Year 2031.
10 years from now many of us will be thankful to 2020-21, which ushered in a new change. I am sure everyone will have their own reasons to remember this unique tenure.
I started my entrepreneurial journey in the training industry towards the end of 2018. I did pretty well in 2019 but everything came crashing down in March 2020 — it appeared so in the first few months.
Ultimately this period turned out to be a blessing — a year which helped build a solid foundation for the future. I went through 3 different learning curves in the last 18 months.
I started writing a book during the first lockdown in 2020 which was subsequently published in the last summer. The book “Be Your Boss” went on to become an Amazon #1 Best Seller in its category in India and the US. The book was about developing an entrepreneurial mindset and found readers across all segments.
I started delivering live online sessions towards the end of 2020 and was lucky to have a fair share of overseas participants mainly from US, Canada, Middle East and South East Asia.
I launched my self paced courses in the summer of 2021. A few of the well known corporates have now subscribed to these course for their employees.
We all grew up with the statement — “Change is the only constant,” but never before have we encountered change at such a rapid pace. Each one of us will need to keep evolving and embrace this change.
What would some of us be saying in 2031? Thank you 2020-21, you made us realise our potential!
