Ravi Kikan has just published his second Bounce Back Now that might just come handy for everyone with some actionable tips especially for aspiring entrepreneurs, growth bound startups, professionals, homemakers, students who are either planning or have launched their business in these tough times and now looking to bounce back and grow.
Bounce Back Now also has been trending among the top new releases on Amazon.
If you are someone who is looking to bounce back now in challenging times then the first thing you need to do is ‘motivate yourself’ and prepare for it. It is no rocket science, it is a mere play of taming and doing things with a process orientation. Your past failures should never stop you to bounce back now. There is always hope, there is always opportunity, there is always that thin line that you need to cross with keeping just one thing in mind, ‘the will to succeed’.
Bounce Back Now is a collation of suggestions and experiences that have been handpicked as ‘practical actionable tips’ to help people bounce back and understand organic growth for self and business even during tough times like this current pandemic.
The book also takes a peek into how and what should a growth mind-set have?
There is nothing called ‘menial work’ when it comes to your work or business that you are doing. All you need is a will, strong sense of purpose and a direction to get things done. This is the foundation to the growth mind-set. It is not just building great tech products only or otherwise, you can still be rocking in whatever you do, all you need is that growth and progressive mind-set.
Ravi also talks about and addresses the need for the right human capital in the book with the right mind-set. “Whether you are a #Startup #Enterprise or an #SMB if you get this right you are really sorted. Trust me this one too. Especially in tough times, it is the human capital that helps you in bouncing back and there is no other alternative way. A smart set of like-minded, collaborative people are the reason why some organisations not only sustain during tough times but also grow like a rockstar.”
The book also touches bases and defines how and what you should be thinking when it comes to words like success and achievement. It is a simple way to explain and share the perspective to grasp and implement.
This book also addresses a very pertinent cause that is very close to Ravi’s heart. Says Ravi Kikan: “It is my endeavour to support individuals who might be in a closed state of mind, pessimistic, depressed or might have failed in their previous efforts. Having gone through the time and again, I feel this is a key thing to be addressed. This is like the elephant in the house. The content in this book is also about hope (beyond just business), practical actionable tips and I have tried my very best to handhold the reader as much as I can in this whole book journey to bounce back and grow. Remember tough times never last but tough people do.”
Why this book?
Ravi Kikan adds: “When you are struggling, the best thing you can do is to reach out to people who can share hope and can guide you to the right direction. Reaching out to people who already have experienced that state of mind or have had multiple experiences in the same domain can give you a great understanding on how unchartered territories would most likely be. This lays the foundation of a bounce back mind-set both for growth and scaling up. This book addresses that.”
The broad level objective for publishing the book is to ensure and support everyone who is trying to bounce back in life or business, that's both the aim and purpose. Lot of serial entrepreneurs, experts, founders from across the globe have also contributed their point of view in this book.
Prasad Rajappan, Founder & CEO of ZingHR has also shared his POV on Outcomation® in this book. He shares: “The most important thing that an entrepreneur should know is to sustain and retain his composure and business acumen during tough times. Glad at ZingHR we not only have done that but we are now planning a massive expansion across India and Outside India, thanks to our amazing team and positive mind-set. While we believe it important to sustain business in tough times, it is equally important to stick to your Core Values and Ethics in dealing with all your stakeholders including your competition. Never deviate from this. These are some of the reasons that still being just a seed funded venture, we have turned out profitable with average client engagement of 8-9 years.”
Raghav Belavadi, Founder & CEO- Hype Luxury Mobility also shares: “Tough times are great times to internalise our beliefs and conviction. This internal housekeeping provides ample time to fix the edges and get completely ready for the new scenario as this phase shall pass too. Often we are more broken inside than outside and I advise founders to take this as a great opportunity to hit the drawing board, rework, repair and get ready. Trust me, you can transform yourself into a totally new person at the end of the passing tough phase.”
