my way of saying "thank you" for being in my life and letting me learn from you most of the times without u knowing abt it!! :)

IBO Road to Success

My entrepreneurship itch took me to www.iachievegroup.com through my very sweet supporting di - Meenal to these wonderful family friends Tarun and Manjari Gupta to open the doors of this wonderful business opportunity. 
I took the opportunity to go through the IBO Road to Success on www.taprootz.com and found the list of audio pieces to help understand the online business and take it to a new level. as i heard these steps, i jotted down a few takeaway and thought it would be a nice perspective to share. 

Step 1:

Simply send business support a mail and they take u through the whole thing very smoothly with Tarun, Manjari and Mandakinee helping you out in every step of the way

Step 2:
1) A close up neat photo will give your business partners a good idea on who u are.
2) A clutter free page will help people focus on the relevant stuff and will enable enhancement of the right material at the right time. Periodic cleanup helps.
3) Taprootz page posts sharing helps in generating leads
4) Adding the website name "www.iachievegroup.com" will help directing people to the website. gives prospect business partners a grt lead and information to take on an understand to the whole business structure.
5) Use Taprootz website with the plethora of information and complete knowledge bank, go there regularly to get to know whats on it and share experience. 


Step 3: 
very well put list of things to do. perfect takeaways. :) 
check on the list of products that u can buy put together by Mandakinee and Manjari to get to ur 100PVs. awesome list. will help to get u started. 

•  Click here to visit Amway Global website.

•  Click on United States on top right to see list of countries we operate in.

•  Click on About Amway to understand our history, vision and core values.

•  Click on Shop to understand our exclusive brands and partner stores.

Step 4: 

this is where the most interesting part comes in.. the 48 page field guide documents gives a moral, physical and mental boast in terms of what attitude u need to have with examples of people who have made it big.

1) have confidence in yourself. thats the key.

2) keep trying new things, plans are made to be implemented, judged and bettered from experience and from talking to other people (with taprootz and iachieve we have that inbuilt as a given)

3) be urself, treat people right, be courteous, be attentive and open and be grateful to what u get and can get from everyone around u

4)  start working with a clear mind and organise your work to get max effect out of it 

5) create a name list of prospects and keep reviewing it periodically to know the effectiveness of your list and new additions

6) approach is very important and needs to be short, timely and effective (samples also given)

7) keep a tab on the people u have spoken to, enrolled, be involved with them to motivate them and look at how they can grow their business, it will result in u growing yours

reading this doc gives u the basics of making your business successful. a comprehensive guide to everything u would need. awesome doc. 

if u need a live example, just follow the way Tarun and Manjari do their business. their every step, of conducting this business is written in this document and its always good to see and comprehend along with reading material. 

added with the other audio bits and CDs open your mind to the various possibilities to take on and move ahead in your business. all u need is an open mind and sometime to go through this page. most important page according to me to put u on the right track. 

Step 5: 

Here comes the part to start building your business, the practical steps to take on... 
1) Build a Smart Business with the Right People – half your work is done. This is important and a very good investment into your future growth in the business.

 2) Identify about 10-12 Best Contacts from your entire sphere of influence

3) Qualification Review of your Contacts by our Business Support Team - use their help, they have a good eye to pick and choose the right people.. :)

4) Arrange a Conference Call with your Prospect to Share the Business Plan - let them do the talking, they are better (for now) to impress people and give them the complete picture of the business and whats in it for everyone. learn from them and someday u can do the same. 

5) Get them on board and keep yourself involved with all they can do to reach their potential in this business. 

Step 6:

know your product line, they are all of great quality and very effective. understand what suits your needs (of course with the support of the team), go take your pick and start working on making your PV points and enabling your connections to make their PV points so that all of u can benefit. 

i learned quite a bit from this, and continue to learn cause of whats put up on the site. hope it helps the others too.. :) 

zindagi......

What choice do u have when life throws you off the path you chose. The only choice is to face it, accept it and move on.. But what do u do in those weak moments when u feel all alone, ur inner self aching.. That knot in your chest!! Familiar feeling?? Hopefully not for long!!
U know there's so much you can do and there nothing U can do to change the situation!! Call it destiny, fate, just not meant to be.. Excuses, reasons and the easy way out!! Blame it on external stuff.. The end to that argument.. The end to that thought!!! Blocking it from eating u inside.. Making u think.. Making u realise how unfair life seems yet again!!
The mind decides but the heart rules!!! Hope the heart decides what the mind know to be able to live throught these weak moments... Hopefully not too many or too frequent!!

Golden years of my life

looking back at the last few years, i am now realising that i can call them the Golden years of my life. personally!! these years have made me realise that its important to understand and realise the power of a strong influence in your life. someone who can hold u, make you laugh, make you cry too sometimes but be there to wipe your tears, make you strong, make you wise, make you live life a little better than the prev day. make you richer, make you healtier, make you eat spice, make you sensible, make you impulsive, make you love more!! :) i have had a nice time going through these 2 years, and don't want to move on from them to see what comes next. there are things i wish for.. wishing that this time would never change, this wouldnt end, this is just the begining of the journey for me but... life and destiny has other plans.. if only it felt as right as the last few yrs.. i dedicate these Golden Years to the reason they are the golden years!! :) thank you and wish there are more of these years!!

