Imagine that you are a blogger and one fine morning you wake up and find that one of your most popular blog posts isn’t showing its images. You search for the images in your server, your hard disk … but you can’t find the images there! And as the images are related to the content of the blog post, you can’t replace those with new images either. What would you do?
Though I am using and teaching Social Media for years, but I must admit that I was not a big fan of analytics. But trust me that was due to my immaturity. For quite some time I started understanding that it’s absolutely essential to analyze the performance of our online content to make it more effective and get best ROI. Though I made it a habit to start checking Google Analytics and Facebook Page Insights, but I ignored Twitter Analytics until now (and that was real foolish step from me as I have 10,000+ followers on Twitter).
I guess you know how much I love movies! While most people watch movies for Entertainment and others think that movies are waste of time, I watch movies to learn life lessons too. Infact I’ve learned many valuable lessons from different movies I watched. Wish I could share all those lessons with you (may be I will someday). But today let me share lessons from 3 South Indian movies I watched recently – Kick, Nayak and Mirchi. Keep reading, I am sure you’d love it.
Why most people are afraid to dream big? Because they are scared – ‘what if I dream big but fail to achieve that?’. Why most people are settling for a life less than what they deserve? Because they are afraid to encounter the inevitable failures that actually are the stepping-stones towards their best lives – their success. Let me introduce a person to you today, who’ll not only inspire you to dream big, but also will give you the courage to handle failure with a smile. Sandeep Kedia – the guy who started as an Entrepreneur at the tender age of 17, inspired millions (including me), touched pinnacle of success; but most importantly he handled failure with equal grace. I met this guy more than 5 years back. We worked in the same mission. I learned a lot from him. I don’t know exactly when he became a great friend of mine. Long wanted to share his story. Luckily he agreed to share his experience with you today. So let me just hand over it to him.
Life teaches us lessons every moment, isn’t it? If we are willing, we can learn from anyone and anything – from nature, the books we read, movies we watch, people we encounter, experiences we face. Though I believe that everyone learns best from their own experiences, but if we take some time to share what we are learning, it might make someone else’s journey a bit easier. That’s what I do, that’s what my purpose is. And in this post I’ve compiled different lessons of life, business and social media I’ve learned in my journey. Instead of writing only long paragraphs on the lessons, I’m sharing these lessons as inspiring photo quotes. Keep it on your phone or computer, pin it, share it, send it to someone who is in need of that particular lesson right now.
How can I not write about this crazy man with white long beard, when the motto of my blog is ‘live your best life’? Who else can inspire us better than Rabindranath Tagore, to live our best lives? I listen to Rabindrasangeet sometimes, honestly not much. I read many of his writings, but honestly not all. I can’t claim myself a Rabindranath expert, but the little I got to know about this person in my life, the philosophy of life I got to read in his writings or listen in his songs, literally gave me the courage to follow my heart and live my best life. Forgive me for saying this, but right here in West Bengal, where he was born,most people are very passionate & proud about discussing his work, but very few actually follow his philosophies to improve their lives. My purpose of writing this post is to remind you about those philosophies, that can really transform your life.
Today’s post is very very special for me. You must have noticed that I always repeat the statement “Live your best life. Live your best life.” But what is ‘best life’? Well definition of best life is very different for different persons. But it can be generalized as ‘living upto your highest potentials, enjoying life at its best at every parameters, making a difference to the world’. So far, I’ve got the best definition as: “Living your best life means being a Rajarshi. Rajarshi = Raja (King) + Rishi (Saint). Your best life is when you will have wealth, name, fame – all external forms of abundance like a king, and also kindness, humility, giving heart, spirituality – all inner gifts of a saint.” And you know this definition changed my entire life. How? Keep reading. Read more
Some of you might prefer job, some of you might prefer business. But I am sure there are many of you who are confused between the two. I mean, you might not want to work for someone else for a fixed salary, but you don’t like the hassles of starting a business either. Raising/ investing the startup capital, then setting up office, registering your own company (optional though), hiring right people, then managing those people etc etc are not the things you want in your daily life. Trust me, when I say that there are many people who want to take the Entrepreneurial path, that means doing something by their own, but when they see the lives of most Entrepreneurs, they prefer to stay in their jobs. I’m in no way judging any of the professions. Purpose of this post is to let people know that starting a business now-a-days is not what it used to be. Anyone can start their own business from home, with no experience and very little investment (just a computer and internet connections may be). Also Home Based Business (HBB) is much easier to maintain than any traditional business. Let me tell you all the reasons to start your Home Based Business.
