Tiny Teacher, Big Impact: How My Young Daughter Fuelled My Business Success

As you all know, I am not just a businessman but also the father of my 6-year-old little princess, Divija. Often my young daughter teaches me important life lessons even without me realizing it. The simple lessons that stem from her innocence make a big impact on how I run my business.

Her natural inquisitiveness, unwavering positivity, and truthfulness have changed the way I tackle business obstacles, interact with my customers and how I think as a business owner. Earlier I thought that a business’s success was driven by strategy, hard work, and experience but my daughter's curiosity and fearless approach to life reshaped my approach to business.

3 Vital Lessons By My Daughter That Helped My Business Grow

·         Taught The Power of Curiosity

Like any other kid of her age, my daughter has an endless appetite for knowledge. She keeps asking how various things function or why they exist. Over time, I realized that asking questions isn't just about understanding our surroundings—it can help in our business growth too.

From asking customers about their problems to questioning myself why certain business strategies are not effective, inquisitiveness led to new ideas. It pushes me to always seek improvements, whether in creating products, planning marketing, or simply helping customers. This lesson has taught me to dig deeper and approach my business challenges with the same inquisitiveness that my daughter brings to everything she encounters.

·         Embraced Failure As A Learning Process

Kids of almost every age have a wonderful ability to bounce back. When my daughter was young and taking her first steps, she often fell or tripped — yet she always stood up again. I see this happen even when she is learning to ride her cycle or master a new skill. Rather than feeling discouraged, she faces failure with fresh determination.

This outlook has also changed my approach to business. In the past, I was afraid of failing and would shy away from risks. But seeing my daughter take failure in stride has helped me change my way of thinking. Nowadays, I consider failure not as a setback but as a chance to grow and learn.

·         Made Things Funny And Simple

Being a businessman who is always striving to excel in every task I attempt, I used to get caught up in business plans, think too much about choices, and often lose track of what matters. But my daughter taught me how to keep things simple and fun.

She doesn't need expensive toys to have a good time. Sometimes, all she wants is a cardboard box and her imagination. I started approaching my business with joy, simplicity, and creativity. Whether I am engaging with my customers or deciding how to design my products, I always focus on keeping things straightforward and enjoyable.

Since some of my profound business lessons were learned through the simplicity, resilience and curiosity of my daughter, I always consider these as powerful tools for my personal and professional growth.
