How it was started. After Manoj Agarwal returned from the US and while in his last year with Cisco, he had experiences with real estate brokers which made him recognize that there was a significant trust gap in the market. As an owner of an apartment in the U.S. and as a consumer in India, he observed the gap in quality of service and trust in the two markets. In spite of being thousands of miles away from the US, he used to receive the committed rent regularly in his account. He observed that there was a huge contrast in the work and ethics of the real estate agents of these two markets. At times, it got really challenging for him with the agents in India with whom he had to validate and cross-check all the information received during the process.

COVER STORY

CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH THE DIGITAL LIFE Rashi Saral | Business Connect

T

echnology is the platform that uplifts people’s lives to the next level. To stay competitive, organisations have used contemporary measures to proffer solutions that meet the demand of the consumer. In addition to uplifting the mainstream people, many notable organisations focus on enhancing the life of the people living with disabilities. These companies focus on crafting gadgets and solutions for PLWDs, so that they can outshine and live life like everyone else. Unlike the other entities, who have devised measures to help these people to a specific extent, Fran Killoway, a very intellectual and comprehensive leader has devised a groundbreaking solution of the PLWDs: A bridge to the digital world “Frasil”. The merchandise is the outcome of a dream of its Founder Fran. Empowered by a Machine Empathy engine, the product is a browser-based solution crafted with AI and ML that helps a disabled person interact with the world at his/her ease.

AN OVERVIEW

Frasil is a digital application constructed with all the IT advancements, which helps people with disabilities to interact with the global community. Through an intuitive interface, apps and operational system, Frasil gives everyone the ability to access the digital world and online tools. Frasil brought forth a very innovative product, which helps to connect with the online world and allows PLWD to make their own choices. These choices include whom they want to connect with, the way they wish to express and eventually, more contributing members of their community. The bottom line is Frasil enables these people to utilize the digital platform to communicate and interact just like the rest of the world.

“Whoever you are, whatever your ability, Frasil allows you to be you.” FRAN KILLOWAY Executive Chairman 11

THE STORY THAT MADE IT HAPPEN

FRAN BELIEVES THAT

“It’s not just about showing people living with disabilities what the world has to offer, It’s about showing the world what people living with disabilities have to offer.

Fran’s unique academic background and diverse professional experience resulted in coming to database design. Before conceiving Frasil, Fran incorporated a decade of experience and knowledge on AI theories by associating herself with BCG, a US-based large defence company, Oracle, and many other Multi-National Conglomerates. After treasuring such enormous knowledge and experience, she aimed at conceiving something productive. During this time, she had to take a break for 3 years owing to some personal reasons. However, after returning to the platform in 2010, she focused on building a practical solution for the PLWDs - by implementing her AI knowledge she garnered over the years.

Frasil is proud to support www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition May 2020 INDIA

12


To break this stereotype, Fran intended on building a system that could collaborate with its user and react to their needs rather than requiring the user to change to satisfy the device. This made her the devise Frasil, in 2014. Her product contains 13trending digital apps that most PLWD canuse in day-to-day-life including communication tools and access to products that we all take for granted like Netflix, sport, news, TV shows and movies, music, books, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and a lot more on their terms. In short, Frasil gives most PLWD, regardless of their disability,a bridge to connect with the world, reducing social isolation.

FACTORS THAT DIFFERENTIATE THE PRODUCT

The product has a ‘Humanoid’ that builds rapport with the user at a personal level by generating conversation. This creates a trustworthy relationship between the duo eventually, making the product their “companion” and “friend”. Instead of the usual “one size fits all” assistive tools and analytics, Frasil uses AIand MLto understand each user. By connecting on an emotional level, Frasil understands the needs and wants of each user and provides specified solutions accordingly. The framework further ensures that each user engages more with the device and content. Frasil’s AI and ML uses a very simply structured black and white navigation system supported by a very sophisticated database and back end. The AI’s simple navigation coupled with emotional and engaging conversations personalized for each user allows the system to become an appropriate digital friend of each user. Apart from this, Frasil enables every user to learn and understand their environment and become more contributing members to their communities. While the humanoid protects each user’s privacy, the AI and ML combine to learn each user’s nuances. Being completely premised on the needs of the users, the product understands their grammar, intelligence to suitably suffice the emotional needs of the user. Through her product, Fran has synthesized a highly innovative world-class technology that highlights people living with disabilities. 13

