Vineet’s Advice to Entrepreneurs
Vineet strongly suggests everyone to read a few books which helped him to explore new ideas, such as The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli. Some of his other favourites are Thinking, fast & slow by Daniel Kahneman and The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. He even says “Always clear thinking and clear communication works as the core for team management. Creative thinking at work will help to develop core competencies and growth hacks for the business.”
Creating detailed SOPs and continuous training of a skilled team will define the strength and scalability of every business. Moreover, the relationships which the company builds with various stakeholders are extremely crucial for the long term sustainability. There should be passion & compassion in whatever the businessman does. Try to make things as structured as possible in the startup by defining SOPs, KRAs & KPIs, communication templates and so on.
