Hey,

Nice to have you here..

If you'll let me, I'd like to start a conversation with you.

I'm Amarnath an online entrepreneur from India.. Here are some of my pics..

Ok let me tell you a little about me...

I have always been a creative guy with an adventurous streak, a total misfit with a big urge to do the unconventional stuff. Well I am a tech graduate turned Water Purifier salesman turned Design Agency owner turned Web App creator turned Web Design and Self Help blogger turned Tee Shirt Marketer turned FB Fan Page builder turned Dog Blogger...... err and few more..

However after this hell of a ride, I have sobered down a little, got married (with 2 kids:) and settled down to a quiet life of a UX Design strategist in a technology company.

Well..that's in short my life so far..

And as I said earlier I have a confession to make... I suffer from a strange 'Shiny object syndrome'. The reason I am bringing this up is because I am sure there are many among us who barely stick with an online business idea, strategy or course for no more than 1 month. And because they didn't become millionaires in 2 weeks, they quickly lose focus and move on the next BIG shinny thing!

Errr... but true!

Usually, the online entrepreneur goes through a 3 year cycle of roller-coaster-crazy-chaos. Hopeful - yes! Successful, not really. And this viciously keeps ruining lives, dreams, relationships and families.

I hate it!

Well here's how I wasted 3 years and boat load of money running behind the next big thing !!

Tried selling water purifiers via network marketing (result: failure and unsold inventory)
Started a design agency with a friend (shut down due to high marketing costs)
Created a Web Design blog (lost motivation due to slow pace of growth)
Created an inspirational Viral Video Blog.(some initial success)
God infected by FB Tee marketing fever (lost more money testing than sales)
Started a FB fanpage (some success but not consistent)
Became a Dog Blogger (great fun but no money so far.. :( )

However every tough journey teaches great lessons. I've learned mine.. Though it was painful, it was worth it, since it has helped me grow and evolve. I'm glad I have gathered so much understanding which is a reward in itself.

I look forward to sharing my experiences via a series of articles on life hacks, motivation, philosophy, productivity, yoga, design strategy, internet marketing, SEO etc with the Steemit tribe. It's always good to learn lessons from other's experiences... and avoid costly mistakes.." I am sure I can help some one think better and take good decisions in their life..

Now as I start my adventures in Steemit Land.. (my newest episode), my goal is to publish inspiring articles and nudge people towards their dreams.. because it's these dreams that make you truly alive.. truly human!!

Well, failure is part of the journey. Over the years I have come to the realization that failure is a great teacher and your best friend, for it always makes you humble and strong.

It's strange but true.. have you noticed this.. its not the TALENTED or SMART people who succeed. It's the gritty ones, those who are persistent and capable of adapting to change who finally get to enjoy the sweet taste of success.

In my life the change was getting into a new niche, learning a new skill, developing a new product or service to offer…

And sometimes the change was more personal. Changing my motivations, my work habits, coping with my dad's demise or simply developing better time management skills.

It was an immense rush of euphoria.. when I first discovered Steemit.. and whoaa!! "this is pretty powerful" I thought to myself and "this is so democratic and fair and I should give it my best shot".

I deeply believe that it's now our time to bring it, grab this opportunity and skyrocket our life beyond the stratosphere! Don't let past setbacks bog you down, remember setback are simply 'set-ups' for grander things..One of my heroes articulated it really well in this video.

Lastly. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section at the end. If you could take 30 secs to reply to this, that would make my day!

To your success,

Amarnath