R&D THAT HELPS THEM TO STAY PUT

“The R & D program managed by Innovation and Science Australia has been an integral partofthe development of Frasil” acknowledges Fran. In addition to this, Frasil innovates with enhancements to each of the 13 Apps, giving them a continuing edge over their peers. After the release of each App, Frasil’s AI and ML keeps keen attention on the feedback given byevery individual user. Based on these feedbacks, Frasil additionally releases enhancements that arecutting edge and remain relevant to every individual user. Building something that does not exist and forecasted by many as impossible,requires constantanalysis of the product and implementation of suggestions by users. This is an approach, which has kept Frasil consistentfor the last 10 years. Incorporation of these upgradations also portrays the hurdles that Fran has had to overcome in getting Frasilto the market.

BUILT ON A CUTTING-EDGE ARCHITECTURE

To provide a personalized experience for every user, Frasil has blended traditional architecture with an innovative design of databases. The product is built on a ‘Microsoft Azure’ enabled solution, which proffers a centric and unique search engine. The software has a track record in providing a scalable, robust and secure platform for global deployment for hosting leading AI and ML technologies. The Frasil search engine puts forth a series of questions for eachuser. After receiving the answers, the operating system reciprocates the specific needs of each user. A factor that distinguishes this product from its predecessors is that the product can accommodate up to 100 million simultaneous users, but still each of its solutions differ from person to person.

MOTIVATION THAT FUELS THE ORGANISATION

“Since I enjoy my work and the people on every level, I never think of it as a personal and professional life balance.

Fran has spent the lastdecade towards listening and learning from people living with disabilities and discovering their needs and wants. Existing IT platforms had previously been and continue to be point solutions solving very focused problems. Looking at the solutions,Franwasn’t able to understand the traditional ways of programming, where PLWDhad to comply with strict and unnatural ways of relating to devices.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition May 2020 INDIA


Equalizing between personal and professional life is an essential requirement. However, if one is passionate about the work he/she does, the line separating the two hemispheres disappears. Fran is very passionate about ensuring people with disabilities have the same opportunities, like the rest of the world. Henceforth, her passion fuels her motivation to build and implement solutions for the PLWDs. This identical motivation is also instilled inside the other employees of the organization. Frasil operates a small dedicated team. Throughout its professional journey, this team has shown great passion, persistence and perseverance. Everyone in the team shows the same zeal as their leader to achieve one single purpose: highlighting people living with disabilities.

“The

driving motivation has always been towards the users; their willingness not to judge and give life a go evenafter living with disabilities.

Says Fran. This unbroken posture of the users is what makes Frasil deliver the best product for each person with a disability.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS PORTRAYING THE LENGTH OF SUCCESS

Fran Killoway’s background in AI and ML is not traditional and it strikes people to believe that a 68-year-old female (with a granddaughter) can bring such huge technological transition for the PLWDs. However, Fran’s target towards www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition May 2020 INDIA

illuminating the PLWDs has made her the heir of numerous accolades.

A FEW OF THEM ARE MENTIONED BELOW:• In 2013 she was recognized as

“Who’s Who Executive of theYear for Consumer Services”.

• APAC CIO Outlook portrayed Frasil as

“Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Consulting/ Services Companies 2018” and “Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Solution Providers 2019” • Frasil also won the

“2020 Global Excellence Awards” in the “Customised Browser Solutions for the Disabled” category. Along with this, Frasil is highly commended by the populace for its contribution towards the society. Inaddition to Frasil, Fran has established the ‘Aspirante Foundation’, an Australian based charitable foundation, aimed to provide direct assistance to those in need, including people living with disabilities. The Foundation also initiates programs that provide financial support to people living with a disability and access to online tools. 14


