Ram Goel runs three ventures from different sectors like aluminum, food & beverages, and hosiery and has grown each to exponential levels with his accurate business management skills. He says that starting multiple ventures helps one expand his network to such an extent that the contacts or associates from previous businesses play a major role in advancing the new establishment to some extent. According to Ram, running more than one business at a time gives you financial security in the event of failure of anyone and that's one of the major reasons one should opt for more than one at a time. Furthermore, expertise in different fields also enhances your experience in different sectors.
"Every time you start a new venture, you try not to repeat the mistakes you did in the past venture, and that helps you to refrain from doing things which are harmful for the smooth operation of the current business. A lot of unavoidable mistakes can be controlled if you have experience running multiple ventures and that helps a lot according to me," says Ram who himself and been there, done that. Starting multiple businesses is every bit as exciting but there are risks, disappointments, and loads of stress also associated with it which one should be aware of and tread their path carefully to succeed in all.
