Let go your employee mindsets -Things which help in becoming a freelancer transitioning to an Entrepreneur.

1) Make Self Growth your Top priority Being a freelancer is full of challenges and at times you just don't get enough projects to sustain and even if you are able to survive it’s not constant. My advice to all freelancers is to make self growth your priority, seek more learning situations and experiences.

2) Create a Brand-Value based-Be genuine A new way to make a brand of your skills is through Internet, traditional networking ways still work but now you can get more exposure through tools available on the Internet. Develop a brand and share your knowledge which would help someone. Write blogs develop a subscriber list.

3) Avoid spam-Have the right audience Monitoring your conversion rate is the best way to examine whether you are focusing on the right audience, so while developing a brand avoid spam and chose your market carefully.

4) Act now You have the qualifications, skills and there is no reason why you shouldn't achieve what you desire for. Acting now would give you a start and gradually developing your brand name, value base would help overcome your shortcoming. You won’t believe until u act, it’s the initial start up which is tough rest becomes your second nature.

5) Let go your employee mindset Being an employee is easy it’s a mindset followed by society as a whole, once freelancing has become your second nature the transition to become an entrepreneur is easy.

6) Work hard and smart and don't become attached to results. I remember the wording of Bhagwat Gita(holy book of Hindus) karm kiye ja fal ki icha mat kar(Work hard and smart and don't become needy of results) Follow youR passion and you will see the results.

7) Learn from others-get a mentor Learning from others saves you from being alone, you would need it someday because you can’t know everything. Even a Doctor doesn't know how to manage a business--partner with like minded people.

8) Remember your breakeven point Having a huge budget or small budget doesn't make a difference, the difference is made how and where you spend it. Know YOU BREAK EVEN POINT.

Steps which would help you run a business

 1) Direction-Have a vision and plan
 2) Head space-Stretch yourself, Think big, Believe yourself, Discipline it’s like a bridge (Set Dreams---- Realistic Dreams), Mixing with right people, Overcoming your fear.
 3) Money-Know your cash flow, breakeven point, Budgeting and reporting Example Sales 100=(Variable Cost =75)+(Gross Profit= 15)+(Owner Salary= 5)+(Net profit =5)+Equity 0+(Cash =5)
 4) Time-Learn to Delegate, Learn to finish today and plan tomorrow, Keep a Diary
 5) Delivery-Delivering consistently which is equal to foundation for healthy growth, Customer goes by perception Stick to above and things would eventually start happening, the transition from freelancing to entrepreneur business is all about 1) Niche =Cash) Leverage=Team) Synergy =Freedom) Results=Diversification
 6)Have Life Mantra 1) Never wish your life were easier, Wish that you are better. 2) Be a result driven person with following qualities such as Ownership, Accountable and responsible, 3) Don’t have reason such as Blame, Excuse and Denial. 4) Real business is fun and which works with u

Accommodation for Indians in Sydney

During my visits to Australia for Business I have experienced how
difficult itwould be for people like me to make arrangements for
accommodation and Airport pickup.

As an Indian Business man I can relate to all Indian visiting
Sydney. Whether you are Businessman or an executive visiting
Sydney for a short project you definitely needpeace of mind to
concentrate on what you are going for rather then being
worried of Accommodation.

Following observations can be learned from my experience

•Getting a well furnished apartment near the CBD could be expensive.

•Getting all the amenities and furnishing for a short stay
would be a waste of time and money.

•Researching the right place which would be near
to transport,grocery store would be tedious.

•Companies in India are also unable to cope up
the burden of property management and leave
individualto make their own choice in the
last minute.

Due to my ongoing visits to Sydney I have finally managed to overcome all the above situations and through this blog wont to express my Interest to Help all Indians visiting Sydney.You can contact me through email-pardeeprajgupta@gmail.com and I will try to help you.

Amway in Australia

Amway in Australia is quite common among people from the subcontinent in Australia and I am sure each and every one of us would have received a call introducing you to the Ecommerce Business which works part time. The funny part is that the script of conversation hasn’t changed in years.

It goes like this
"looking for smart and ambitious people who want to achieve
their Emotional dreams in life and wants to become successful.
And yes they can’t Promise anything now but if you are
interested they would love you attend a seminar With limited seats."

Recently while in Sydney Australia I received a call from one of my friend introducing to this business. Surprisingly I did attend the introductory seminar which advised that the income potential of this business is $4000 per month over a span of 8 to 24 months and 150k per annum over a span of 2 to 5 years. They also emphasised that this income is residual income similar to royalty.Truly speaking I was quite impressed with the presentation which offcourse included all what I wanted to hear.

All night I was thinking of this potential Business where as I would be earning residual income throughout my life. I still haven’t joined it but wonder if its really worth it? Or should I stick to Blogging as part of my passion of earning passive income.Any comments on this would definitely help

Buying the Cheapest Car -Tata Nano Online?

TATA'S NANO CAR booking has already been closed and for people like me who thought that they could book it online, its disheartening to know that the smartest car of our country doesn't have a smartest of website.A smart website would atleast allow you to book the car online.These days a website needs to do more than just showcase the product.

The funny part is that the website allows you to Join its Community on Facebook and orkut but not keeping the needs of its online customer in mind.

most effective technique and worthwhile.

Although achieving a top ranking in Google involves a tedious
process of designing your website properly but you can always
