all this. Keep working. We do kind deeds for Allah (SWT). We help people in distress to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT). Having a firm faith and belief is also for the sake and will of Allah (SWT). It is a part of the faith to believe in Destiny, that man will get what he is destined to get, as and when Allah (SWT) wants. With perfect belief in Destiny, your husband must seek the advice of some experienced person and stick to a particular business. In business, experience matters a lot. With the advice and suggestions of professional people your husband should be able make headway. Stick to one business. Initially, there are ups and downs, but with the passage of time, business settles down and everything will be all right.

So it becomes very necessary to take utmost care while placing the interiors for your bedroom according to the Vaastu percepts. Some general Vaastu principles relating to the Bedroom are as follows:
1) The master bedroom is the place where the head of the family gets peace and privacy. Thus it is preferred in the Southwest or South since it is considered to be cool place.
2) Avoid constructing the master bedroom in the Northeast direction. Southeast is also not recommended for this room.
3) While placing mirror in your bedroom see to it that no part of your body is directly visible in the mirror while sleeping. Because that part of your body might face health problems e.g. if your head is visible in the mirror while sleeping it may cause migraine or if your legs are visible then you may face problem such as joints pain, etc.
4) Always keep your feet away from the main door, while sleeping it should not face the main door.
5) Place the bed in the Southwest of the room but it should not obstruct the door of the room.
6) Do not sleep keeping your head towards the north.
7) Avoid having bedroom near the drawing room.
8) Always keep room well-maintained, along with some scenery. Keep it well-lit and pleasant looking.
9) Always sleep with your head towards south.
10) See that the bed never touches the wall.
