6 ways which can keep the inspiration alive in entrepreneurs

It isn’t uncommon for a person to lose inspiration and give up because he feels his venture isn’t going anywhere.

Since entrepreneurship is a taxing and demanding job, it requires a lot of patience and a constant will to become better. Meanwhile, it isn’t uncommon for a person to lose inspiration and give up because he feels his venture isn’t going anywhere.

Here are 6 ways in which entrepreneurs can keep the inspiration alive:

i. Vision

Amidst the entire hustle bustle, it is very easy to lose vision of what you wanted to achieve when you first started with the venture. However, writing it down can help because you can always go back to what you have written down. Once you read and are sure of what your vision is, you will be more inspired and motivated to work further.

ii. Money

It isn’t a bad thing to be money minded as a lot of people tend to work harder when they can actually see and experience the fruits of the labour they put in. Inputs getting multiplied while becoming outputs is a great inspiration for most people and it keeps them fighting harder than before.

Also, watching motivational movies or videos on the internet can help you find you purpose in life. Thus, reading or watching inspirational stuff can help in keeping the fire in you ignited for long.



iv. Soothing music

Soothing music can be a way of regaining inspiration as the right kind of music can evoke an array of emotions in you. A creative block can also be thawed by music as it helps you focus and think better. Hence, if you want to gain back the lost inspiration or want to keep yourself inspired, music is your ally.

v. Working out

No matter how hard you work in the office, it is absolutely crucial for you to sweat it out for the well being of your body. As you exercise, you body and mind become calmer and get rid of all the toxins infesting it which allow you to think better. Working out also re-energises you which are why you remain inspired to work harder towards achieving your goals.

Meet Uppma Virdi: Australia’s businesswoman of the year

Uppma Virdi, a 26 year old girl, from Chandigarh, recently made the whole country proud by winning the coveted Australian Business Woman of the Year for her tea business called Chai Walli.

Uppma Virdi, a 26 year old girl, from Chandigarh, recently made the whole country proud by winning the coveted Business Woman of the Year at the 2016 Indian Australian Business and Community Awards (IABCA) in Sydney last week. She achieved this great feat by simply turning her love for Indian tea (chai) into a business she wanted to propagate across continents.

“My grandfather is an Ayurvedic doctor and he used to make this Ayurvedic tea at his medical dispensary. He taught me the art of Ayurvedic tea. Wherever I go I make tea… My parents’ number one request is ‘Uppma, make some tea.’ When my brother got married, I think I would have made a thousand cups of tea for all the guests. Even when I went overseas to Austria on a scholarship, I used to make tea for everyone. It was a way of bringing people together.” – Uppma Virdi
