My 1st Business Failure Case Study

In this podcast I talk about how I came back from USA to start a business and how I failed miserably. I thought that just because I had money in the bank, made me qualified to be a success entrepreneur.

Life gave me a good reality check when my business tanked and I lost about 14 Lakh Rupees. But the money loss was not as painful as the outrage and judgement I was subjected too by my own people.

I think each one of us has the right to pursue anything in life. Infact that’s what life should be about, trying things and finding out what our real purpose is.

But in the process we should not stop learning. Infact, had I not been overconfident and had been ready to learn I would have saved myself a lot of heartache.

Don’t want the same to happen to you and therefore presenting my case study in this podcast.

Write to me and let me know your thoughts.
