6 Inspirational Movies Every Entrepreneur Must Watch

Entrepreneurs, however ambitious and goal driven maybe, have a deep and peace-loving side to them. You too possess an intuition and need to clear your mind every now and then. Your contribution matters and is of great significance, a simple fact we all need to remember. We all make mistakes but clearing one’s mind after, and capitalizing on it as a growth lesson is what differentiates successful entrepreneurs for the herd.

Here are 5 spiritual destinations to enlighten the entrepreneur in you!

1. Puducherry – Auroville:

A universal experimental township in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. In the mid 1960’s the concept was put before the Government of India and UNESCO, in 1966 they passed a unanimous resolution commending it as a project of importance to the future of humanity, thereby giving their full encouragement. What can you do there? Visit & stay, volunteer & intern, study, join & enjoy workshops & therapies with the option of donating, shopping and a lot more. An ideal destination to meet like-minded people, with the intention of growing and developing ourselves.

2. Gandhinagar – Akshardham:

Located in the capital of Gujarat, it’s a large Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan and inspired by Pramukh Swami and his life and teachings. Akshardham is a place of education, entertainment and enlightenment, a miracle worked by the sacrifice of thousands of volunteers. The complex has 5 exhibition halls with audio-visual presentation and life-sized dioramas to explore various themes in Hinduism, one of the most powerful experiences of Indian culture we can experience in current times. They also have a water show and the opportunity to explore a course in Social Harmony too! Visiting this place will mentally uplift you in a manner, no other place may.

3. Himachal Pradesh – Hills:

In order to free yourself from your thoughts, all you need is mountain-hills-snow and fresh air which the Himachal hills can provide, naturally. It’s not an escape route but more of a hibernation zone you can explore to cut off from this fast pace world. We aren’t recommending this location because Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs were here, but the hills & the surrounding atmosphere helps a person to rejuvenate and apply new thoughts to live life. A spiritual destination, especially for the adventure lovers.

4. Dharamshala – Kangra Valley:

The Dalai Lama’s residence and the Central Tibetan Administration is in Dharamshala city, it is one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra Modi’s flagship “Smart Cities Mission”. Apart from the obvious, one of the main attractions of Dharamshala is Triund hill, a one day trek at the upper reaches of McLeodGanj.
So as an entrepreneur, you may also be fascinated by the political relationship between India-China and Tibet. This place is one of the most recommended destinations for the ones who are in search of peace, harmony, snow-capped mountains, along with adventurous activities! We recommend a movie, “Seven years in Tibet” which will thoroughly inspire you to go to this location. Don’t think twice, visit Dharamshala.

5. Amritsar – Punjab:

It’s the spiritual capital of the Sikhs and has gained its name, “Amritsar – Holy Pool of Nectar” from the body of water around the Golden Temple. The exquisite Golden Temple and the vibe around the location are unmatched and attract pilgrims from all over the world who come there to pay their respects and do voluntary service. The temple complex is open for almost 20 hours every day, with free food served to all, irrespective of their religion, cast or creed. The corporate jungle with its fearsome competitive environment, sometime takes over the human side of us. Food & local beverages, farms, Royal Enfield rides, music, volunteering work, Indo-Pak relation and Pehlwani & Kusti – this place is all encompassing.

The more we see the more we realize that life is meant to be lived happily. There is no cultural or corporate barrier to happiness. So take some time off, pack your bags and visit one of these places, immediately. Your soul is trying to speak to you. We say, high time you travel and listen to that voice.

If you are finding a healthy workplace, look for business centre in Bengaluru or co-working space in Lower Parel, Mumbai.

A dream is easy to harbor but requires discipline and dedication, in reality. Most of the times it has been noticed that people make big plans but rarely execute them. While it’s not easy to set things into motion, it is not impossible either. We say, list down your ideas and then follow the following suggestions to help build long lasting creative habits.

1. Always foresee the bumps:

It’s always better to anticipate potential roadblocks. You never know when you might get stuck due to multiple reasons, such as, a writer’s block or lack of inspiration. So when that moment arises do not get frustrated, rather focus on how to best cope up with it. What really helps is taking a day off to conquer the problem and start with a fresh mind the next day.

