Never be a workaholic..

When I joined the IT industry, had so many butterfly dreams as many others.. .

Getting a word of appreciation, being motivated, showing a mark of uniqueness etc , etc.. the list goes on.

My dreams were built upon my motto. And no doubt, that I was pretty happy even under my tight schedule and work pressure. But later on, experiences proved that my motto was not adequate in a professional world. It lacked a BUSINESS EYE.

Let me share a few lessons which I experienced.  I am quite sure that whatever may be the profession, a business eye is the most essential thing required.

1. Give and Take policy : When you offer ‘x’ to someone today, ensure that you get 2X tomorrow
2. Never allow others to take your shoe until you get a better one.
3. Understand that Managers are always “Managers”. Every manager will have a business eye upon your talents. With a few inspiring words, a manager could easily convert you talents to profit. Ensure you also get your share of profit. If you believe your managers blindly, you are lost.
4. Do protest when you are sure of positive results. Otherwise quietly quit.
5. The last, but the most important is ‘why don’t you think about becoming your own boss’.. Be an entrepreneur..
