Take charge of your life, get things done and live life on your own terms as a successful entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship is more than just making money. It is about the one word - freedom. Humans, by nature, want to be free. It is not just about living in a free and prosperous country but being independent to take your decisions. You want to control your destiny and take charge of your life. You want to be your own boss. This is the very essence of entrepreneurship.
It is not easy being an employee
Gone are the days when only entrepreneurs worked more than 40 hours a week. Today, one needs to work across time zones and handle clients all over the world, even as an employee. The work doesn't stop at 5 pm.
Success as an entrepreneur depends on many personal attributes.
The author Vikas Bansal has nearly two decades of corporate experience and now runs his own venture based out of India. This book captures his personal journey from an employee to an entrepreneur. He has personally lived by the principles mentioned in the book. The book has many examples of his personal and professional life and of his immediate family. You will be able to relate to some of these examples.

We will explore the 3 pillars of entrepreneurship.
What is a person good at vs what does he really want to do? Most people are caught up in this dilemma in the corporate world.
How does one become a successful businessman or what does it take to be successful? People are not born entrepreneurs and many of the success attributes can be acquired with focus and practice.
- We need to look at our strength - the skills we possess and way to improving on them further. We need to identify what we want to do in our lives or as Carmine Gallo says - "What makes your heart sing?" It is about enjoying your work to the extent it becomes effortless.
- A successful entrepreneur needs to master the art of establishing connect with people and cementing a few of these relationships. The book outlines a few ways to do the same.
- Success is 99% attitude. Well, some say it is 100% attitude. What really is attitude and how can an entrepreneur develop a great one? The book finally delves deeper into the aspect of character.
