In Episode 037, Jack has invited Ms. Neha Gupta, who is an author, speaker, founder of College Shortcuts and Elite Private Tutors with over a decade of experience in education industry. Tireless motivator and a tutor for teenagers,  she knows exactly what it takes to help students achieve their dreams, gain scholarships, get admitted to the best universities and follow their passion. Though her 2 companies Neha has helped over 14,000 students get into the colleges of their dreams in the past 12 years. Neha's story included how she found her passion at such a young age and why it is important to have the passion for what you do.  She has also shared how she achieved her 10-year goal in 2017 and how she still stays consistent even during times she may not want to continue.What's Neha passionate about?My parents were brought up in India and they moved to the US and the one thing they always said was that education is your golden ticket. So I was brought up really as an overachiever. I was very driven and motivated. I really enjoyed competing really with myself to see how good I could get and I think it also relates to entrepreneurship and a lot of ways.  It's about how much hard work and determination do you have and what types of standards do you set for yourself? So eventually what happened was I was a teenager and I started to tutor kids and I really fell in love with it. I was very passionate about it. And what ended up happening was I still took jobs that were corporate for a little while and then eventually I realised that my side hustle of tutoring really had to become full time because it's what I love doing. And so I really enjoy it. And I help kids to really combat any of the questions they have around their self-worth or any of their motivation in they have. And I tell them, "there's a strategy behind anything."  One of the best parts is that a lot of kids change their belief systems. They changed their mindset and these are important things to learn how to younger age. Because changing these as an adult is so much harder."How does Neha hire A-player to join her team? There are going to be times when you're tired as the leader and you need your team to be there for you during those times.  So I have been one to always hire what I call the A- player" In the early days I did not realise this and it really hurt my business when I did not hire an A-player.  When I hire A-players,  even my tutors will go through about 100 resumes to hire just one tutor. That's a lot of resumes to go through before making a decision to hire someone. I also take referrals really seriously. One of the big hacks I would tell an entrepreneur is to ask your other friends who are also entrepreneurs, if they have someone that they're not utilising fully, that you could share because a lot of these people are well trained and they're already trained by another entrepreneur.  A lot of people are willing to share their resources or they know somebody. I found some of the best people just by putting out a Facebook post, which sounds unbelievable, but my own network itself was so strong that people want to support you. I would say that's really important and is finding the right people to execute the system that you build.What's Neha 10-year goal she achieved in 2017?In 2017 I was at a conference and they had put together an organization called World Teacher Aid. It's basically 40 entrepreneurs that came together to build schools in Africa. I always wanted to build a school overseas and that's actually based on my ancestry. My grandfather built one of the first universities in India that gave free education to women. So education is really run through my family very intensively, not just me starting this, but all the way back generations.
