Highlighting the need for creating a balanced, productive, and satisfied life, Mr. Shah spoke about the concept of time management from the perspective of ‘personal’ approach to managing priorities, people, and crises. Explaining the significance of the universally accepted ‘Time Management Matrix’, Mr. Shah demonstrated the common loopholes and challenges faced by modern entrepreneurs and, through interactive sessions, showcased a step by step format of achieving the desired results in productive and successful life through effective management of time. He also highlighted the programs offered by the Napoleon Hill Foundation in India and shared a special package exclusively for ASIRT members. Speaking about the need for such sessions and how through the Napoleon Hill Foundation he aims at creating a wider base for supporting Indian entrepreneurs, Mr. Shah said, “Time management and how much one respects and values time, is a crucial differentiator in success. Be it superstars and billionaires or budding entrepreneurs, all your knowledge and 4 year management degrees cannot guarantee success as much as a consistent, disciplined approach to time management, which is the essential key to leveraging success along with world-class principles of ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napolean Hill. These can empower & help every entrepreneur or start-up, with skill sets required to make them successful in the 21st century.”
The session was highly engaging and Members participated wholeheartedly, taking away significant insights into creating a more fulfilling personal and professional life.
