Lessons Learnt & Food For Thought

8. 1. What is that one thing (could be a hobby or an idea) that makes me feel alive? Something
you can imagine doing even after 30 years with equal zeal?
2. What is that one thing about it that makes you stand out for example, if someone loves
crafting, how is that person’s crafting product different from others?
3. Who is your target audience? Who do you see buying the product/idea?
4. Now imagine a scenario where the response from buyers is not like you expected – what
is the first thought that comes to your mind?
A) I was wrong, should change
B) I am very sure of my work but the world demands something else so I am going to
change
C) I know this is the way to go and can visualize my future, I need to keep trying and
reaching the right audience
5. Imagine if you do not make as much money out of your venture for some initial years,
what is that thought that comes to you?
A) This was a wrong decision
B) This is something l love to do and nothing can change that. I am willing to continue
and follow my dream till it gets its deserved place
Ask yourself these important questions:

9. • If there is anything that motivates you or compels you to follow it but
you are not sure how to go about it or the whether it will work or not,
ask yourself these questions.
• By the end of the list you will have an answer to what you really want
to do
• If there is something that no one has ever done before it doesn’t mean
that its impossible to accomplish, break rules and make things work
for you
• You are going to fail multiple times, again and again, but if your
passion for your dream is strong you wont need anyone to pick you up,
you will follow it no matter what.
