Bangalore, Oct 26: Do success and wealth go together? Not necessarily. A successful man or woman in their chosen field would certainly be wealthy, not just in material possessions but in all the other things that matter in life.
 
But, is there a sure-fire way to become successful and wealthy?

These and many other related issues were discussed with well-experienced and qualified persons, who have done it all, as resource persons during a lively interactive session organized by Kanara Entrepreneurs (KE), Bangalore, in Bangalore last week-end, in which a little over 100 budding and established entrepreneurs, businessmen, corporate executives and professionals participated.

The speakers were: Claudius Pereira, founder and managing director of System Tech Pvt Ltd, System Tech Enterprises and associated in several other companies in key managerial positions and Mark D’Souza, co-founder and promoter of Maxma Systems (India) Pvt Ltd, which specializes in management consulting and recruitment services, and an eminent chartered accountant.

''Four D’s – Desire, Determination, Dedication and Discipline – are essential for success," said Claudius Pereira, who is also KE’s Director-Mentoring, in his lively talk on ''Embracing Success through KE." Gratitude with Attitude dictates your Altitude, the journey today is constantly changing, the new concept of Leadership is Change, Principles and Choice. Once you get into it, you should have the power to adapt as these are the forces of change, he said stressing the need to have a foolproof strategy for continuous improvement and empowerment and constant efforts at networking to spot and encash the opportunities.  

KE through its close links with KE Global, KEL Dubai, Rachana, Mangalore, Dimensions and CCI, Mumbai with overall membership of over 1400 highly successful entrepreneurs would provide the most ideal forum for all interested persons to share in the large reservoir of knowledge and expertise, with advice on business plans for existing and start-ups, identification of business opportunities besides offering advice on legal and financial aspects, Claudius Pereira said.

''One can be young and be without money. But it will be difficult and tough for the old to survive without money," said Mark D’Souza in his inimitable style peppered with quotations and passages from several well-known persons and literary persons in his talk on ''Wealth Creation Opportunities." He sought to drive home the point that one has to save for a rainy day and prepare for life after retirement, because normally every person’s life after retirement lasts a third of the total lifetime. Insurance, systematic and balanced investment plans, accumulation of assets, efficient management, proper handling of estate affairs, writing will and planned succession to avoid unnecessary legal complications were some of the other key points made by Mark D’Souza.

Clarence Pereira, KE Associate Director-Membership with his diverse experience of over three decades in different fields and is the Director of Deccan Group of Companies with an annual turnover of Rs 125 crore, was a part of panel discussion. Anil Rego, Director-Events, was to moderator.

Earlier, Clarence Pereira administered the oath to three new lead members and eight members. Charles Gomes, KE President, welcomed the gathering while Robinson D’Souza, President-Elect, compered the event. Edward D’Souza, Director-Marketing, started the meeting with a short prayer while Thimothy George proposed a vote of thanks.
