Peter Cox’s leadership dynamics process helps entrepreneurs globally achieve success

Peter Cox’s leadership dynamics process helps entrepreneurs globally achieve success

In India and elsewhere, one is witnessing rapid growth in the number of entrepreneurs. Many individuals across the world now have the courage to turn their unique ideas into a business venture. However, business or entrepreneurship is a field where you need guidance and mentoring at every step. This is where leadership experts like Peter Cox come into the picture.

Over 20 years ago, Peter launched his company Leadership Dynamics off the back of the success of his first business, to train entrepreneurs and provide them with the right guidance on how to lead people effectively so that they could achieve all that they wish to in their professional career. From building a new business team to nurturing it in a way that it grows at a steady pace, Peter has been helping entrepreneurs in different ways.

Elaborating on what drives him as a leadership expert, Peter says, “Good leadership equals a good culture. Bad leadership always produces a bad one every time. Your product is not your product, people are your real product. You need to ensure your people are thriving in the right culture before you’ll do anything great together.

You cannot put every entrepreneur in the same bracket. After analyzing the nature of their business and the ideas in their mind, I guide entrepreneurs towards realizing their true potential and achieving their short-term and long-term objectives by growing their leadership and the potential of their people.”

Although Leadership Dynamics was started in Australia, Peter has worked with entrepreneurs globally. Peter is now reaching out to Entrepreneurs in India with his Leadership Dynamics Process. Since Peter’s father was born in Mumbai in the year 1935, he has a special place in his heart for India and has travelled there many times for business and pleasure.

Talking about the same, he says, “I have interacted with a lot of Indian entrepreneurs and have been truly inspired by their ideas and endeavours. I admire the fact that many of the entrepreneurs, who have come from smaller towns and villages, have achieved enormous success despite limited resources at their disposal. In the last couple of years, some of the most innovative entrepreneurs in the world have emerged from India. I am keenly looking forward to introducing the wonderful entrepreneurs in India to our leadership and mentoring programs.”

While Peter has not yet made inroads in India, he has mentored a number of India-born entrepreneurs who live in Australia. Rejin Rajan and Darshan Chavan, two entrepreneurs of Indian origin who co-founded Get My Course, reached out to Peter in early 2020 and greatly benefitted from his guidance. They’re now on track to becoming one of the top 100 fastest-growing companies in Australia. Many other individuals and businesses in Australia and elsewhere have grown tremendously as entrepreneurs, helped by the mentorship provided to them by Peter.

“Our mission has always been ‘to build stronger leaders to live better lives’. Today, most entrepreneurs suffer from a great amount of stress. As you move forward in your journey as an entrepreneur, you must look after your health and make sure that you are happy and calm from within. It is important to give time to your family and look after their needs. Among other things, we teach entrepreneurs how to strike a fine balance between their personal and professional lives”, says Peter.

Peter has spent the last 34 years building culture and people in his first business which is now in 29 countries and boasts of a sales force of over 15,000. Some of the most successful SME or small-to-medium enterprises across the world credit their success to Peter and his company Leadership Dynamics. He has empowered entrepreneurs and helped them gain the confidence to run successful businesses. Now that he is all set to enter the Indian market, one can expect many more exciting things to happen. All the relevant details about Peter’s initiatives can be read on the website https://www.leadershipdynamics.com.au.

Investment vs Savings – Key differences and when to choose

Investment vs Savings – Key differences and when to choose

Savings and investment are two different concepts that people usually misjudge. You need in-depth knowledge of both plans to see the difference between savings and investment. Wondering what is the difference between saving and investing?

Let’s first understand what each term means. Keep reading to know the details:

Investment

It refers to the asset or any valuable item acquired to generate income or appreciation. It refers to the process of using money or capital to buy the assets that can help you develop a safe and acceptable rate of return over time. Some investment options include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, derivatives, real estate, and anything that can produce income, usually in the form of interest or rents, among others.

Savings

Savings refers to the amount left after spending from the disposable income. It is the money you put aside for future use rather than spending immediately to meet short-term needs. Savings helps to keep you financially secure during uncertain, unpredictable times. Money can also be saved with the motive to purchase expensive items that are too costly to buy with monthly income.

Investment vs Savings

Now that you know what investment and savings mean, here is the difference between savings and investment.

Meaning

Investment is the process of using your money with the aim of making it grow in a specified time. While savings refers to putting money aside gradually, especially into a bank account, with the motive to stay financially secure during emergencies.

Purpose

Investment is specially made with the motive to provide returns and helps in capital formation. To fetch the best investment result, you must do thorough research before investing. At the same time, savings are made with the motive of fulfilling short-term and urgent requirements.

