Found this from a long time ago.

I will be teaching a course in Entrepreneurship Fall 2012.
I’ve never taught the course, but I will share your comments with my students. :-)

~~~ Thank YOU TIM

Navneet,

Congratulations on being conferred the “ENTREPRENEURIAL INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP AWARD” at the Indira International Innovation Summit at Pune, India. I am sure going forward this “thinker and doer” / “believer in change” will scale bigger heights and will be a big “role model” for all the Innovators or Leaders amongst us.

Keep up the good work Boss!

Congratulation Navneet. It’s a great achievement and you deserve it. I have seen you putting efforts with honesty, passion and patience.
———————————————————–

I am also getting some more responses – so thought post below

Congratulations on your wonderful achievement and my very best wishes to you for many more successes to follow. Your note on starting a new business venture was very honest and inspiring and I’m sure that many youngsters like myself will keep your framework in mind while taking the entrepreneurial plunge.

Many thanks again for sharing this great news and hope to read many more of your insightful and inspiring articles.

Very beautifully articulated.

I got very interesting points from various other readers over email – I thought will post here. A BIG THANK YOU to all those who sent me their comments!

Thanks for the 5q7p7d!
You may want to refer to McKinsey’s 7-S framework – Strategy, Staffing, Structure, Skills, Systems, Style and Super-Ordinate Goals.
Also, why don’t you make it 5q6p7r (two arithmetic progressions merged in one!) – r can be for responses, instead of doing! You can knock off one P.

Congratulations from me & from our team at ——- . We wish you all the best and great success in the future too.

What an article… Beautifully written, very concise at the same time full of very valuable life lessons, flows like a river.
Knowing you it came from heart rather than just an article for another magazine or newspaper.
Extremely proud to be your friend.

Hi Navneet., ( Mr. Butter which was the favorite of the Supreme Lord Krishna )

Amazing interview GURU really enjoyed reading it ,

Great article! Summarizes the ABC of any Entrepreneurship programme in the simplest terms of QPD.
May I take liberty to say:
The 2nd D viz “DEFINE” could also have: “What is your Vision in the business” because without a clear vision, any business is not likely to take you anywhere.
There could be another D “DETERMINATION”. Any entrepreneur must have a firm determination and resolve to realize his goals in the business. Come what may, he should not shake.

Congratulations to you on winning this Award!!! It is well deserved and is just a beginning for more and more recognitions and awards to follow…

Good one!
Just an observation (may not be taken too seriously) : Just like P were made to 7 later on….try for Q as will . it will simplify the famewwork with common factor of 7 . 7(QPD). And in fact later on could make the framework scaleable as well easily like 7(QPDI) !!

BTW 7 sells…too..

7 eleven 7 up 7 wonders 7 Habbits of Effective People ( it could be 7 Stages of Entreprenuers!!!!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_(number)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_in_Chinese_culture : “Seven : Seven is considered spiritist or ghostly. The seventh month of the Chinese calendar is also called the “Ghost Month”. See Ghost Festival for more detail. During the month, the gates of hell are said to be open so ghosts and spirits are permitted to visit the living realm. However, the Chinese lunar calendar also has the 7th day of the month as Chinese Valentine’s Day (七夕 qi xi), so the number 7 is not generally associated with bad luck. In most of the regions in China number 7 remains neutral or associated with luck.”

Basically after going through the answeres to the 7 Steps/diagnosis one can conclude onseself as either whether entrepreuership as heaven or hell for oneself!!