2. Create boundaries to separate your personal life:

Treat your writing time and place as a sanctum. If you are in the middle of your creative time and you get calls from family, push this aside as long as they are not urgent calls. The best way to stay out of this is to keep social media away and phone silent whilst your creative side is at its best. This is a good way to keep distractions at an arm’s length and produce some of your best work.

3. Don’t break the chain of thought:

The more time you put into your task at hand the more confident you get. Research is the first step towards your creative project which serves as a foundation and takes your work to great heights. So in order to not break the creative process, delegate some time every day to creativity even if it involves staring at a piece of paper . Eventually, seeing the number of days delegated to this at the end of every month, will thoroughly inspire you.

4. Look for fresh insights:

In order to get a fresh perspective you need to let yourself free of your comfort zone and think from another space. It always adds to the same idea that you have been working on. Another really interesting way is by connecting with a new set of people and getting to know them. You just never know where your ideas get shaped into a success story.

5. Reward yourself:

Positive enforcement drives you towards your objectives. Set goals and when you achieve them give yourself a pat on the back. Go for a movie, pamper yourself, buy your favourite book and make yourself feel like a winner. You totally deserve it!

Need some creative time out? We suggest follow these points, create your reality and then narrate your success story to the world. You are very close to it!

All you need is to place a team within a network of shared office spaces.

The world, as we know it, is changing and the effects are going to impact us for a long time to come, especially how we work. With organizations already implementing Work from Home and other remote working options, the global work culture has largely changed.

As the initial brouhaha of the migration of the work infrastructure subsided, people are realizing the benefits of remote working. Despite initial physical and emotional adjustments with the new work practice, both companies and employees are now in favour of telecommuting.

Could this be the future of the workspace? And if yes, then how can companies/professionals manage their workforce remotely?

For starters, WFH does have multiple advantages like convenience, cost benefits, and needless to say, a better work-life balance. Studies have shown that a home office radically cuts down an employee’s monthly costs, including travel, meals, and office wardrobe. Imagine saving that entire percentage of your income and also being able to work in a space you are most comfortable in!

By saving the travel time, one can utilize the same for work or personal needs. Also, as you spend more time at home, it lets you spend more time with your family and yourself, without compromising on valuable work hours. It enhances the work-life balance that every professional struggles to achieve today.

However, it is not just employees but also the companies that benefit from the reduced costs. If a company has more than half its workforce operating out of their homes, it can cut down on its establishment cost by transitioning into a distributed working model. With reduced overheads, it will boost organizational savings, which could be redirected to developmental initiatives.

Along with major benefits, WFH does bring with it the issue of proper infrastructure and support that one requires to work effectively and smoothly; power outage, internet issues, connectivity issues, and not to mention, the lack of a professional office environment are a few issues that could be of concern.

Ergo, with the help of expert infrastructure partners, companies can provide the right tech solutions, IT support, connectivity, physical infrastructure that will help their employees work better, smarter, and stay productive. Organizations can have a multi-pronged approach of working at home, near home, probably at a nearby coworking space, and a head office as a viable solution. This will allow seamless remote working enabled by tech support and a fully functional office setup.

It is time we accept the fact that even if work-life resumes soon, it will never be the same. And even when we start exploring the outdoors, we will see the evolution of entirely new work culture of ‘Distributed Working’ – WFH + WNH (Work Near Home) + Office.

This newer model retains the practice of working from home, and yet allows professionals to be in a well-designed work environment, supported by proper infrastructure. It’s imperative that organizations assess their employee and managerial wfh sentiment and suitability to gauge the organizational readiness as a whole for work from home effectiveness.

Our latest product offering https://gomile.awfis.com/inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg@home is designed to cater to these organizational needs. It assesses employee, manager and organizational readiness, provides customized solutions for physical and IT infrastructure along with an integrated tech platform for employee management.

The impact of this all-new work practice could also go a long way in building a work culture that respects and encourages every individual’s needs, promotes trust within the team, sets clear expectations, and ensures accountability, by emphasizing more on communication than ever before.

Post lockdown, the new and improved is what we need to prepare for, for professional success, business growth, but most importantly, for the health of the society at large.
