Never Have I Ever, a Netflix original series is more than your regular teenage drama. With an IMDb rating of 8.0, good critic reviews, and flourishing love from the viewers, this dramedy has reached out to the hearts of its audience.

The narrative is about a young teenage girl named Devi who wants to up her social-game, become popular, and whisk some romance in her kitty as she struggles with her family problems.

Never Have I ever effortlessly gives you some life lessons.

I identified 3 of them that can direct your business to all the right places.

  1. Re-branding

In the first episode, Devi is talking to her best friends. She gives the idea to re-brand themselves to look cooler!
As much as I discourage doing certain things for validation, Devi has got some point here.
You have been working excessively hard on your business but, something just never fits right. Maybe its time to re-work on your strategies.

Re-brand in a way that is unique and relevant.

2. You need to feel sad to overcome sadness

Ideas are always refreshing and, a business is always grown out of such seeds. However, even the most mind bogging ideas can hit a dead end. I have seen a majority of entrepreneurs avoid feeling the pain of not working out. We know that you are sad that it didn’t take off and maybe, you should acknowledge that too. It is fine to be upset about your failures. The sooner you accept it, the closer you get into sketching new heights and accelerate right into your new action plan.

3. You are either business partners(friends) or not

And there is no in-between that. It is human to have fallouts but it is stupid to let it come in the way of your business. When people sign up to create a brand together, they also sign up to stand by it irrespective of their fluttering differences. If you can’t work out on your differences, it is better to part ways than sticking your business in a gummy situation.
Devi’s friends were annoyed at her behavior but when it came to helping her out, they were down for it.

Do some good partnership, do some good to your brand!

These lessons might look small to you at the moment. If you look at the bigger picture, it can help you score sweet cookies for your business. A business is just not about numbers and well-researched ideas, it is about those small little things that catalyze the ideas into a plan that you have always desired.

P.S. Never Have I Ever ignored awesome pointers for my business!
