UdyamGita

Entrepreneurs may have their own learnings from past experiences. The good, the bad, what worked, and what did not. Based on this, they may develop strong likes and dislikes toward certain ways of functioning. This past learning may or may not come from entrepreneurship itself. So dedicating all actions toward one single goal may be new to them.

In the current journey, if the entrepreneur can master the art of detachment without expectations, they will start thinking with a fresh perspective. They will take decisions and act without prejudice, which is one of the most important qualities for entrepreneurship. Every action becomes an opportunity, every person becomes a source of energy, and moving ahead without prejudice or attachment makes the path easier and more graceful.

No amount of restructuring in the organization, whether in systems or people, disturbs such an entrepreneur. They remain calm and composed without losing mental stability. Any kind of loss does not affect them deeply. When this mental state and stability are achieved, the entrepreneur truly enjoys the journey of entrepreneurship while moving steadily toward continued success.

Krishna now explains what happens when action is performed with intelligence and detachment.

He says that when one practices this art of working without attachment, one rises above both good and bad reactions in this very life. This is not accidental or passive work; it is conscious, skillful action. Krishna calls this Yoga—the ability to work with clarity, balance, and awareness.

Those who act in this state free themselves from bondage and gradually move beyond suffering.

Business Insight

Every entrepreneur carries learnings from past experiences.

These experiences—successes and failures—create strong impressions about what works, what does not, what should be pursued, and what should be avoided. These impressions may come from entrepreneurship itself or even from life before starting a business. Because of this, dedicating all actions toward one goal, without prejudice or expectation, often feels unnatural at first.

However, when an entrepreneur masters the art of detached action, a shift begins to happen. Decisions are taken with a fresh perspective, not coloured by past disappointments or past achievements. Actions are no longer driven by fear, attachment, or bias.

In this state, every action feels like an opportunity and every person feels like a source of energy. The journey becomes smoother, lighter, and more graceful.

Leadership Lesson

With this mental conditioning, leadership acquires stability.

Any amount of restructuring—whether of systems, processes, or people—can be handled without inner disturbance. Losses do not destabilize the entrepreneur. Wins do not inflate the ego. The leader remains calm, composed, and steady, even when change is frequent and unavoidable.

When this level of mental stability is achieved, entrepreneurship stops feeling like constant struggle. The entrepreneur begins to enjoy the process itself, moving steadily toward continued success without emotional turbulence.
