A seven-week powerful program for managers, entrepreneurs and people with passion.
Live with Om Swami.
Leadership Program
A Method to
Madness
It may seem daunting, even out of reach, but building a successful career or a profitable company is not as hard as it may appear. The principles of personal and business growth remain the same. I have created this program to replicate the success I've had with some of my life-coachees I've been mentoring on a one-on-one basis. I felt more people would benefit if I could share the wisdom and learning with a smart group of aspirants who wished to take their careers and ventures to the next level. Hence, this program: walk the dragon. Because building a business is exactly like walking the dragon. Once tamed, it's immensely powerful. Until then, you'd better watch out.
People succeed for different reasons but they fail for the same ones. Understand what it takes to succeed.
This special leadership and entrepreneurship program will be conducted by Om Swami to help you build successful careers and profitable companies.

Program Structure
Walk the Dragon is unlike any other program I've ever conducted. To make it meaningful and to ensure that you derive maximum benefit, it is imperative that you set aside about six hours every week for the entire duration of the program.
Every Sunday talk of mine will be followed by a 30-min Q&A with the participants. You will be recommended a book for reading in your own time before the next session. Plus, there will be a case study every week.
1-hr live talk
30-min live Q & A
Optional Case Study

Every week you will need to commit roughly six hours to the following activities:
01
LECTURE
I will pick one theme every week relevant to business and career growth.
03
READING
You will be recommended a book you will need to read before your next session.
02
Q & A

It is tempting to try and do many things, but often, such an approach is the recipe for disaster. Failure is inevitable in the absence of laser focus. Drop what isn't your core business.

WEEK

Find out who your customer is and how to get noticed. Attract Attention.
Nobody can buy from you if they don't know you exist. Do you know who your customer is? Since you can't be everything to everyone, zero in on your market segment.

WEEK

Writing a business plan is not about producing a document for the sake of it. A good plan helps you see where you stand and what your challenges are. It shows you gaps and opportunities.

Growth depends on
Truth be told, ten years ago when I became a monk, I didn't think that my experience in the business world or my MBA etc. would ever come handy or even be of use to humanity. I didn't realize that my material success could have valuable learning for many entrepreneurs and aspirants. But, it changed when I began life-coaching a handful of highly successful individuals. I felt I should extend this mentorship to a broader group of people passionate about their career and business ideas. So, here I am. For you. With you.

So You are not Sure...
Indecisive people do not make good leaders or followers. They can be good advisors at times but that's about it.
Usually, when people can't decide in a situation like this, it's often not because they don't have the resources or the time, it's just that they haven't trained their minds to take a decision when it matters the most.
If you wish to start or build a business, or if you want to take your career to the next level, there is no reason for you to not take your ambition seriously. Walk the Dragon is simply an investment in advancing your career.
You can sit on the fence and watch opportunities go by or you can take a decision now. The choice is yours. As is your life. You decide.