OUTLOOK OF THE FUTURE

The size of the disability market is enormous and a major growing issue for governments around the world. Frasil has a long pipeline of developments in its trove to provide greater functionality of its App (enhancements in their humanoid). Moreover, Frasil is developing a ‘Management Software’ for organisations concerned with PLWDs. The software is aimed to provide management with greater insights into the needs of their clients and the effectiveness of their services. Over time, the data Frasil will collect from this organisations will be extremely valuable to the government and other decision-makers; regarding the effectiveness of funding and the solutions to be offered; to allow people with disabilities to show what they have to offer. This data can save billions of dollars in the cost of programs while resulting in procuring better services for each person living with disabilities.

AGARWAL ESTATES

A One Stop Solution For All Your Real Estate Needs Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect

About the CEO Manoj Agarwal is a US citizen and an ex techie, who has spent a large part of his career in Cisco. What he excelled in while in the IT industry was to understand that processes matter more than individual brilliance and are the only ways to successfully scale operations.

he act of buying and selling properties in India is riddled with a lack of trust and integrity. Issues of transparency and fraud are very common in the real estate field. But things are changing for the positive, and Agarwal Estates offers incredible solutions to all your real estate needs.

Based in Bangalore, Agarwal Estates is a real estate firm that was founded in 2012. Their services have grown organically based on their customers’ needs. They started with rental advisory and have now grown to become a full-stack real estate firm that includes buying and selling of all real estate (residential, commercial & land), rental and leasing to both consumers and corporates, interior design and contracting, loans and allied services. In terms of unique offerings in their property management services, they work in a manner where they manage both residential & commercial properties, along with rental guarantees for selected properties to the respective

owner, eventually providing hassle-free and productive tenant management for the owners.

ly, they imbue in them a sense of purpose based on the awareness that their work is responsible for happiness of the families of their customers.

How it was started. After Manoj Agarwal returned from the US and while in his last year with Cisco, he had experiences with real estate brokers which made him recognize that there was a significant trust gap in the market. As an owner of an apartment in the U.S. and as a consumer in India, he observed the gap in quality of service and trust in the two markets. In spite of being thousands of miles away from the US, he used to receive the committed rent regularly in his account. He observed that there was a huge contrast in the work and ethics of the real estate agents of these two markets. At times, it got really challenging for him with the agents in India with whom he had to validate and cross-check all the information received during the process.

In order to inspire a workforce, there are a multitude of motivational strategies. Recognition of efforts on a constant basis is what oils the machine. “Our employee of the year is our youngest employee. When he joined us, he had no background in real estate nor did he know how to operate a computer, but he had a great attitude and was willing to learn. When our employees see him go on a company sponsored all-expense-paid trip to Dubai which was a part of the award he won as employee of the year, they know that they too can achieve anything if they put their mind to it.” Let’s take a glance at the story of its struggles.

All of this led to a singular vision for Agarwal Estates during its inception - To redefine trust and change the perception of real estates services in India.

The Story of Struggle One of the biggest challenges faced by the firm is acquiring talent that fits into the values espoused by its founder. As several real estate businesses have been built on a culture of short term gains, the talent available in the real estate market is lacking in values. This is primarily because they have not seen mentors who put a premium on trust and long-term relationships.

This they do by consistently providing: • Completely transparent service with no hidden agenda • Empowering customers by providing them with knowledge • A process-driven approach that is predictable and allows customers visibility into what to expect

For this reason, Agarwal Estates has endeavored to build its core team with leaders who are not from the real estate sector. The team includes folks with a background in media, medicine, IT and investing where they were assembled for their attitude and ethics and then embarked on a steep learning curve. The process-oriented approach coupled with its learning culture ensures that new members in the team have the best resources at hand to understand the market and gain domain knowledge that quickly positions them above their counterparts in the industry.

Speaking of how his clientele has grown over the years, Manoj says, “As we have never believed in advertising, all of our business comes through the references of our customers. Our customers are those who come to us knowing that they can expect to be served in a transparent and ethical manner and the service comes at a cost. We do not subsidize our services as we’re aware of the value we bring to the table. Those who are looking for superior quality of service and trustworthy advice prefer us.”

