Small is Beautiful



My friend Aman has given me a book to read now a days , its titled " Stay Hungry Stay foolish" . There are 25 inspiring stories of IIM graduates who chose to tread a path of their own .
Out of the whole bunch , I was fascinated by Anand Halve story . He is the owner of an enterprise named "Chorophyll"
At the end of the story , he has given few advice and i fully agree to what he said

On Goals
Follow your heart : The brain may do many things but only the heart can answer the meaningful questions of life .
Don’t defer your joy at a beach today for some imagined future weekend in Acapulco - by the time that happens your diabetes may not let you enjoy the pina coladas

On Money
Create work and affection in your workplace . People give up there lives for what they love but no one will do it for EBIDTA (  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization )

On People and values
Surround yourself with like minded people . You cant plan together if the guys at the table are Gautam Buddha and Genghis Khan

No deal is worth losing your self respect 


The last word
If you don’t laugh enough , your business model is probably wrong .
