Sometimes inspiring news comes from unexpected corners.
In these tough times, when business people are thinking about getting out of recession, asking till when will it last, the beggars in Delhi are already creating and executing their future plans.
My friend Subbu from Oberoi Multimedia shared this news with me. To quote the Editorial in Dinakaran: a leading tamil publication, dated May 07, 09
Beggars in Delhi are training themselves for Commonwealth Games, 2010!
“…Commonwealth Games spectators will be in for a real surprise: Indian Beggars asking for money in foreign languages! Beggar Children are training to speak (beg) in foreign languages in anticipation of the international tourist turnout.”
Why not apply this to our own businesses?
Even in these uncertain times, some events will happen with certainty. For example, the festival of Diwali is a certainty. We know it will happen in the month of October.
What other events are certain to happen?
What can we do to get the most out of them?
If we start planning from these events from today, we will have an edge over others, when the real ‘opportunity’ arrives.
In fact the competition will be as surprised as the tourists at the Commonwealth Games!
[How will you apply this learning in your business or life?]
