Let’s know about A Social Impact Entrepreneur & Dynamic Businesswomen:
Picture this. You are running a good business and have a good team; however, you know it can be better. You’ve had been successful, but are unsure about the future.
Such experiences in our lives push us at crossroads. Today’s vigorous business environment demands the best out of its leaders.
This calls for adding newer layers of qualities like confident, decisive, strong communicators to one’s personality.
While the current scenario challenges us to move beyond our existing comfort zone. We need someone to help us in achieving a new level of performance.
To wine and dine on the thought, our excursion took us to a personal transformation program, ‘The Success Framework’.
An amalgamation of science and behavioural psychology aimed to drive people’s empowerment and leadership, harnessing the power of the mind for personal transformation and excellence.
The program is the brainchild of someone who believes that personal evolution stands as the greatest reward to human beings.
She is known for putting one’s life experiences in the right light and frame to procreate them as their strengths.

The beginning
“My Passion to create a positive change in the world and helping people discover their real potential. And Also love to create a life that they envision for themselves is something that motivates every day of my life.
To see my mission of helping people live a happy, prosperous, spiritual and abundant life manifesting and coming true is like oxygen for me.
That spark in their eyes when they realize they can create whatever they put their intentions to, drives me every day.”

Shattering the challenges of Becoming Dynamic Businesswomen
Being a first-generation entrepreneur, I had no idea about how a business is run and what skills are needed to build it. I made mistakes, encountered a lot of failures.
But today, when I look back, I feel that all those challenges have made me so much more wise, resilient and knowledgeable.
I have become a very good decision maker now, all because of the bad decisions I made in the initial years.
Valuable Moments
One moment that I specifically want to mention is when I conducted my very first workshop. Needless to say, I had butterflies in my stomach and I had no idea if my program would create an impact on the participants.
But the last day of the workshop proved that I was born to do this work. People had tears in their eyes and no one wanted the workshop to end.
Invitation for Josh Talks, becoming a TEDx speaker and finally creating my bouquet of 19 thought-provoking ideas based on the most trivial and overlooked behaviours which sabotage our life of success and wellbeing and authoring it in as “My Life I Decide”, published by Pan Macmillan, they are among the moments closed to my heart..

A Piece of Advice to Become a Dynamic Businesswomen
Learn from your mistakes and do not repeat the same mistakes, take calculated risks. And have a team which beliefs in your dream as much as you do, trust only people based on the results they produce (not just lip service). Do not let failures stop you.
Failures are part and parcel of an entrepreneur’s journey and the best tools to learn what works and what doesn’t. Delegate tasks to experts and focus on your core area of interest and strength.
Again, I would like to repeat this – your focus should always be to genuinely serve people well, whether it is a service or product and not just on making money.
Money is a by-product of your true intentions so become an entrepreneur only if you genuinely want to serve people well.
Business requires you to be a quick decision-maker, so make sure your decisions are data-driven and not random. Having said that, never ignore your intuition, sometimes everything seems fine from the outside but your intuition tells you that something is not right. Listen to your intuition, it’s always right.
Also, become a learner for life, be open to learning from anyone.
Keep polishing your skills and look up to and learn from people who have already made it in the area of your interest.
