5 Fishing Quotes & Lessons On Being A Hobbypreneur & Entrepreneurship

1. Remember, A Dead Fish Can Float Downstream, But It Takes A Live One To Swim Upstream.

W. C. Fields

Most of us are accustomed to the routine. We pass through schools to get admission in college, then study through college to find a job and then the routine sets in again.

We wake up, get ready for work, get in metro or drive to work, then work through the day, get back home, watch TV, Netflix, eat and sleep. & Repeat

Somewhere in this routine, we lose our capacity to do more, to be happier, to give back more to ourselves, and to society. Somewhere we become a dead fish going with the flow and stop feeling alive.

People who strive, struggle, and work hard to swim against the flow are the ones who feel alive, are happier and more accomplished it. What better way can it be than to become a Hobbypreneur. How can you do that, here’s a quick list

If you want to get more leads, prospects or students you cannot only rely on word of mouth or possibly one or two channels of marketing. As any business, a learning centre also needs to do what bigger business do. That is they use more and more hooks to get to customers. For example, you will see a Mobile phone advertisement on newspaper, social media, TV, google search results, metro, hoardings and what not.

Remember, the market is big for every learning centre, business or tutor to get more and more students and grow sustainability. The best test of your niche will be to check, if someone else is doing it. As you would have observed a lot of time businesses are concentrated in one place.

For instance if one restaurant is doing well in a particular area, within a few days many more will come up in the same area and all will be running and getting business.

The only ask remains, even if there are plenty of fish in the sea, you need to be smart enough to catch the most of it by ensuring the following

· Never Compromise On Quality For Students

· Be Professional

· Keep Learning About Growth Techniques

· Collect Feedback From Students.