Risk

Savings is a risk-free plan with no risk associated with losing money. If you are a risk-averse individual and want to make your money grow and stay saved for uncertain times, you must always prefer saving. Whereas, at the same time, investment is a bit risky option. Therefore, it requires profound research to predict whether the investment will be fruitful or not–the more the risk, the higher chances of gaining a considerable amount. Thus, for risk lovers, investment is the best option.

Returns

Since investments are risky options; therefore, they even fetch comparatively higher returns to the investors compared to the savings return, which is either zero or significantly lower.

Liquidity

It’s challenging to fetch the cash from your asset instantly, or in case you need instant money. Therefore, the investments are less liquid. At the same time, savings are highly liquid since you will have cash ready in your hand to meet immediate requirements.

Below is the table to summarize the difference between savings and investment

Characteristics – Savings:

Account Type: Bank

Returns: Fixed returns

Risk: Risk-free option to save your money

Products: Savings accounts, CDs

Time Horizon: Includes a shorter tenure

Liquidity: Most liquid form

Characteristics – Investing:

Account Type: Demat account, ULIP plans

Returns: Comparatively higher returns

Risk: Risk-prone (invest based on your risk appetite)

Products: Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, assets, ULIPs

Time Horizon: Longer tenure, i.e., at least five years and above

Liquidity: Less liquid, as you need time to get cash in hand from the amount you have invested

Conclusion

Savings and investment both have their importance and the requirements dictate which way to go. You cannot randomly choose to go for savings or investments. You have to know the difference, understand the pros and cons and then take a decision. Now that you know the difference between savings and investment, you must make an informed decision regarding where you must invest your money. You can save for your emergency and invest for achieving long-term financial goals.

There are various plans from different insurance providers. For example, Kotak Life offers Savings and investment plans both. If you are looking for some, you can go for, Kotak e-Invest and Kotak Guaranteed Savings Plan.

With the release of “YES AND NO/G” in 2020, the duo embarked on an innovative sound makeover that foreshadowed a “new DREAMS COME TRUE,” and with their latest album “DOSCO prime,” they have adopted a conversion approach of deconstructing and reconstructing their own songs.

In 2021, they released the single “Tsugino seno! De – ON THE GREEN HILL -“. This miraculous song was created by adding “Green Hill Zone” written by Masato Nakamura, the main theme song of the game “Sonic the Hedgehog”, which has been remembered and loved by people all over the world for 30 years , to a new melody and a lyrics by Miwa Yoshida.

Miwa Yoshida wrote the English poem for “Tsugino seno! De – ON THE GREEN HILL -” and the completed song “UP ON THE GREEN HILL from Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone – MASADO and MIWASCO Version -” will be the Japanese-language theme song for the movie “SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2” to be released in 2022. In addition, “Tsugino seno!

In recent years, DREAMS COME TRUE’s virtual characters “MASADO & MIWASCO” debuted at “VTuber Fes Japan 2021” and performed live at the world’s first official Paralympic Games “The Pegasus Dream Tour,” and expectations are high for their future activities in both the real and virtual worlds.

C Elina Sangtam Crowned With The Title Of Miss Fit India International at IHFF Fitness Festival in New Delhi

C Elina Sangtam Crowned With The Title Of Miss Fit India International at IHFF Fitness Festival in New Delhi

Fitness has always been a big part of C Elina Sangtam’s life. She is somebody who has often spoken about the importance of physical and mental well-being in one’s life. In the last several years, Sangtam has won several beauty pageants and has made India proud with her achievements.

While the world recognizes her as a beauty queen, she has been an inspiration to the youth of the country because of her dedication towards fitness. Sangtam, who hails from Nagaland, was recently Miss Fit India International. The event was organized at IHFF Fitness Festival in New Delhi and attended by luminaries from different professions. Sangtam was crowned by Mr. Sergi Constance, a prominent model, and actor from Spain who has often been described as the king of body building.

Talking about this win, an elated Sangtam says, “Though I have won important titles in the past, getting crowned Miss Fit India International was a very special moment for me. I am somebody who has always believed in leading a life that is filled with activities that lead us towards holistic well-being. If you are physically and mentally fit, you can achieve anything in this world. Being conferred with this title has made me feel further responsible for spreading the message of fitness and a healthy lifestyle.”

With time, beauty pageants have evolved greatly. Now, many pageants award titles to contestants based on several important aspects like health and fitness. Miss Fit India International is a pageant that judges contestants based on their fitness level. Sangtam believes that such pageants are playing an important role in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
