The after "GURU" Effect

Yesterday(13/01/2007) , me and my good friend Alok had been to Mani Ratnam directed movie "Guru". The movie is related to one of the early stage entrepreneurs and very successful industrialist late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani(of Reliance Industries) .
In the movie, there were many key learnings(from a business point of view) , some of which are given below:

1. If a person has the will power , fire in his belly and capability, he can succed and will succeed in any way.For eg. Abhishek Bachchan(who played the lead role) was not a literate and it was only due to his will power and his risk taking abilities that he was able to create a big business empire.
2. Always take feedback from your colleagues. This would help you improve in your day to day life.
3. Always retain and reward the good performers and trusted employees in the company.
4. Make a proper study of your business plan and also your competitors in the market(who are into a similar business)
5. Build good relationships and always keep your customers happy.Business is nothing ,but relation building.
6. Always know the value of time.Do not leave anything for tomorrow.Think as if there is no tomorrow , since 'A stitch in time saves nine'.
7. Very important to have a good supportive life partner[if at all you are married :-)].For eg. Abhishek Bachchan had Aishwarya Rai (as his wife) , who gave full support to him(even in the time of crisis).
8. Last but not the least,"Do not under-estimate your capabilities".There would be lots of people(so called BOZOS in Guy Kawasaki's style) , who would try to pull you down , but you need to keep on moving and moving.....Remember, Success is a journey,not a destination.
