DETERMINATION Dear Readers! When Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “I have a dream…”, the people of USA came together with a solemn determination of doing and changing the destiny of the country. A determined Eklavya learnt the art of archery. A determined Gandhi galvanised the country to lead India to freedom and became a mahatma.

DETERMINATION way forward… Describe success for yourself
D
Everyone has different attributes for success. Some want money, some fame, some peaceful living and some even wish to come out of their physical constraints. What are your factors? You can only move towards what you aspire.
Evaluate readiness realistically
E
Old poem, “Standing on the foot boys and gazing at the sky, how can you get there boys, if you never try.” A dream without readiness to accomplish is hallucination. How badly do you want to achieve? What can you give to achieve? Look inside before you act outside.
Take care in setting targets
T
Each step should take you towards your goals. Determine these goals so that it is easy for you to work backwards and evolve your action plan. Be clear in setting these goals. Take help if needed. Use simple measurable language to guide your way forward.
Establish plans
E 6
Plans take care of all the small steps that help you move towards the goals which you have established. Ensure that there are no loose links and confusing paths. Take time. Test check. Follow what Japanese says, “When we plan we don’t do, when we do, we don’t plan.” Pneumonic DETERMINATION is the intellectual property of Rajiv Khurana

DETERMINATION way forward‌ Refine and define boundaries
R
It's hard to accomplishing things, even when you're determined, if you don't have a clear idea of what you're accomplishing and what is outside of that limit. Being clear about your boundaries will make accomplishing things much easier.
Make-up your momentum
M
How do you cover the distance of 10,000 kms.? One step at a time. Momentum is critical. Optimum stress is vital. Above the optimum leads to burn-out while performing below the potential leads to a peculiar stage of rust-out. Where do you wish to see yourself?
Invest in skills and self-upgradation
I
The Olympians prepare for years to participate in a race that may get over in less than 10 seconds. They prepare themselves each day physically and mentally to overcome all odds and enhance their calibre. They consistently challenge themselves and overcome them.
Nurture flexibility and positivity
N 7
Murphy’s law applies to all. If everything is to go right, something may go wrong. Change perspective. Change plan. In a competitive world, having a plan B is not sufficient. We need the vibrancy of plan C, D or E. Refrain from negativity. Keep improving the +ves. Pneumonic DETERMINATION is the intellectual property of Rajiv Khurana

DETERMINATION way forward… Act confident
A
Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself, no matter how bad things are looking. Self-confident people experience a hurdle and believe that they can overcome it. Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself, no matter how bad things are looking.
Tolerate set-backs to bounce-back
T
Fear of failure is one of the main things that stops people from gaining their goals, however determined they think they are. Great sportsmen have faced failures and setbacks. They go back to prepare. Leave things behind and bounce-back with new vigour and will.
Imagine success and it’s impact
I
Visualization matters. Whatever you think for yourself, you would be right. When you have set clear goals and have built the momentum and are moving with all gusto, start imagining the fruits of success. Relish them in your mind to improve your hunger for success.
Off-time, breaks and hobbies
O 8
We have grown up with the saying, “all work and no joy makes…”, you perhaps a very boring and tired person. Recuperate regularly. Form some hobbies and interests. Find time for them. Bring variety to bring spark back in your life and pursuits. Rejuvenating is for all times. Pneumonic DETERMINATION is the intellectual property of Rajiv Khurana

DETERMINATION way forward… Next actions readiness after accomplishments
N
Accomplishments are important. What after that? Can you stay in the past glory to repeatedly tell the future generations? Perhaps not, lifting your targets, making them tougher and thriving higher would prove you to yourselves. Outside world comes later.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. -Calvin Coolidge
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. - Colin Powell Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence that will enable you to attain the success you seek. -Mario Andretti We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. -Jesse Owens

Family ventures in India serve as the backbone of the economy. Name any field of business or social initiative, and families in India would have played a pivotal role. Family businesses have their own unique style and culture which keep evolving over the time. Market opportunities have been expanding globally; technology has been helping in the need and speed of delivery and the social and family milieu has created new dimensions in control and decisionmaking power-centres, besides the newer generation aspiring for new avenues or seeking a higher and faster stake in the enterprise. Complexities have been rising and so has the commitment to succeed. Globally, businesses are seeking professional MENTORS for advice, strength and support.
