the beginning of a story...

Yesterday we had our punjabi friends for dinner with her parents. uncle is a retired bank manager. The talks gradually centered around his post retirement life. He told me his very intresting experience and the general thought process of a salaried employee.

Power supply is a constant problem in his place and inverters are "must at home" products. One of his friends suggested he take up dealership for inverters. Uncle flatly refused.
how can I do it,
I dont know the product,
I dont have marketing knowledge,
I dont have this...
I dont have that...
And one fine day he went to his bank, there was a new manager who welcomed him cordially. "Sir i've heard quite a lot about you. You were one of the bold decision makers and got considerable profit to the bank. Infact the small but thought changes you brought in the bank earned us a long list of customers. Its my pleasure meeting you".
Uncle came back home and started thinking. I took so much initiative for my employer. I worked for the benefit of someone who payed me a monthly income, though I could've just functioned the routine way. Then what should stop me from working for my own benefit?
And so a new initiative was born. With just 6months in the field and well established contacts, forget break-even, Uncle walks to his bank with a good prfit in hand every month...

there begins a new the story in his life...