By meticulously and through hard work, with a focus on building relationships and creating a culture of continuous improvement, Agarwal Estates has emerged as pioneers in this domain

On the subject of keeping up with trends, the firm believes that change is the only constant and the only way to thrive is to continuously learn and evolve. The team here is entrenched in a learning culture that allows it not just to keep pace with but stay ahead of the curve as far as market trends go.

Looking ahead, Manoj Agarwal says, “Agarwal Estate’s vision is as humble as it is audacious - to change the perception of real estate services in India. The market will go through its evolutions and with our learning culture and focus on long term relationships, we will thrive and innovate. The best is yet to come.”

Agarwal Estates places a strong emphasis on employees and consistently provides them with motivation and encouragement. Employees in turn feel energized to be a part of the organization. This is ensured by instilling a sense of pride derived from the perception their brand enjoys in the market. In addition to this, they invest in their employees by training and coaching them, enabling them to feel like they are consistently getting better and are on a path to mastery. Last-

SYSTEMS INC.

OFFERS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR APPLICATION PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING Kiran Mishra | Business Connect

As the whole world is facing the adversities of the Coronavirus pandemic, the majority of companies are inclining themselves towards digitization for the sake of the continuation of their business. In this regard, experts have predicted that by 2021, digital businesses will be quadruplicated. The current scenario furthermore strengthens the need to validate the applications which can perform optimally. Many software companies are in a continuous process of designing and launching applications to benefit users across the globe. At the same time, there is a multitude of companies that deal with providing software solutions related to these applications, which help improve the overall performance of processes, and the software or application driving that business process.

ANIL KUMAR Founder & CTO

”FANNING THE FIRE” OF THE BUSINESS IDEA

The founders of Cavisson have been in the performance domain since the beginning of their careers and have been exposed to numerous technologies and methodologies.

The categorization of awards falls into two parts, which are team awards and companywide awards. There are team-building exercises that are organized regularly, and then there are events in which management encourage almost every employee to participate and contribute. Timeouts are one of the best ways to rejuvenate and come back with fresh energy. Many times, the offsite is also planned, so that occurs during a tech refresh and kickoff.

SYNCHRONIZING WITH THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS

The complexity of technology has advanced multifold to include application architecture moved from monolithic applications to microservices; system layer complexity has increased with VMs, Pods, container type of devices surfaced like IoTs and has increased the complexity in distributed computing: all of these advancements have led to an exponential increase in data points, data relationships, and logs. Furthermore, the technology has reached end consumers creating the need for highly sophisticated customer experience and real-time responsiveness. All of these factors have led to vertical siloed solutions that lack drill-down across software layers, with no anomaly detection, and many diversely skilled teams (too many cooks), causing a longer time for issue detection and an increased cost to businesses with many pointed solutions. However, keeping abreast of existing trends and innovation, Cavisson has taken a leadership position in building end-to-end comprehensive and unified solutions with a single dashboard to capture all data points across diverse software layers. It has full drill-down and anomaly detection through a proprietary solution using a big data engine, high-performance computing, fast data analytics, and AI/ML. Also, using shift-left strategies, Cavisson has produced a highly scalable, repeatable, and production like simulative environment to enhance further the performance engineering side of the business needs to reduce the cost and improve the clients’ brand by avoiding failures in the root itself – prevention is better than a cure! Anil Kumar says, “We’ve always been looking into innovating and including features that add value as well as help in addressing specific business problems. All recent trends are studied, and we keep exploring opportunities to support and leverage these trends, whether these are on AI or ML or IoT, etc. Our product leverages almost all of these technologies and has compelling features associated with Alerts, Anomaly detection, RCA, AIOps, etc.”

ENCOURAGING THE WORKFORCE

What keeps an individual motivated and dedicated to their work? Appreciation and incentives are two of the essential factors that keep employees happy and productive. At the same time, the management at Cavisson System Inc provides rewards to their employees who deliver outstanding performances, which motivates others as well to be a winner in whatever they pursue. 23

Recently, they held Expression 2020 – an Annual Day, Gala Dinner, and Awards night in January. They also held an annual sports meet in December – Cavisson Sports League.

ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR

They are also expanding through new channels – partnerships and alliances to reach out to those geographies and audience segments. The company has created a distribution and reseller network that is extending out as per their capabilities.

Digilive, shared that he always followed his heart irrespective of the circumstances around him. Mr. Vikash has an infectious positive attitude that doesn’t allow the people around him to feel grumpy. He did his Masters in Computer Applications and later pursued the noble profession of teaching. He worked as a teacher in renowned schools. He was also associated with several other reputed schools but while doing so the thought of breaking a new ground always poked him. Inspiration can knock our door anytime, but what we need to ensure is take a leap of faith and open the door to numerous golden opportunities. He always heard this voice deep down inside, that he was not meant to be a teacher forever. So, he decided to commence his start-up to provide a service platform to the entrepreneurs who are associated with major or minor enterprises. INSIGHTS ON LEADERSHIP “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” A famous quote tossed by John Quincy Adams. Mr. Vikash conveying his views on leadership says, “Leadership is something which cannot be adopted or fetched from anywhere, it is an inbuilt or self- grown ability of an individual to provide this world with a distinct vision. A leader is courageous enough to make a change on his own.

We must make sure to surround ourselves with positive people to keep the spirits high enough to provide the best in class performance in any field. If we go through the success story of the CEOs or the Founders of great start-ups, every person was once motivated to initiate and perform miracles in his journey of achievements.” Vikash Sorout | CEO/Founder 25

SOME BOOKS WOULD MOTIVATE ONE TO ATTAIN BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENTS LIKE:

• “Kotler on Marketing: How To Create, Win, And Dominate” By Philip Kotler • “Rich Dad Poor Dad” By Robert Kiyosaki, • “Think and Grow Rich” By Napoleon Hill • “You Can Win” By Shiv Khera

SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM FUTURE PLANS Biometric recognition- the automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics- is promoted as a way to help identify people, provide better control of access to physical facilities and financial accounts, and increase the efficiency of access to services and their utilization. Biometric recognition has been applied for the identification of criminals, patient tracking in medical informatics, and the personalization of social services, among other things. Despite the substantial effort, however, there remain unresolved questions about the effectiveness and management of systems for biometric recognition, as well as the appropriateness and societal impact of the use.

ENSURING THE UNBREAKABLE FAITH DukInfo Systems encourages its visitors and customers to leave reviews of their products and service. They avoid shortcuts and don’t remove negative feedback. The customers are treated like a god to them. There are even many times when the old customers came back to them and that inspires them to be faithful. The company is fully focused on putting up efforts not to lag in the race of having the latest technology by keeping their eyes and ears open and by following the latest trends as per the needs of the clients they have. They are focused on making new innovative ideas to make the work with ease.

Now, as biometric technologies appear poised for broader use, increased concerns about national security and the tracking of individuals as they cross borders have caused passports, visas, and border-crossing records to be linked to biometric data. Commercially, finger-imaging sensors, whose cost and physical size have been reduced, now appear on many laptop personal computers, handheld devices, mobile phones, and other consumer devices. Biometric Recognition through my devices will try to resolve the issues surrounding the broader implementation of this technology, making two main points: first, biometric recognition systems are incredibly complex and need to be addressed as such. Second, biometric recognition is an inherently probabilistic endeavor.

ADVICE FOR EMERGING ENTREPRENEURS The major skill that one needs to have as an entrepreneur is hard work and quest to achieve higher with fair competition. Great entrepreneurs are tasked to discover new problems, reveal potential niche opportunities, original business process and innovate. Time management, Strategic thinking, efficiency, flexibility, communication, networking, finance should be at their level best. ROLE OF R&D The role of research and development (R&D) is a valuable tool for the growth and improvement of the business. Having an R&D strategy and innovations in a business tends to have a greater chance of success as compared to the businesses that don’t. An R&D strategy can lead to innovation and increased productivity also it can boost the business’s competitive advantage.

