transformational leader. How ?

6. Faith in self
“Men often become what they believe
themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do
something, it makes me incapable of doing
it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire
the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in
the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Faith in himself that inspired the faith of the millions of
indians that followed him

7. Learning from mistakes
“Confession of errors is like a broom which
sweeps away the dirt and leaves the
surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger
for confession.” – Mahatma Gandhi
•Gandhi made numerous mistakes throughout his life,
but he strived to learn from these mistakes.
•We need to remind ourselves that we aren’t perfect
(because nobody is) and it is OK to make mistakes.

8. Honesty
“Truth stands, even if there be no public
support. It is self-sustained.” – Mahatma
Gandhi
•Nothing can kill businesses faster
than being untruthful.

9. Overcoming Procrastination
“Nearly everything you do is of no
importance, but it is important that you do
it” – Mahatma Gandhi
“Just get started”
•People often confuse consuming and
planning with action. It is not. Learning
how to write a blog post is
important. But that knowledge is
useless if it is not followed up with
writing the post.
•As Nike famously says, “Just Do It!”.

10. Persistence
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at
you, then they fight you and then you
win.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Many people give up to easily. They quit
too soon when something starts to go
wrong, or obstacles stand in their
way. All the wealthy, successful
business owners were able to persist
through the adversity and come out on
top

12. Conclusion
Although a controversial figure, the impact
Gandhi had on the world cannot be
denied. He was one of the most influential
political figures this world has ever seen. His
faith in self, persistence, ability to learn from
mistakes, and honesty are all virtues we can
learn in order to become highly successful
business owners.