Crossword solved!! :)

Had the honor n previledge to hear Mr R Sriram, co founder crosswords at a TiE sceninar called ”my story”. Enlightning n entertaining, thought provoking and honestly inspirational.

A few personal take away!!

- Find an untapped need rather than a under served and served needs
-" wants" are much harder to cater to
- "geography is not history" still like google says!! :)
- lesson 1: simple training skills: take the books off n dust the entire shelf to get an idea abt what books are there
- lesson 2: recommendations used as a substitute for books that were not in stock
- lesson 3: find the right people to fill in skill sets u don't ve!! :)
- lesson 4: waldon (toro) - choose a name that unusual but simple, memorable..
- lesson 5: "dream, passion, belief n action"
- lesson 6: its the ability to ask the right questions can change the outcome of a situation to your favour n make u look at the situation in the right light.

a thing called “Destiny“

Just when things were going smooth!! Destiny plays its cards.. Proves to me n makes me realise that not everything can go as per what I plan..
There's a string attached to this puppet n someone up there is pulling it the way he wants!! I just hope when the time comes, he pulls it in the right direction n I can see it!!

How much sld u believe in stars and what they say!! How much imp do u give that piece of information!! The bigger question is... Can u ignore what u know, specially now that u know it n its shaken your foundation!! Does a 2nd opinion here count.. Can there be a wrong diagnosis and a malpractice possibility!!

Its now hopefully my turn to play with the cards that are dealt... Let's see how this works out!!

So somewhere in my youth or childhood.... I must have done something good

Was seeing Sound of Music yesterday and noticed that the wording of this one song is so much close to what i had written on "whats goes around comes around" .. as an extension to that thought, a special mention to all the good things that happen via this song is because of something that u would have done right at some point in time!! :) 


Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should

So somewhere in my youth or childhood 
I must have done something good


these wordings are soo true and they truly make me believe that what goes around comes around and when it does, u realise the effect and the impact of it.. and if it is love, even better.. why not!! when 2 people find that love for each other when nothing can make them feel otherwise and nothing stronger their love, its truly a beautiful feeling.. :) i love the feeling of love.. its very cute and nice and cosy and beautiful and hence i pray that everyone, is able to experience love in its purest form and hopefully will do good to get that love!! spread good in the world for the love that u can get in return!! 


god speed people  

boundaries of thinking

are v restricted in our understanding and thinking by what v know.. Is knowledge or the lack of knowledge a barrier to expanding ur understanding of the world.. Does the phrase “put urself in someone elses shoes” make any sense then!! The management jargon of empathize with your consumer.. Isn't that also limited to ur understanding of the situation..
what got me thinking on this was the fact that my projection or opinion of a situation on TV, on film, in real life is in the same lines as what i am exposed to, what i think, what i feel, what i know. hence the level of misunderstanding or not knowing the feeling/thoughts behind what someone else does. thats goes for the other people too.. would anyone not get what i do for them or just in general cause they dont have the level of understanding or exposure to the thoughts that are running in my mind.. thats the world for you!! different people from diff walks of lifes giving u a sign of diff aspects and exposure to life.. another lesson to learn!!

happiness!!

if u look up into the mirror and see ur self.. take ur eyes off what u r doing in the mirror... meet ur eyes and smile.. u r truly happy from the inside.. hope that feeling last forever and ever and ever...

full hug!!

this subject has been on my head for a while now... You can tell a lot from the way a person hugs someone.. The warmth, the love, the comfort, the feeling, the friendship.. for example, a
Full hug.. complete full hug with a very tight clamp and an awesome way of expressing the best feeling that u have for someone..
Then theres this half hug, just the shoulders coming together.. :) hehe... this is call a very sweet wanna hug but not sure how it shall be accepted.. more like the high society hawa main kiss.. hehehe!! :))
then the side hug, for uncles, for elders, for very sweet friends that u cant resist hugging..
i am a big big hug of the full hug.. i love to hug.. its the best form of expression for me to extend to anyone and it doesnt have to be for someone i have know for sometime, its the moment that decides.. its such a warm feeling to be able to share the same with someone... i just love it!! :)) jaadu ki jappi truly can be the answer to all.. :D

Post a long silence!!

Life has been a routine.. a lazy sunday todays has made me open this page again to ponder on how life's been...

frankly life seems to be a blank page.. :) or too routined for anything different to pop out!! :) hahah.. strange specially when u think abt the events that have happened.. there are loads of fantastic moments that come alive.. eye for detail or a mind for one!!

celebrated 4 events in life.. 3 bdays and 1 anniversary.. 2 my own, 2 of the people i care. my bday on the 3rd and my 2 yr job joining anniversary on the 4th - i tell everyone, it was planned that way to keep the celebration on through 2 days. 2 others was my dads bday on the 1st and a good friends bday on the 22nd. :) so has been a celebrating time for me.

delhi trip for work - roads on delhi are long, wide and very confusing. good food, VERY COLD, and lots of lots of fog. had the rare privilege of walking abt 2 kms in that fog at 230am. hhehe!! awesome exp. couldnt feel my face or my hands after that walk. :)))

good drive, grt car - a friends i20, traffic traffic and traffic on the road till the time the hindmata bridge was not opened, exercise at home (gym money being wasted), control on diet.. quite a big list!! :)

having a good time, with the usual cribbing always there but thats not to be focused on. :)

till something else happens.. adios!!
