I have had the opportunity to educate, empower and guide individuals from different walks of life but now I feel even more grateful to hold an opportunity to share with you the stories of my life, almost all of which tamed me in becoming the person I am today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divided by 32 chapters but united by hope and optimism, writing the book \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/Decided-Not-Cry-Beyond-Entrepreneur\/dp\/B0CP4BRC88\">I Decided NOT To Cry<\/a><\/strong>\u201d is a resentment to the strength I have carried out throughout these years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have read some of my blogs, you would have known a part of my life, in fact, my professional life and how I conquered the world of business. Nonetheless, I choose to speak the rest of it now as I re-discover myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>MUST WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"I decided not to cry | Exclusive Interview with Ritu Singal |\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kvjbdL0J9f4\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The major turning point surfaced when my husband took his life with his own hands. The life after it turned and the life after it and before as well came with a varied number of challenges and learnings, and I never stopped to give up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was the third child to my parents and most of my childhood lingered around me being called the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most well-behaved child. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From having a mediocre pretty decent early childhood days to my mother suffering from a psychological illness,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">my childhood challenges were like a yacht in high-speed winds. From I learned to navigate through tough times and became a pretty good sailor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My higher education was based in Chandigarh and studying law was the one adolescent decision I had made and despite the ragging culture which was prominent at that instance, law school became my go-to destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After enrolling for a Master\u2019s in Law, that is when I met my husband for the first time. After having numerous memories, tying the knot and having kids, which seems like a settled family, started to have twists and turns. The chapters in the book are titled respectively in a way that highlights the exact essence of the very same chapter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always believed that business was a straightforward exchange of goods and services for money. However, I lacked an understanding of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/blog\/is-corporate-counseling-important-for-business-employees\/\">mindset and behaviour of business people<\/a><\/strong> when it came to finances. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don&#8217;t think it was entirely my fault, as my almost saintly father never exposed me to this side of life. The values he instilled in us prevented me from even considering getting involved in these matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of my non-involvement in the sphere of business was this husk but little did I know that this was going to turn opposite in a few years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After putting myself up with several challenges with my husband and standing by him even though there were a series of issues he grappled with, my thoughts froze two times. One was when I knew about his illicit affair with another woman and another was when I heard that he had taken his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20034\" src=\"https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unnamed-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unnamed-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unnamed-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unnamed-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unnamed-1-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, from my in-laws blaming me for their son\u2019s death to knowing little about how to take forward the business which was in a mess to being there for my kids, I started pondering on the question of \u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat can I do?\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gradually I tried to mute these voices in my head, I stepped into the business world and the game started to change. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of parenting which I worked on was unconventional which dealt with emotional stability and it instilled great strength in me to deal with life ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were instances of financial trouble. Consulting the bankers was the first thing I did and this was against my consultant\u2019s opinion. He feared we had lost our credibility with the banks and that it was useless to approach them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To some extent, even I feared that, but I overruled my fears. I fixed an appointment with the General Manager of our bank and shared the details of my company\u2019s financial status. The financial facet started to improve, and I started to place myself solely in business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet again from being felicitated with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdevelopmentpro.online\/ritusingal\/about-us\/\">Women Entrepreneur Award<\/a><\/strong> 2011 by ET Now in presence of Mr N.R. Narayana Murthy (Founder Infosys) to being known as one of the best Key Note Speakers by 2021, a lot has changed; a huge part of myself has witnessed growth and I hope to keep the same level of spirit and energy high ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be content to read out more about my story and connect the dot to the title I chose to name it.
