Toostep is indeed a platform with myriad possibilities where business and consultancy is concerned. I favor Viktor's Mr. Ziz's argument for one fact: Entrepreneurial attitude?? i fear that such a step would probably remain as an idea and would...

Viktor Stephen  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Ajay, and find the entrepreneural spirit lacking on toostep. Some people here, with much enthusiasm, proposed the idea of a meet of toostep members but nothing came of it. An entrepreneur is not an ideator, he must have the...

One of the mistakes I made quite a lot as a young, inexperienced entrepreneur is how to deal with advice from others, which falls into three distinct categories.  The first is the 'professional category' comprised of people provide us with a range of professional services  ranging from accountants, bookkeepers and lawyers to IT people, etc..  The second is what I refer to as the 'stakeholders group' who are of course colleagues, business partners, suppliers, customers and employees.  Finally there is the 'social group' of folks such as ex-colleagues, acquaintences, neighbours, friends and even family members who mean well, but... well, you know....  In any event I have learned over many har...

Wow. As I thought about the past eight years and what it’s been like being an entrepreneur, I was struck by how many mistakes I’ve made. I was also struck by how great those mistakes have been for my business. If it were not for all those mistakes, my business would never have grown. I would never have written a book, never have appeared on TV, never have worked with such amazing clients, never have had a chance to help people figure out their passions so they may can do work they love. I sort of grew up thinking mistakes were bad…you know, things to be avoided. I have to admit I still think this at times. It’s difficult in the moment to look at a mistake as a good thing. Luckily we have th...

If any employer want to employ any person he must put work agreement specifing the period of the employment and code of conduct for terminating the employess. If the enterpreneurs follows the above thing there is no problem
Dayanand Deshpande  |  Added idea  "Neglection "  |  3 years ago
According to me this is the biggest problem, neglecting the legal issues like thinking any legal issues can be solved later,one thinks that ok the business is up and running whatever issues are there they can be tackled later, which is not so...

I realized the other day that creating a new company for the first time is a lot like whipping up a great pasta salad for the first time – you need a recipe, even though it may look simple. You know the basic ingredients, and you can visualize the results you want. Yet you may not be so sure where to start, and how to put it all together. More... http://short.to/22fo5 .

No 1: India Since 1991, when economic liberalization unshackled India from the slow rate of growth and threw its doors open to the global economy, India has never looked back. The Knight Frank report assumes that India will shake off its current crop of social, political and economic issues and go on to the top of the heap.

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to.  Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now.  In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

In today’s increasingly crowded content marketplace, your brand needs to know how to not only  create and   implement  a content strategy that will help you achieve your pre-determined goals, but also how to  develop content  that will also help you stand out in the stream.
