When working for yourself, you have seen enough ZEROES in your bank.
Then giving service to others and make HEROES is your new purpose.
This was told to me by someone sitting next to me in business class on an International flight. This statement had a profound impact on me. I got the sense of what my NEW purpose should be. I was on mission to find how can I be of service to others & make HEROES in real life.
Normally when we think of being service to others, we think about Charity, Giving money or time to social cause, helping downtrodden, start NGO. Honestly I don’t see it that way. I believe the best service we can is give our best, our best skill, knowledge, experience to assist in fulfilling someone’s mission. ONE thing I had great experience & knowledge was of Starting Up & Entrepreneurship. I was beginning to wonder Whats Next & how I can be of service to others.
As written by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist: If you wish for something from your heart, the entire universe will try to get it for you. These words were repeated by Shah Rukh Khan in movie Om Shanti Om.
I got an opportunity to work which was leading to the new purpose in my life. The opportunity was to work in Jaipur, Rajasthan as Ernst & Young Project manager consulting DoITC, Government of Rajasthan to develop startup ecosystem iStart fostering entrepreneurship & innovation in the State.