Consequently, even when the technology and the system in which it is embedded are behaving as designed, there is inevitable uncertainty and risk of error. This book elaborates on these themes in detail to provide policymakers, developers, and researchers a comprehensive assessment of biometric recognition that examines current capabilities, future possibilities, and the role of government in technology and system development.

ENSURING EMPLOYEES CONTENT The company’s dedicated team works with full dedication. To keep the members of the team motivated to give their best on the job, the company pays them what they are 29

BCM REVIEW

THE HOW TO

IN

PREPARE FOR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

Mark Taiwan once said, “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” This thought I have been keeping in mind for a quite few years when I realized that too much worrying about something that probably doesn’t matter in my cases and never going to happen. In January I heard that a virus is spreading all across the world from China. At the moment I took simply just because of this thought. But On March 25, 2020, Indian prime minster Modi announced that India is going to be completely lockdown for 21 days. At the moment, this thought blew up. I never knew in such kind of incident is going to happen. Later, I started drawing a big picture in my mind how our lives and cities are going to look like. I’m sure most of you have pictured it as well.

Stay healthy

The more important thing to do is stay healthy. Gyms are closed and there are very few grocery stores are

Since at the moment, we are unknown and don’t know how long this virus will be around us, so I have made a few checklists to stay productive while not being fully active.

Stay Informed

running at the moment. I would highly recommend you make some exercise environment at home. You can do exercise on your terrace or in your own room. Since every junk food shops and restaurants are shut down, people are cooking foods themselves at home, which is great for our health. But don’t fall into the trap of drinking all night and sleeping all day.

The COVID 19 pandemic is making our life miserable these days, we have been instructed by the government to stay home as much as possible and keep washing hands and many more. In such a situation, there are a lot of fake news are being viral via Social media, and most people don’t know what are the truths about it. To get rid of misconception, you have to update yourself so that you can act accordingly. Here you can believe in some genuine websites. If you are looking COVID 19 pandemic related news or new update, you should check out the WHO (World Health Organization) website. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition May 2020 INDIA

Get Medical Help If You Need It

If you are sick or feeling unwell, I would suggest you make a call to your family doctor or near the hospital. Tell 36


them about your symptoms, also, you can inform doctors via mobile phone about your neighborhood illness (in case they are not going to doctor). We should lead by example in our leadership to aid our societies to return to a wealthy and healthy state. The advantage to community and overall business would be fruitful eventually.

Maintain Your Finance

just do what you like to do by staying home because the day is coming closer and once again we will back to our normal life and all of us being able to pursue our endurance again. Positively change your perspective about this situation and look at it as a productive vacation. Be grateful for what you have instead of fretting about what we don’t.

Help The Community

as we all are in quarantine and we are missing things out, but there are a lot of people who are doing much worse in this situation. In spite of lockdown, a lot of people are returning home from metropolitan towns because they don’t have enough food and essential things to live life. So, if you can help them in any way, we strongly suggest you do so. In this way, you can make lockdown successful.

Economists have been doing math since they have heard that the whole world is locked down. People have been told that the whole market will be close except for essential business. I know this is more important to prevent the virus. But the most important thing you have to consider how long your saving balance will put food on your table and pay your bills without revenue coming in. This is about deficiency control, new revenue streams, and communication. Weather, you have a business that is still running or your revenue stream is shut down for a limited period of time. You have to keep updating your customers and employees about when you are going to potentially be up and open again, and what are you providing if you are still running, and start figuring out ways to monetize things your business or brand can provide that might you never even thought before.

Although, there are a lot of NGOs and social activists are helping those people now. Recently, I watched a video where an IAS officer was distributing foods among the homeless and daily wage people. However, that is not enough for such kind of population we all have to contribute ourselves to help others.

Keep Fighting The Good Fight

currently, we all are in a very challenging time and we want to get out of this situation. At the time all we can do is follow the above steps. Also, keeping in mind those five points that keep you safe from the virus.

