Publisher: StoryMirror Infotech Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 9392661363

Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
About Book: While growing up, the author's ambitions gravitated towards entrepreneurship. This interest led to early exposure to reading; she was drawn to inspiring entrepreneurial stories. Since childhood, she wrote poems in her leisure time but never thought she would one day become a writer. But she always believed: “Hard work, knowledge, and perseverance towards your goal will make you achieve your dreams.” At the initial stage of writing this book, she had only one thought in her mind, i.e. after reading this book, at least one person must get inspired and achieve their goal by overcoming the setbacks in their lives. Everyone will face many problems and failures in their lives, but the beauty of life lies in how we overcome those problems. When you encounter any problem, instead of asking 'why me?' just say 'try me!' If you're courageous enough to face anything in your life and work hard for your dreams, then definitely you will reach greater heights in your life. I ensure this book will make you understand all these things. “Everyone, once question yourself, if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.” About the Author: Sai Darshini Nannapuraju was born on December 10th, 1999, in Karimnagar, Telangana, India. She was brought up in Bhatraju’s orthodox joint family. She pursued her Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science. She is currently working on a project aimed at increasing the ppm in printing machines. She has worked on various projects like “Smart Vehicle”, “Analysis and prediction of industrial accidents using machine learning,” and received panegyrics from pedagogues. Since childhood, she has been a very ambitious girl who always dreamt of achieving her dreams and working passionately towards her goals. She dreamt of becoming an entrepreneur, inspired by her father, who is a forerunner business tycoon. But few life-altering events in her father’s business career made her hold a pen in her hand and write this debut book. From her childhood, her father advised her to set a goal and work hard for it. His words got engraved in the mind of little Sai Darshini and made her more ambitious. These words made her think deep; she started analyzing things and developing an appetency to make others inspired by her writings. She desires to bring the problems faced by the colonized people into the limelight, so she started writing. Her thirst to release the colonized people from the cage of “poverty” never died. Fighting for their life and appeasing their hunger is her primary objective. To bring assertiveness to everyone, she wrote this book.

A 1000 Days Adventure - Entrepreneur Journeys
Author: Manoj Nakra
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 194837272X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Social representation of entrepreneurship is naive. Successful entrepreneurs are visionaries, adept at identifying opportunity, planning, implementing and realizing the opportunity. The reality of business creation is very different. An entrepreneur starts with his skills, vision and commitment. He has self-confidence in a business that doesn’t exist. He believes that he can do it without having done it before. He has to sustain his belief over time, whatever the challenges. And evoke the same belief in customers, suppliers and stakeholders. His focus is implementation. He has setbacks when ideas don’t work. He has to remain upbeat. Perseverance needs courage and conviction amidst uncertainty and often desperation. Entrepreneurs are always grappling with dichotomous ideas; should they trust the path they are on or change direction? Creation of business is a capability that entrepreneurs learn on-the-job. The way entrepreneurs work and think is a significant variable in the creation of a new business. The hypothesis of the book is that entrepreneurship is not only about ‘what’ successful entrepreneurs’ do, ‘who’ they are or ‘whom’ they know, but more importantly about ‘how’ they do it. The entrepreneurial process revealed in the interviews has universal application as a way of entrepreneurship. It expands the potential of entrepreneurship. Methods of working and thinking are free resources accessible to everyone. Therefore, everyone has the potential to be an entrepreneur. Ideas and opportunities emerge from a way of thinking and doing. Implementation is graduation in entrepreneurship. The book is based on a collection of startup journeys of entrepreneurs. The book captures the thoughts and behaviors of a pre-success entrepreneur. There is a difference in how these moments are experienced by entrepreneurs as they occur and read by others ex post facto.
