VISION TURNING TO REALITY DOES EGO HINDER IT?Sharukh Khan a Actor, Producer, Entrepreneur and a brand in itself. Who has in varied business interestsin the entertainment industry. The vision of creating one of the best VFX studios in the country which is

open to other production houses and adds VFX only to advertisement in which he stars is ready to opento other houses as well It houses one of the most valued IPL team, One of the top production houses. Asan entrepreneur who has all the resources at hand from capital to VFX studio to create one of the most

expensive movie in the history of Indian cinema and give India one of its own home grown super heroes.

A good sustainable business needs to be scalable and that needs money. He doesnt believe inborrowing money or raising debt in these crisis times, instead he uses the Khan brand power to raisemoney and brands swear by him of brand value. As we see in the IPL team, in which be bought on boardJay Mehta and got the tag that is associate with him owner of an IPL franchise. That benefitted not evenhimself but also IPL. He also saw team getting a valuation of 600- 700 million dollars in 5 years time.That is the kind of business acumen we see in a person like Shahrukh Khan, as we see that stars are notgood business people. SRK is famously known as is a shrewd business man with excellent marketingskills that an entrepreneur must possess. He managed to get his team the first one to break even whenothers were finding it hard to break even. His Vision in the form of RAONE took birth 5 years beforefrom now

But the basic question arises here did the birth of this vision for natural or was it a birth of a ego as Indiahad got a its first superhero in the name of krrish. Given to us by Hrithik Roshan. As at that time we allknow that relationships were strained between these two actors and the superhero tag was achieved byHrithik at that time gave birth to his vision and also when the movie was declared a super hit. He invitedAnubhav Sinha to his project as he thought he is the only director to handle the movie of this scale. Ashere we see that choosing the right people for converting your vision to reality is a must but the mostimportant part is to see that has he put all the right ingredient in place for it to turn into a money

spinner otherwise it will look as pool of talented individuals but as a group leads to no quality output.

As some times it is a human emotion that gives birth to these emotions and visions but as entrepreneurs

we should be void of these visions which are a birth a ego than a natural one. Despite having resourcesat hand the emotions such as if he can why cant we can lead to our downfall. The process of turningour vision to a reality is a dream of an entrepreneur. At this time we speak that being an entrepreneurwe should overcome all our limitations and go ahead with our vision. Our FMB batch has all theresources at hand but sometimes we fail to look at basic ingredients that go towards making a vision to

a reality. Despite having all resources at hand if we dont give a look at basic ingredients and be in a egothat it will work then you are bound to go fail. As it happened with SRK and Anubhav sinha the directorwho gave his 5 years to a movie which failed to give any profit to those who were involved in this

project. What we see in this that the vision of giving the most expensive movie fizzle out.

As SRK and anubhav sinha both forgot the basic ingredient in their movie is a story that entices youraudience and screenplay which needs to be there in place so that people can watch it again. A movie of

this scale needs to have a repeat value so that people can watch it again and can gain some kind of decent profits for those who were involved in the project. If your project gives some decent profits forthose who were involved in the project this also helps to gain you some brand power in your communitythat helps you to raise funds when needed to fund your expansion but one small mistake can cost ushuge. So as entrepreneurs we have very low margin for error. For SRK his ego gaining the tag of a

superhero had blinded him to see the realities and accept them or improve upon them. We all salutehim for his vision but not what it turned out to be in reality. People always see the final result not thevision where we wanted to reach. As entrepreneurs we need to be in reality not blinded in some egowhich acts as a hinderance for getting it into reality. The main reason for our many people downfall is

ego so we need to have a control over it.

Sometimes we entrepreneurs go to many extents to see our vision becoming a reality like SRK becamethe brand ambassadors of many brands and hosted a show called ZOR KA JHATKA to fund his dream

project but in this process overexposed himself and devalued himself as a brand. So what we see aslearning here is that as SRK used his brand power to fund his own project which didnt see much of his

own money getting pumped in this project. He tried to de-risk his monetary involvement and even sawhis dream project becoming a reality. As he had a contingency plan in form of don 2 which was releasingin 2 months time but in the duration of promoting his dream project overexposing himself led the basicquote if don 2 Don Ko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Namunkin Hain in dire straits. As he over exposed himself inthe promotions of RAONE which let people to believe isko to pakadna aasan hain. It also became arisky proposition with time after the release of RA ONE. So as entrepreneurs we all have we all have to

look to de- risk our expensive projects and even looking forward to see that it a win-win proposition forall involved in it. As we all have contingency plan in place on which we can bank upon if we fail but wehave to look that after our original plan failed it doesnt affect our original plan.

As entrepreneurs we need to have a control of our emotions and seeing it in a reality and believe in tomake a way for seeing it into a reality. As we all know surging ahead is the only way to survive in todays

world not holding back and consolidating. You either surge ahead or get out of business there is nooptions such as holding back. But dont let ego get in way o f surging ahead otherwise you will be out or

be eroding your own value. It is our pick either to erode our value or increase it.
