  Whether you want to find a side hustle that generates extra income while you keep your day job or start a small business to eventually grow into a larger business, there are a few important considerations you need to think about. This course covers the six most vital aspects of a perfect side gig.  A side gig should be something that makes you money and doesn’t cost you money. It shouldn’t take a lot of your time, either. Your time and money are precious and limited resources.   Many budding entrepreneurs start a side gig without realizing it is a real business that’s going to require a lot of time and money, and unfortunately, find they can’t sustain it. Others start a business that causes a lot of undue stress and puts them at financial risk or legal liability.  There’s a difference between starting a business that needs all of your time and money, and a “side gig” that has low risk and helps you make a steady stream of income. Learn the difference, and start applying the principles Dana Robinson teaches to help you find the perfect side hustle.  This course will show you how to evaluate business opportunities in a way that helps you avoid wasting your time, causing you stress and costing you money. Most importantly, this course will give you positive and encouraging ways to approach a side gig business, and gently encourage you to move out of your comfort zone in order to find and grow an income generating side hustle.

  The Ambuja Story - How a Group...

  'I had never seen a cement plant in my life. I had no idea about limestone deposits or the cement industry in Gujarat. And I had never negotiated an industrial agreement. Yet, in the next few weeks, I would need to be ready for a substantive meeting with Gujarat government officials.' 
   
  The year was 1983. A cotton trader, still in his early thirties, began to dream big. His aspiration was to become an 'industrialist'. The venture he was about to embark on was uncharted territory for him. He knew nothing about cement, limestone or anything remotely associated with it. 
  In the era of Licence Raj, where everything from production to consumption was controlled by the government, Narotam Sekhsaria saw the huge potential in cement and its role in a growing nation. Trusting his instinct, he started Ambuja Cement and went on to create one of the most successful cement companies in the world. 
  Told by the man himself, The Ambuja Story is a tale of grit, determination, honesty and integrity. For a cement company, it's a unique case study that broke many stereotypes, such as cement production can't be an environmental friendly activity, good cement can't be cheaper and it's difficult to market a product as boring as cement. 
  Narotam Sekhsaria's vision for Ambuja wasn't just limited to financial success; he undertook community development around all Ambuja plants to a whole new level. Ambuja's work in women empowerment, skill development, health and education created new benchmarks for the industry long before corporate social responsibility became mandatory in India. 
  The Ambuja Story provides a new perspective on business and life, inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs to scale greater heights.

  Creative thinking is about finding a way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective to conceive of something new or original. It then becomes inventive thinking when something is created. If you have a brainstorming meeting and dream up dozens of new ideas, then you have displayed creativity but there is no inventiveness until something gets implemented. So, creativity and inventiveness go together hand in hand. 
   
   With his usual flair for narrative, sharing personal experiences, inspirational stories and motivational quotes, Neil Francis will help you to unleash your inner creativity and apply it every day in everything you do!

  Life lessons from an investor who forged his own path to successThrough their entertaining conversations, Ken Hersh and his interviewer, best-selling author Steve Fiffer, recount Ken’s improbable life journey, both personally and professionally. And what a journey it has been! Knowing nothing about the energy industry, Ken ventured in and ultimately helped pioneer an investment methodology that built one of the country’s most successful private investment firms and has been copied by dozens of firms to become the dominant means by which capital flows into the domestic energy industry. As a fearless young capitalist, he never shied away from raising his hand. He says, “I viewed every opening as a gaping opportunity. The uncertainty kind of excited me.”The Fastest Tortoise is about not just weathering the unknown but embracing it and thriving. Structuring his story around “Ken-isms” that define his personal and professional philosophies—such as “yellow lights don’t turn green,” “be uncomfortable,” and “feed the ducks while they’re quacking”—Ken demonstrates how to approach a volatile world.Ken’s path, from planting his flag in an industry where an investment model had to be reinvented, to creating a culture in which colleagues and staff felt like family, to pursuing a second career in the nonprofit sector, gives leaders and entrepreneurs of all stripes ample examples from which to draw valuable lessons, inspiration, motivation, and confidence. With his honest, in-depth tales of the ups and downs of his business and personal dealings, we get an inside look at how this optimist has successfully navigated life and business.
