The New Year is almost here, and with it comes the opportunity for each of us to examine where we have been, where we are, and most importantly where we are going as we head into the future. After some reflection on our lives, many of us use the New Year as a chance to wipe the slate clean. We make a resolution to do something different or new with our life.

By far the number one New Year's resolution most people make is to drop a few pounds and get into shape. Ask any health...

It is all over television and the internet.  We are bombarded with it every day.  Get-rich-quick schemes, the next big thing that will make you money; do not buy into it!

You always imagine a leader standing in front of a mass of people and getting them to move in a certain direction with great gusto. However, great leaders come in many forms.

As Walter Elliott famously quoted it, perseverance isn’t just about long races; it’s about many short races in a row. The words of Elliott seem to have inspired few of the most successful entrepreneurs of the contemporary world. One such example that’s perfectly fit for this context and that has just come to my mind is Shamit Khemka – the young entrepreneur. Shamit is the CEO and Founder of SynapseIndia – one of the most prominent offshore service providers...
