Biggest Lesson I've Learnt During My Entrepreneurial Journey So Far

It's been almost 2+ years ever since I started my entrepreneurial journey. The biggest lesson I've learned as an entrepreneur is that business is all about relationships & people. It's not about what you sell or buy; but all about who are you dealing with.

I know, this is bit philosophical, but it's 100% true. All you need is to talk sweet with everyone you meet or do business with. You've to be polite and nice to everyone. People love to deal with nice people. You have to gain complete control over your temper and words.

Mind well, words are what that can make or break a deal. And it applies not only to business, but everywhere. Being straightforward about negatives could be the 'way of life' for most of the people, but it won't get the things done in your favor. You've to use your conscience to determine when to be straightforward.

Just thought of sharing this with all of you. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Thanks for sharing your experience Biggie. Yes, it is true, that its all about dealing with people. For example, there are a lot of food stalls near the place I live, but I chose a particular stall to have my evening snacks just because the shopkeeper smiles at me and says a warm namaskaar everyday!

    Yes, absolutely!
    Words are indeed what makes your impression on the next person. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are!
