My Bigggggeeeeest Failures....

  And you thought, i was successful all along ?

1. ​Failed Physics exam in 8th grade to 11th grade, had to leave science field and moved to commerce! life came early before i was ready, mom passed away.

2. 2002 - Had to leave successful career as a sportsman/sports because of permanent injury on Knee Cartilage(1998). Continued with other fitness programs.

3. Crashed 2 laptops - more than 3 times in first project itself. Linux / Computer Installations - Lost the client & deal too. Age 21-22.​

4. Lost money in my first business in college days, all my of my own earnings - Rs.1 lakh - Age 21​​

5. Rocky start of my first partnership @age of 17 for my first salon products and in 1 year became the largest supplier custom products by formulations.

6. Fell on stage in my first sponsored event/competition for which my costume was fully sponsored. I won the competition but lost the sponsor.

   • Rs.25K net loss. Age 19. 

7. Lost my regional tournament(Badminton) and thus the sponsor - Rs. 10K net loss. Age 21.

8. CRM- IT - MBA drop out - moved to USA.

   • University refused for distance program. Till date, there is no-program that matches that !!!
   • It is custom designed for executives like me on scholarship programs. IT+Mgmt with CRM.

9. H1-B denied twice in USA (Diploma in IT thats why), so i started working for indian company in indian hrs/currency.

   • I launched them in USA and brought them to 1million turnover.

10. First performance of Grace Creations, Failed.

    • fusion of hiphop, tap, jazz, ballet, bharatanatyam, folk, contemporary - didn't go that well - failed.

    • ​Lessons learned - from hiring outside choreographers without background (esp those who don't listen) to change in dates of event, last min costumes change, change of song request, dancers sick, everything just went wrong - 2012-2013. i-cried when 8months went in drain.

    • ​And then, we won 4 competitions, back to back. Took them to nationals, by the time they graduated, they earned  $$ :)
    • Without forsaking fundamentals. Thus, g2 was created in 2020-2021.
    • It is rather a coincidence that ppl fail when they don't listen to me and I do not take any work that i cannot deliver. To know when to push myself or my company and for what is a skill.
    • In 2021, G2 failed because of delays in landlords' permits thus we lost all clients/projects that were specifically designed for us. It took me 1 year of my personal time to prepare, propose and bag those projects for my company to launch g2 with all those mega projects. in Sept 2021, we had an induced contract fraud.
    • Right after in 2022, March-Sept 2022, we had texas all star (my 501 3 c company training leadership program) fraud/theft in the company (details) which brought other legal mess and financial damages in company. Throughout that specific period, we also had a credit card fraud on our online systems which is also reported because it is rather a coincidence that only this fraud individual knew when i was attending the customer service for my company. Nobody knows that routine.
    • 2023 we had to close the location itself which brought other legal issues.
    • The G2 program however continued at other locations under me exclusively.
    • However, I walked out with massive success on students' that graduated under me exclusively for various programs and my choreographers had their share of grads! I am very proud of them.
    • I had to downsize grace and grooves on massive scale to clear several online systems that were impacted because of improper execution of directions on social media plugins and integrations by fraud (deliberate mess) and several projects were stalled or I was unable to take them just to sort this whole mess!
      • The manual and training of this has been successfully followed & delivered by several high schoolers and texas all star students prior to 2022 as well. It is our company's standard IT training manual that everybody follows except this individual because without that, my company systems can't function!

11. My elites and graduates in performing arts have failed in several competitions, by genre for some or the other mistakes during their performance.

    • ​and so have we and so today, they came to a point where they won non-stop without a single vote. And so we have today unbeatable records.
    • without forsaking fundamentals.
    • 2024 - 25 straight years of wins/awards/competitions or publishing awards by auditions and performances.

12. Failed NESTA Exam in USA by a few marks......and don't care enough to clear it because of my own sports background.

    • I don't even know why i signed for that;it was some combo package with some fitness class so i took it.

13. Tried making bread - 56 times failed, took courses and voilaa-done! 

14. Tapioca dish - a famous gujarati dish - 23 times ....Failed......and will try one more time :) who will stop me. 

15. Failed my MFA exam in one subject. weird reasons : I was not told about it until i came to know about 30mins before the exam and i still attended the exam and I scored passing marks and after 4 years, university comes back to me in 2024 that they missed 1 paper update to me for 10marks which i will give "online" as well b'coz who will stop me. 4 years every few months i follow up just like all students, these people don't reply at all. coincidence ? i recorded the whole exam paper as my phone was left open and all answers are 100% correct and university has its tantrums to trouble NRI. God knows how many people's work they make a mess of.

       

I never give up until I reach my goals.
