The Rupees One Lac Question


During one of my interview sessions with one of the business owners I asked, 'Irrespective of the amount you withdraw every month from your company, how much do you think your company should pay you in salary every month?'

The answer was: One Lac Rupees.

I asked the follow up question: 'Why should your company pay you that kind of salary?'

The answer was: (Silence)

Most of the business owners demand big salaries from their own company without understanding what it takes to earn that kind of money in the market.

If only more and more business owners answer the question with great sincerity and work on their answers, they can help their company prosper, themselves become more productive and can take home the salary they dream of taking every month.
