Early Entrepreneurial Seeds

Growing up in a small Indian town, Ramesh Dewangan's first taste of entrepreneurship came during high school when he helped his uncle manage a flour mill. This early exposure taught him valuable lessons about customer service and business management as he handled the cash box and interacted with customers seeking advice beyond their milling needs.

The Corporate Climb

After facing initial setbacks with a failed startup in India, Ramesh joined a multinational corporation that launched his corporate career. Despite professional success, including assignments abroad and eventually becoming vice president at a Silicon Valley company, he faced personal challenges. The demands of corporate life, including an MBA from UC Berkeley, often meant missing important family moments and struggling with work-life balance.

The Unexpected Pivot

When COVID-19 hit, Ramesh's 30-year corporate career ended abruptly through layoffs. This crisis forced difficult decisions, including selling his house and scaling back his daughter's wedding expenses. However, this challenge became the catalyst for his entrepreneurial journey.

Building a New Business Foundation

Rather than returning to corporate life, Ramesh established his own LLC. He focused on three key areas:

1. Business coaching through Success Role Academy
2. Implementation of effective systems and CRM tools
3. Certification training to become a technical consultant

The Transformation

Through dedication and a systematic approach, Ramesh successfully:

• Built a lead list of over 1,000 contacts
• Conducted numerous webinars and masterclasses
• Organized a successful summit
• Established himself as a business growth expert

Keys to Success

Ramesh attributes his successful transition to three core principles:

1. Understanding that business skills are acquirable, not innate
2. Maintaining a growth mindset focused on continuous learning
3. Utilizing the right systems and surrounding yourself with the right people

Personal Growth and Balance

Beyond business success, Ramesh's entrepreneurial journey has led to improvements in three core areas of his life:

• Family: More time with loved ones, including his new grandson
• Health: Regular exercise and a 5-pound weight loss
• Financial Independence: Ability to travel and create lasting memories with family

Quotable Moments:

"No one is born with business skills. It is an acquirable skill."

"The growth mindset is key. You must continuously learn, be proactive, adapt, and get out of comfort zone."

"Even if you work hard, you may fail if you don't have the right systems or people."

Looking Forward

Today, Ramesh leverages his experience as a business growth expert to help other entrepreneurs establish effective business strategies and systems. His journey from corporate executive to successful entrepreneur serves as an inspiration for others looking to make similar transitions.
