Many ventures globally fail because they don't validate their startup business idea before launching. 

Don't Do This, Don't Let Anyone Do This.

Startup Author - How To Validate Your Startup Business Idea 

Everyone has the ability to change their lives - at home, work or business.

The ability to change however requires a " whole amount of will, thoughts to unlearn and relearn and a growth mindset to get things done". Without a growth mindset you are most likely to be less progressive and enterprising in whatever you do.

Working with many successful leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals globally I have found that anyone's life can change the moment they start thinking that they have the ability to change it.

Successful and happy people get things done, they don't sit and brood , they just get up and start living and stop brooding.

Who is this book for ?

You should pick this book if you fall under any of these categories and who has been itching for long to create his or her own version of success in life, work or business -

Student
Teacher
Aspiring Entrepreneur
Founder
Professional 
Homemaker 
Entrepreneur
Startups
Small Business Owner

or anyone for that matter who is hell bent on changing their life with a progressive mindset and achieve their own versions of success through following a structured growth mindset development. 

This book - Don't sit and brood - Start living and Stop brooding - is for that hungry soul and mind who is not willing to give up, ever and always looking at the silver lining in the sky as the eternal pessimist.

Startup Author - Don't Sit and Brood - Stop Brooding, Start Living

Whether you are a startup, small business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur or a growth bound venture, this book will give you effective tips on how you can have a growth mindset and prepare for raising funds.

Why this book?

Keep in mind during any phase of business specially tough ones, nothing comes as close as taking some tips from seasoned investors, global experts, aspiring startups and serial entrepreneurs who have walked the path or are walking the path as we talk. This book will help you in this unknown journey.

Startup Author - How To Raise Funds Like A Rockstar : Self Help Easy Tips For Startups

I published my second book Bounce Back Now : How Can Startups, Small Business Owners & Aspiring Entrepreneurs Bounce Back & Grow In Tough Times like this pandemic Covid19

It has been trending as the top seller on Amazon.

This book might come handy for professionals, aspiring & existing entrepreneurs who are sailing in these unprecedented times and now looking to bounce back & grow.The suggestions in the book have been handpicked as “practical actionable tips” to help people bounce back and understand organic growth for self and business even during tough times like this pandemic.

This book also addresses a very pertinent cause close to my heart.

It is my endeavor to support startups & individuals who might be in a closed state of mind, pessimistic, depressed or might have failed in their previous efforts of whatever those might be. Having gone through the same time and again, I feel this is a key thing to be addressed. This is like the elephant in the house. The content in this book is also about hope which is beyond just business

Why this book ?

When you are struggling, the best thing you can do is to reach out to people who can share hope and can guide you to the right direction. Reaching out to people who already have experienced that state of mind or have had multiple experiences in the same domain can give you a great understanding on how unchartered territories would most likely be. This lays the foundation of a bounce back mindset both for growth & scaling up. 

This book addresses that.

Feel free to share & read.  Bounce Back Now is now available on
