Entrepreneurial Lessons from Amitabh Bachchan


3. Always keep your promises – “Lalsingh jaan de dega magar jabaan nahin jaane dega”

An entrepreneur must keep on his promises. He only is accountable for the promises made by his company to its customers.

Amitabh Bachchan always honoured his promise to his producer and director friends - as he rightly said in one of his films, ‘Lalsingh jaan de dega magar jabaan nahin jaane dega.’

2. Calm and Composed Amitabh Bachchan teaches “Never to Lose Control”

An entrepreneur can never succeed in business even if placed in the best economy if he doesn’t know how to be self-disciplined. Discipline starts with self control and self control is a product of a strong self imposed personal standard.

Entrepreneurs must learn from Amitabh Bachchan, who never speaks rubbish about anyone. He speaks little and speaks with calculation.

1. His different roles teaches “Keep Experimenting”

Big B always experimented with the roles he played. He tried his hands at all possible roles. Black to Nishabd to Cheeni Kam to The Last Lear to latest project, Mehrunnisa.

To succeed, an entrepreneur must regulate his impulses and have the imagination to see what the future would be like if he tried something new. He should be open to new ideas.
