“To successfully lead your business, it matters that your values take shape in your virtue”~ Jetha

Alykhan inspires readers to zero in on their own uniqueness, qualities and traits.  An individual’s  entrepreneurial success will come from their own personal “unique life trajectories and worldviews”, states Jetha .   He provides some key takeaways  for the reader, and dives into  what matters most: personal values,  moral principles, and best practices.  These are all things that build trust with others.

His four points toward success

In describing his own entrepreneurial journey, he describes the plight of being a refugee forced to leave his country, to now CEO of his own company. He is equipped to offer  kindly and wise advice to others seeking to become a successful entrepreneurs.  His four points of advice speak to various business principles that help lay the foundation for success: (Integrity, trust, flexibility, resilience, being prepared to accept and respond to change):

1. Telling it like it is
2. Right people, right seats
3. Self-preservation
4. Self-belief

Likeminded support systems

Alykhan acknowledges that finding the right balance in life can be very difficult when you are first starting out. Aligning yourself with a support system  that works with new and emerging CEOs  can help new business owners stay on track and accountable to themselves, their values and  more.
