I agree will be doing same. Keep uodating knowledge is one of succesful character to grow in entrepreneurship world. I do conduct online meetings to build investor and Entrepreneurship network

Entrepreneurship can be a great niche that opens a world of opportunities. I have always had a habit of keeping an eye on all types of franchising and entrepreneurial information and have been processing this for decades. This hunger and appetite for information provides me with the everyday fuel needed for a professional like me. Hence reading widely and keeping an open perspective can help you capitalise on the biggest opportunities around you.

Once you've identified a niche in which you want to grow, the next step is to start networking in it. Over 2 decades ago, I decided to make franchising as my profession and since then I have only been networking with franchise & related industry professionals across all platforms. This one single activity has compounded over the years and today i have a person connected with me across the globe for any solution that any of my client would seek. Thats the power of networking and even you can leverage it, once you do it smartly.

Social media is a two way treasure. You enrich not only by incoming information and contacts but also from what you can provide to others. Over the years, we have been able to get some of our best clients from YouTube, Linkedin, Blogs, Twitter and many other platforms by being constantly at it. I am also sure my readers gain a lot of insights from my LinkedIn posts as much as i get from leaders across the globe. So leveraging social media is not an option anymore, its an absolute compusion.

From my perspective, analyzing trends is essential to stay ahead. Using tools like SWOT analysis, I evaluate emerging trends and their potential impact on the industry. This proactive approach positions me as a forward-thinking leader who not only understands current dynamics but also anticipates future developments.

In my experience, committing to continuous learning is vital. Taking online courses, attending workshops, and pursuing further qualifications ensure I remain an expert in my field. This lifelong learning approach allows me to provide cutting-edge insights and solutions, maintaining my status as a thought leader.

In my opinion as a thought leader, actively experimenting with new ideas, technologies, and business models is essential. Embracing failure as a learning opportunity to stay informed and make informed strategic decisions in future course of action.

Experimenting with new ideas, technologies, and business models has been key. This hands-on approach helps me understand practical implications and stay ahead. Each experiment, regardless of the outcome, provides valuable learning opportunities that inform my strategic decisions and thought leadership.
