Let me share some of the highlights of the Awesome and memorable session. 

1.Best time to get ideas is when you wake up when the brain is in that beta state 

2.The minute you stay aligned to your purpose the money just flows in 

3. Every obstacle can be a stepping stone You need to focus on what you have (Brand story, Training etc. )

5. Great life is not only about money but about fulfillment 

6.The Key is to keep reinventing. 

7.Live in the moment 

8) Every moment of child is precious...this thinking is so divine and that has made her entire curriculum, business model pure and divine. This has attracted parents and also created path for child's overall development and Growth. 

9) Purpose of any business should be strong. All decisions, actions, business model should be in line with achieving purpose, then success and satisfaction is Guaranteed.

10) During crisis one should estimate Worst that can happen and then face the crisis. With this your confidence can be highest and without fear you can handle crisis and then you are sure to come out of crisis and win.

11) She says she is Self driven for continuous growth and development again keeping in mind purpose of business.

12) Transparency with parents has created good image of Lina and that has paid her in growth. No under table dealing and no donations etc. 

13) Her belief in "If you are not ethical then how can you teach about ethics to children. "Practice before you preach"


14) In a bad situation analyse wt worst can happen to you. Once your clear with that things will start flowing. :)

15). Know your purpose and align everything around it. Your training, your people and even your investors. Never compromise on it. 

16). Know your business, the ins and outs and I leave the technical bits + financials to the professional and close worthy family. 

17) Practice what you preach. Else, you will be seen an a hollow and a shallow person, who will neither be respected nor lauded. Loved her stand on her firm non compromise on ethics. It stood out. 

18) Maintain a no knowledge zone. Accepting that you don't know certain areas will pave way for you to be clutter free and focus on your own core competence. 

19) Zone out. As the best ideas for work come from outside work. Goa it is for her. 

20) Be childlike. I liked how she innocently answered questions without any innuendo or diplomacy. 

21) Her initial teething small or big problems if any R now shadowed in her great success which otherwise would have compelled ordinary Entrepreneur with little less qualities, vision, family background to shut the shop. 
The power of purpose is absolutely super. 
You don't need to set goals and run after them just be with your passion and then what you get is beyond imagination.

22) Constant self development is the key. 

23) She said her father left India due to the corruption, she coming to India and creating wealth without giving into the system is something that many consider impossible: her words that I can't compromise on ethics and teach students to be ethical was a good punch line / customizing the pricing model to suit the local Indian Mark was a good business decision... she could manage to sell her idea in simple terms with the credibility of her vision again a huge learning.... we wait to get to investors and here investors go to her...simplified franchisee model in which the prime criteria is whether they align with her vision of quality education and not sheer numbers is remarkable...coming back to India stock and barrel, customize the solution to Indian needs, stick to the value system to create wealth and service to the nation was a great inspiration and above all yes spending time at by travelling alone to Goa gives great results..