Be Grateful

seeing such kind of situation, it is easy to have fear and uncertainty around us, which can let us fall down the rabbit hole of depression and negativity. With every single day that passes, it will be another missed opportunity, so don’t miss it and be grateful,

One more important thing, be thankful to those doctors who are working so hard to recover coronavirus patients. 37

BCM REVIEW

Reason Most Business Don’t Get 6 Figures H

aving creative quality, we like to have work that centers on something we really care about. It is the only way we can do if we start a business. However, starting a business is not easy, it requires a lot of determination. When you make any mistake your busing start to fall down. According to SBA, more than half of new businesses get failed during the first years. That really disappointing news. When I heard this sound, I wanted to know. Why most businesses don’t get six figures. I started to listen to expert opinions and read articles and books. I got some shocking facts which people avoid subconsciously. So, if you are going to start the business, you should definitely read this article. What we are waiting for, let’s see reasons and figure out what should we do to get six figures?

NO CONCEPT OF TEAM BUILDING If you have just started a business. I’m sure you and your business partner will be the only one working there; it’s totally ok. In such a situation, you two would be doing like buy, marketing research, delivering, decision making and one of the most important finance. So that your business can come on track. However, once your business becomes established and is about to grow. You cannot approach the same formula all the time. at the time, you will have to consider it. because when you try to expand and serve more customers, you will have to hire more people. But problems occur and most of the business face so many issues at the time, when business owners cannot like to apply new rule, they think old concept we have applied and our company have been growing, this is why they constantly interfere in someone else’s work domain, it can increase the level of dissatisfaction and motivation to complete the project. If you keep doing that, it will disrupt the chain of command and generate so many issues.

WHY DO MOST BUSINESSES FAIL TO REACH SIX FIGURES? When you are starting businesses, you have to keep in mind that results could anything. But most important you have to give your 100% percent effort to become a successful businessman. Here are three things which new businessmen and small businesses do not care about at all. in the end, their business doesn’t reach three 6 figures.

companies. It is not relevant to small businesses. If you are considering exactly like that, I would say fresh up your brain try to research more about it. because you are making a big mistake, this way you won’t get your business in six figures.

SOLUTION: I know, we want to handle the business by our self. but you have to aware of something like training, motivating, delegating and many others like that. you have to invest some unique resources and make new culture in a company. in this, your business starts to grow.

Visionary is part of the business and you cannot avoid it at all. being visionary means, you have some leadership quality that should have in a businessman. Just having an implementing plan for next year or this year, this is not enough. Actually, this skill will allow you to keep business safe. By using this skill, you can analyze your business and you will know what is going on in the market and around you.

EXPERIMENTING IS CONSIDERED A TABOO: When we are starting a business, we find a good approach to run safely. This is a really good idea. but keeping way safer, it isn’t a good one. Being in the market, you have to keep experimenting to take the business to the new height. If you become limited about the business, your business scope will be limited. If you are thinking to get six figures with a limited idea. well, you have to forget about it. As I have said before having a creative idea makes us start a business, then why are you creating a line. Be innovative and always try to do something new which never has been tried before. It is called “thinking out of the box”. If this is absurd, then, do something else, all I am saying, don’t just stick with a single idea.

“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” ~ Jonathan swift. SOLUTION: As I have discussed above, as most of the new businesses keep on perceiving vision to be connected with big businesses, they become fail to implement it. in this way, there is no chance to get six figures. What you can do is, make sure you have this art, by using it, you will know a better overview of your environment. Also, you will know what is good or bad for your business.

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” ~ Ralph waldo Emerson. SOLUTION: Now the question is what can you do to reach six figures. Well, as our ancestors have said, focus on your strength, it helps you to grow your life. pricelessly I am saying, in this way, you will figure out the friendly environment to experiment. It also generates a core competency for your company. the experiment is key to grow any business.

Here I want to clarify that this my opinion these three are very significant and common things. I have discussed in this article. It also depends on your business situation. if these three things you have been following for a while and still you are facing issues. my advice for you, find a better business expert and discussed your business. I hope in this way you can reach 6 figures. Also, keep in mind without implementing the idea, you won’t know how your business becomes better.

LACK OF VISION: One of the most crucial points, a lot of people think that vision is a term which is used by multinational or giant
