What Should Your Work Place Really Offer You?

Patience, kindness, generosity, unselfishness, good-temper, guilelessness, and sincerity- these make up the supreme gift, the stature of the perfect man. If you wish to become the beholder of the stature of your workplace scenario you would want to add creativity, spirit, maturation to work etc. This is what a nascent venture should offer you in attainment of your ambition.

While working in a company our curiosity ends up wondering for possibilities and acceptability among people. So is “Start-Up” the curiosity you were looking for? CULTURE AT START-UP FUN TO WORK AND IMPRESSIVE: What defines fun; Ambience of a place where you wish to work? The time you spend with your colleagues?

WORK AND LIFE BALANCE: Stress has many causes, not only the rigid or orthodox culture causes it but also sometimes unenthusiastic and non-communicating people can built a stressful culture for a student to work in a nascent venture. The environment is new. Would you not consider it before you join? SPIRIT OF SHARING: It is exciting to know history of our family from our grandmother and father. It connects us to our society and ancestors. If any nascent ventures culture is expressive and intriguing in sharing past experiences of the company than it is significant for students to keep a note of such a culture. FEEDBACK: Communication holds the fort for any organization. Smashing off that fort would be devastating for any organization. Until and unless employees are observed to be sharing their experience with new students, it would be difficult for any student to choose their choice of nascent venture. FOUNDING TEAM AT START-UP ENERGETIC AND REFRESHING: how does hanging out with friends and family energises you and makes you feel fresh when you are tired of everyday work and job. That freshness consists of loved ones around. That is the similar refreshment and energy you should look for in the team members of a nascent venture as a student. POSITIVE AND CURIOUS: curiosity occurs when you as a student would want to give in totally for the work you are doing. It interests you and so you would work for it and curious to dig in deep about it. Though, you would be able to dig in only if the members of the team are positive towards your work in a nascent venture. LEADERSHIP: it is somehow nature’s settlement of one human becoming superior to other in regard to have a desired result of the work. If the leadership department of any nascent venture is handled strictly with positive approach towards his/her other team members than as a student you would be encouraged to join it. APPRECIATION: this term mean a lot to these days generation. It includes care, support, respect etc. it also sometimes is rhymes with recognition. As a student everybody would want that. It is in their hand whether or not they want to be appreciated and recognized by the team at nascent venture. PRODUCT/SERVICE OF START-UP SOLVING INTERESTING PROBLEMS: We sometimes fight with each other and often fight within ourselves regard any issue or problem. It becomes easy if someone guides us and shows us a different path to walk on. Would you not want to see how someone else’s ideas or experience can help you as well as others to solve interesting work life problems in a nascent venture? UNIQUE: you stand tall among people if you are unique. In simpler term “different”; will the job or work would provide you with a chance to stand tall among the society if you work for a nascent venture? YOUR ROLE IN A START-UP VALUE: If you are willing to add value to our country by supporting the concept of ‘democracy’ and ensuring that you vote, then you would surly want to add value to your own work-place and your role in that. Not only for one’s own self but that eventually results in the growth of our country as well. “What comes around goes around.” SENSE OF PRIDE: It is human nature to take pride in the work they perform for people. One never goes empty handed home in a nascent venture as it provides unique and fascinating experience of work; And so, as a student you would always have a sense of pride of achieving something greater. OPPORTUNITIES: Everybody knows that opportunity knocks once, but it has a scope of many in experience. Willingness to learn, explore, have a multi-disciplinary idea regarding a particular work or job is important. As a student, you would want to add more exposure in your CV and for your own self.

Is Following Your Passion A Great Idea?

When considering a career choice we are often told by our well-wishers to follow our passion. When confused by available choices we are goaded to go by our heart- to choose what the heart wants. Is it the right strategy ? Will following your passion lead you successfully to the long term goals of fulfillment you have in mind ? Yes and No. For the people who are very clear about their strengths, weaknesses, wants and desires  – following their passion is the only way to go forward. Chetan Bhagat an IIM-A alumnus, worked as an investment banker in Goldman Sachs for 11 years in Hong Kong ; but he was passionate about writing. Leaving a cushy job for writing novels was a big risk which he took and succeeded phenomenally. Noted cricket commentator and journalist Harsha Bhogle, also an IIMA alumnus was passionate about Cricket commentary and is having a very successful innings. Late Tarla Dalal, Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, Chef Vikas Khanna  have built their food empire on their passion for Indian food. In their case, they had necessary skills and talent needed to do the job. If you are a star struck fan who wants to follow his passion and be a movie star, a singer or a TV actor -think again before quitting your day job. Assess your talents critically. Even winners of “Indian Idols” and “Be a Bollywood Super Star” kind of shows struggle for work. For budding entrepreneurs “Follow your passion” can be a flawed advice. For running a business you need to consider the perspective of your customers too. You need to have an understanding of markets so that you are able to judge the viability of your venture. Instead of following  “THE PASSION” you would be better off if you follow “THE OPPORTUNITY” and take advantage of it. Zomato , the restaurant discovery website and mobile App was founded by Pankaj Chaddah and Deepinder Goyal who saw their colleagues struggling to find places to eat at. There was an opportunity present for them to tap and solve the food woes of people who were around them. Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal started Flipkart as an online platform to sell books. They saw opportunities and expanded. Flipkart’s valuation today is pegged at $15 billion. You need to be clear with your goals. Finalise your game plan based on your goals which may or may not align with your passion. Only a few lucky and hardworking people amongst us are able to make a good living by working on hobbies. Pay attention to the skills you have. Hundreds of passionate people are forced to change their careers or close down their ventures because they are not sustainable. Passion is not enough to sustain a career or a venture. But if you are sure of your passion and it burns you day and night  – go ahead. Take the risks. If you fail, you will have experience. If you succeed, you will be the happiest person on earth.
