Entrepreneurship Lessons From My Home
Just another day of my mom spitting entrepreneurial facts.
Riya Asrani
If you smile every time you see my name pop up on the internet, I love you. If youāre baffled at how I continue to put myself out thereāwell, bestie, Iāve been asking myself the same thing. Regardless, I wanted to leave you with something invaluable. Something so precious that my mum just weaved into my life casually.
Here are three lessons I swear by while trying to build my business (from my motherās brain, delivered to yours):
Lead with empathy: That woman is the epitome of patience, kindness, and gentleness. It comes so naturally to her. Sheās always just like, āIf you canāt be empathetic, then what are you?ā I donāt know, Mum, we shall have this existential crisis sometime later
Be willing to change: She heard āpivotā and really made her whole damn thing. She had her daycare/tutoring thing; she can sew, knit, and crochet; she took care of us and the family, and to this day, continues to learn new things
Always have a safety fund(s): This person has a safety fund for her safety fund. Even though she approaches everything with complete determination, sheās not afraid of failure. And she does it smartly! Please, imma cry
Basically, treat your business like your baby, and youāll be just faaaine. Everything I am (and will be) is because of her. All Iām trying to say is: let your dreams run wild, okay?
I love yapping!
