Have you ever tried changing your brain? I mean, improving the motor function of your brain? I guess not. Most of us never try changing our brains’ motor function and live with our same brain life-long. And no wonder most of us find it hard to change our lives beyond a point.

This book is about how neuroplastic transformation helps people overcome serious illness and help them develop new skills. Last year I wrote …
In June of 1991, I had just joined Dyanora TV. I was new to the company. It was my first job as a Branch Manager controlling half Madhya Pradesh (including Chhattishgarh) and was putting all my energy and efforts to impress the management, but things were not going well.

“I make people fall in love with brands.”or“I am a storyteller.” I find these lines in the introduction of many advertising agency professionals. It is the world; advertising professionals love ❤️ to live and die. That’s their life. They want to be artists. Selling a product is tough.

Creativity has no price tag, and treating brand as “a piece of art” allows raising hefty creative bills. Also, creativity can’t be measured beyond …
Everyone wants to know the mantra of successful product launch strategy but very few could crack it. I happen to have worked with one such person who could crack the mantra and was able to use the formula of successful product launch strategy again and again. The person’s name is Ramesh Chandra Agarwal, founder, and owner of Dainik Bhaskar Group. In the late 1990s and early 2000, the Dainik Bhaskar product launch strategy was most talked and discussed everywhere.

Will you call a CEO successful or an Entrepreneur – this was the topic of debate yesterday when I met an old friend; a working professional turned in to an entrepreneur last six years.
