The Seven Pitfalls of Business Failure and How to Avoid Them?

If you are doing business inIndia, there are other factors to be aware of other than fancy, much repeated stuff. One is that what kind of business are you starting, and whether it requires licence/s. If it is a business that does not require any licence, then it can be great relief and one major headache is over.

Second is whether you have any experience in the line you are going to start. You should have some idea about the suppliers and the means to distribute your products. Marketing is a great issue. Basically if you are into manufacturing, then you are literally putting your head into the mouth of distributors, who can simply exploit the situation. You may need to give credit, and then most of the times, it is the distributors who are getting richer.

However, if you are a distributor, then you headache will be with the persons who take things on credit from you.

Money naturally is required, and depending on the kind of business, it can be needed in plentiful.

Then there is one thing that can really help an entrepreneur much. That is the support from family/spouse/ kinfolk etc. If the spouse/family has an attitude of neutralising your vibrant efforts, then things can simply go nullified. However, a spouse or family that more or less rhymes with the needs and moods of business can be a wonderful asset for a businessman. For many households and spouse do not understand that a big business needs a incubation period, for setting up. Many persons in the family will love to pick on the businessman and ask as to what he or she is bringing at the end of each and every single day. Many persons think all business are like little shops, where everything is sold for cash.

I need to mention one other thing. That is the something called Sales Tax. It is actually a robbery to feed the national bureaucracy, and it is collected with a vengeance. If you are giving credit, then there may be the issue of giving tax for things that you have not got your payment for. If the payment takes around 3 or 4 months, then the sales tax can literally eat up your resources.

Then there is the disposition to be obsequious to the officialdom that is an essential prerequisite for doing business in India. If you are entering the arena of business with very elevated ideas of personality and communication, then you had it. You will see the obsequious persons moving fast ahead, while you get bogged down in bureaucratic hurdles.

Also, understand that the realities of most business places of India are not very attractive and the people quality is not much attractive. If you are a person with high standards, you may feel terribly out of place, and solitary.

The fancy areas of international IT business were only an historical fluke that came the Indian way by some accident and does not really represent the realities of Indian business arena.

Then there is the issue of becoming an entrepreneur just to tide over the essential feudal content in the language, for a boss, gets a more powerful level in the language. Here the issue is that if it is not an essential enjoyment of doing business the moves the person, but the feel of being a boss. It has its negative as well as positive sides.

Another thing that a person who goes in for business may face is sheer antipathy and jealousy from others. It is a natural component of Indian social scene, and may not bother one, but then one has to be aware of sly tactics used by others to waylay a business in the pose of lending help. Beware of such do-gooders!

There are many other real life factors, which I cant go into here.

what is treatment of depression please explain?

Depression might be more connected to external inputs rather than any internal mental issue. Trace out what is creating the depression. It can be many things, like your current living condition, the very monotonous view that you get from your room, your lack of friends who vibe with you and your ideas and interests, your lack of companions who rhyme at your mental calibre, persons who use words to distress and tease you, certain words, images, thoughts that connect you to negative persons, issues, themes etc.,your financial conditions, feeling that the future is bleak, monotony of your life, the very layout of your room, the layout of your house, the layout of your college, the social environment, which may be different to what you are comfortable with, feeling that your body is not fit etc. It is not low self esteem that essentially creates depression, but these things that I mentioned. However, the things I mentioned can create low self-esteem.

Do not, repeat do not, consult a psychiatrist. They know as much about the working of the human being as an ordinary computer hardware technician would know about complicated computer software. Moreover, it is just a means of a livelihood.

As to the cure, first find out if there is anyone in your life who is holding your life in a shackled position. A person who enjoys your discomfiture! And may have gains to be made from your mental trauma!! This person can be your intimate friend, your kinfolk, your brother, your sister, your father, your mother, you neighbour, your teacher anyone else who seems to be your protector or friend!!!

Or find things that create discomfiture in you. Depression may get cured if you can preoccupy yourself with some extremely interesting hobbies, like reading, seeing films, writing, engaging in conversation on themes you are passionate about, and joining a club etc.

Another very effective cure for depression would be boisterous games. It shall surely life your spirits. If you cant do that, try swimming. Go for jogging to get your spirits in the right mood and your body in a sound condition. Currently Internet had become be a very good source of preoccupying your self.

However, always bear in mind that most depression can be traced to inimical persons in your life.

As to a medical cure, do not touch allopathic medicines. Homeopathic medicines can be very effective. But then you need to find a capable homeopath, for this field of medicine really deals with the software side of human design. This is my own understanding, even though no homeopath has told me thus. It is effective, but then the doctor may take time to find the right cure that can pinpoint on your issue.

But then, also bear in mind that there are times in life, when one has to bear some bad times. Bad times also can be a source of depression, and it itself can be a depression!

Gandhi tops list of who should have won Peace Prize



What is Gandhis contribution? That he drove out the British? Well, that is not a truth. As to all his ideas, well, they are all more or less kind of sales talk meant to garner leadership over a fooled people.

About pushing out the British, it may be understood that the British rule was the best rule for the majority population of India for at least the last 2000 years. Naturally, they will be blamed, for they were the persons who dismantled the huge and powerful feudal structure of this geographical area, which actually had little physical contact among its current constituents.

As to removing the British rule, any serious history student knows that right from 1909, the various presidencies of British India were more or less ruled by the Indians themselves. Gandhi was just a rhetorician who found great possibilities in certain historical incidences.

As to his greatness, it shall grow in places where his supporters can input supportive dialogues into school and college text books. It is really doubtful, if M. K. Gandhi had even rudimentary knowledge about setting up civil administration. As it is, within a few years of British departure, the people here were burdened with an unwieldy and gigantic, bureaucracy, which was corrupt to the core. They and the teaching class are more or less looting the nation, and naturally, they will find a nice usable leader in Gandhi.

If anyone really wants to know who improved the pitiable position of the majority, I would name the various officials of the East India Company, with a few exceptions of the earlier times. If any Indian name can be mentioned, it is the name of RajaRam Mohan Roy. He alone saw the terribleness of young girls being burnt alive. He and the British Parliament need approbation for crushing this terrible act. Gandhi doesnt come anywhere near to Rajaram Mohan Roy in anything. Gandhi was just a master of false talk.

As to the British officials, there are many who worked earnestly for bringing law and order to this geographical area, where a smalltime mans nothing was safe, including his wife and children, for the clutches of the feudal classes. Even the merchant classes were under the terror of being fleeced by the various landlords when their wares moved through their territory. British crushed such truculent landlords, but then now these crooks are appearing on the scene as freedom fighters, who fought the British, in films. One such south Indian movie has just been released. Just a sample of traditional Indian shallow ingratitude!

The name of William Henry Sleeman needs to be mentioned. He was the person who crushed the Thuggee menace.

Another person to mention is Robert Clive. He stands as evidence of the fact that the great majority of Indians were fed up of their slavish existence under the Indian feudal lords and kings. Also, it may be understood that it was essentially the Indians who fought for the British, and not the British army. Persons who know history know that the British nation was not in favor of these persons who liberated the enslaved Indians. In fact, Robert Clive committed suicide due to the incessant attack he had bear from the British society.

I am sure that these entire names would be quite unknown to the modern Indians, who simply mug up what is doled to them by the corrupt bureaucracy, shallow teachers and treacherous politicians.  After all, it serves them right to fool the Indians. Later, their children all go off to English nations.

Was Gandhi a Congress party member, or a manipulator of the congress party?
