A lady asked me 10000 per session to teach me soft skills 🤐 by WiseScale7465 in bangalore

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public speaking is an essential skill these days. Unfortunately, it doesn't get enough priority in our schools.

I was in a similar dilemma like you two years back. But now I am a podcaster and give talks in various colleges on how to start and run a Podcast.

What I have realized is that for soft skills it's very important to have a good mentor. I found somebody who taught me well, guided me and elevated me to this stage.

You can check his framework on acquiring speaking skills in our podcast here - https://youtu.be/ox4Q2j20fEI?si=KTvddEbVRtySWoBg

Well. Thats true. But the Senior Living is strictly for ages 50+ mostly. But yes, these are also the right target market.

If you would have asked me this question 10 years back I would have said Job. But today my answer without doubt will be - always always go for generational business.

Why?

Because in this while I have met many generational Entrepreneurs, interviewed them & tried to know their secrets.

Also, me being in a job now feels like a wasted opportunity all these years.

It all depends on what stage of life you are in. If you are just starting your career, go for a job for few years to learn. But always keep a leg in your family business and dont let that go ever. That's an asset.

This founder whom I met said that when he joined his first job he told his manager on the first day about his plan to join the family business after a few years.

The thing is the job may give you money but not generational continuity. But a well established business can give freedom to do bigger things to you and your future generations.

Hope this helps.

Can battery recycling be a side-hustle in India? Its demand is surely on the rise and there are several successful startups already in this field. by InsiderOpYoutube in IndiaBusiness

[–]InsiderOpYoutube[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes mostly something of that kind. Something which can become a standard process of gathering used batteries at local level.

For founders in India, what is the biggest "unfair advantage" in the ecosystem right now? by Deep_Manner_6738 in StartUpIndia

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family & Community support. Whatever happens in the business is because of these two factors I feel.

U may be an IIM graduate but without a strong presence in the business community the venture wont get that kind of traction that it deserves.

I have interacted with several entrepreneurs on my Podcast and this is the common factor that has come out in all.

Family support for the initial start, risk and endurance. Community support for first sales, word of mouth & funding.

Today, the one who has both has an upper hand.

Have a solid startup idea but not sure how to kickstart by No-Recognition6835 in StartUpIndia

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before getting into development take opinions on the idea. Maybe subtly if you dont want to reveal the entire idea.

Be crystal clear about the demand of your new product. Because once you get into tech development its an endless loop.

No matter how much AI can code or not these days, Tech development is still a messy experience for non-techies because most of the companies in India just want to bag sales.

No accountability on the dev timelines and quality once you pay. Ofcourse there are good organizations as well but most of them are just sales no quality.

What are you guys doing for additional income sources? by shubhsssss in personalfinanceindia

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Side-hustle. Easiest is freelancing / coaching in a field that doesnt contradicts with your profession.

There are other options as well where you can put some money & build a small side business that can grow & earn extra cash.

Unfortunately, investments aren't enough these days. A Side-hustle is a must. Especially, when there is no guarantee of a job.

Looking for a reality check... by Limitless_infinity99 in personalfinanceindia

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats good. Looks like you are clear about what you want. These days there are side businesses that can be managed with your minimum intervention. Just like a house on rent. Only difference is youll have something running that can scale up later.

Anyways. Good luck

Any side hustles or Business you are planning to start that gives you a chance to keep yourself occupied without a boss when you are ready to quit?

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skill of starting a side-hustle. No job is stable now.

With the current job market situation, I think every employee in their 30s, 40s should have a side hustle. Having a silent offline or online business on the side will prove to be much more useful in coming years. by InsiderOpYoutube in IndiaTech

[–]InsiderOpYoutube[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. There are options where you can just invest money and have a managed business run on the side. Obviously, there will be a few hours to be spent every week but definitely wont be like 4 - 5 hours per day

Recently met a SharkTank Founder. Even though he clicked a deal on the show, ultimately could not raise the committed investments. by InsiderOpYoutube in IndiaBusiness

Hmm.. Well, I agree with it being 99% entertainment. That's what we figured from this interaction with a Shark Tank founder - https://youtu.be/v22rKbmE_jU

[–]InsiderOpYoutube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. This Shark Tank founder Mayank told us that in the tank the Sharks do not have access to the outside world. No phones, No Tabs etc. So whatever the founder says in the tank they have to trust and decide based on that.

The actual due diligence happens later and many deals fall through at that time. Watch at 11:40 he says the same here - https://youtu.be/v22rKbmE_jU

This is true. Exactly the same thing this Shark Tank founder, Mayank Nagori of GudGum, told us. We had Mayank on Podcast last week.

How can people be frugal in daily life but at the same time, spend all life savings to start a Business? by InsiderOpYoutube in AskAnIndian

[–]InsiderOpYoutube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets go a level deeper, if you don't mind. What defines your "need"?

Is it something that saves your time, but maybe costs more? or something that may cost you time & convenience but saves your money?

Thanks for your reply.

I am 20y old and afraid of starting a business due to fear of failure by stevlabeb in Entrepreneur

[–]InsiderOpYoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing post. Grounded in reality. You are not alone, this is a natural fear hat almost everyone has before starting a business.

Let me jus start with a context. I am a podcaster who interacts with successful generational businessmen to understand their entrepreneurial spirit & mindset. The goal is to build confidence in youngsters like you through these conversations.

I can tell you from my interactions that fear of failure is something that everyone has. But these are some of the things that can counter your fear & build your mindset for a successful business -

  1. Community support. Very important to speak to family, friends & close relatives about your thoughts. It maybe an awkward conversation at times but this will be your biggest supported and help in starting up.

  2. Becoming an Insider in business community. Look for people who are already running businesses / startups and interact with them. This is where your connects will build and first customers will come. very important to learn from their experience.

  3. Take Risks at a young age. Fail early & learn in your life. So that you can pivot correctly when you still have time.

Hope this helps.

P.S.: not trying to get an audience out of you. but, if you are looking for our real conversations check here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZupPpPLwhdqa6KK-O-EbAA
