Dear Readers!
When Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “I have a
dream…”, the people of USA came together
with a solemn determination of doing and
changing the destiny of the country.
A determined Eklavya learnt the art of
archery. A determined Gandhi galvanised the
country to lead India to freedom and
became a mahatma.
The power of determination and action
changes everything. Let’s strengthen ours.
whY not!

Describe success for yourself
Everyone has different attributes for success. Some
want money, some fame, some peaceful living and
some even wish to come out of their physical
constraints. What are your factors? You can only move
towards what you aspire.
E
Evaluate readiness realistically
Old poem, “Standing on the foot boys and gazing at the
sky, how can you get there boys, if you never try.” A
dream without readiness to accomplish is hallucination.
How badly do you want to achieve? What can you give
to achieve? Look inside before you act outside.
T
Take care in setting targets
Each step should take you towards your goals.
Determine these goals so that it is easy for you to work
backwards and evolve your action plan. Be clear in
setting these goals. Take help if needed. Use simple
measurable language to guide your way forward.
E
Establish plans
Plans take care of all the small steps that help you move
towards the goals which you have established. Ensure
that there are no loose links and confusing paths. Take
time. Test check. Follow what Japanese says, “When we
plan we don’t do, when we do, we don’t plan.”

R
Refine and define boundaries
It's hard to accomplishing things, even when you're
determined, if you don't have a clear idea of what
you're accomplishing and what is outside of that limit.
Being clear about your boundaries will make
accomplishing things much easier.
M
Make-up your momentum
How do you cover the distance of 10,000 kms.? One
step at a time. Momentum is critical. Optimum stress is
vital. Above the optimum leads to burn-out while
performing below the potential leads to a peculiar stage
of rust-out. Where do you wish to see yourself?
I
Invest in skills and self-upgradation
The Olympians prepare for years to participate in a race
that may get over in less than 10 seconds. They prepare
themselves each day physically and mentally to
overcome all odds and enhance their calibre. They
consistently challenge themselves and overcome them.
N
Nurture flexibility and positivity
Murphy’s law applies to all. If everything is to go right,
something may go wrong. Change perspective. Change
plan. In a competitive world, having a plan B is not
sufficient. We need the vibrancy of plan C, D or E.
Refrain from negativity. Keep improving the +ves.

A
Act confident
Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself, no
matter how bad things are looking. Self-confident
people experience a hurdle and believe that they can
overcome it. Confidence is the ability to believe in
yourself, no matter how bad things are looking.
T
Tolerate set-backs to bounce-back
Fear of failure is one of the main things that stops
people from gaining their goals, however determined
they think they are. Great sportsmen have faced failures
and setbacks. They go back to prepare. Leave things
behind and bounce-back with new vigour and will.
I
Imagine success and it’s impact
Visualization matters. Whatever you think for yourself,
you would be right. When you have set clear goals and
have built the momentum and are moving with all
gusto, start imagining the fruits of success. Relish them
in your mind to improve your hunger for success.
O
Off-time, breaks and hobbies
We have grown up with the saying, “all work and no joy
makes…”, you perhaps a very boring and tired person.
Recuperate regularly. Form some hobbies and interests.
Find time for them. Bring variety to bring spark back in
your life and pursuits. Rejuvenating is for all times.

Next actions readiness after accomplishments
Accomplishments are important. What after that? Can
you stay in the past glory to repeatedly tell the future
generations? Perhaps not, lifting your targets, making
them tougher and thriving higher would prove you to
yourselves. Outside world comes later.

Family ventures in India serve as the backbone of
the economy. Name any field of business or social
initiative, and families in India would have played a
pivotal role.
Family businesses have their own unique style and
culture which keep evolving over the time. Market
opportunities have been expanding globally;
technology has been helping in the need and speed
of delivery and the social and family milieu has
created new dimensions in control and decision-
making power-centres, besides the newer
generation aspiring for new avenues or seeking a
higher and faster stake in the enterprise.
Complexities have been rising and so has the
commitment to succeed.
Globally, businesses are seeking professional
MENTORS for advice, strength and support. In
India, highly aware families have followed suit.
Some are gearing up, while a large number still live
in the comfortable bliss of ignorance.
You too can easily reach out to a MENTOR
if you identify your family business with any of
these illustrative needs:
