“I taught myself confidence. When I’d walk into a room and feel scared to death, I’d tell myself, ‘I’m not afraid to anybody.’ And people believed me. You’ve got to teach yourself to take over the world.” - Priyanka Chopra.



After becoming Miss world at the age of 18, Priyanka Chopra or I should say our desi girl has taken the world by herself and still boosting her way through. And her success story has now become one of the most inspirational stories in Bollywood.

We’ve known Priyanka for her breathtaking on-screen acting skills for almost more than a decade now. But what she has started recently is very impressive too. She is a venture capitalist now, investing in technology stuff as a start-up investor. She’s currently investing in a portfolio company, coding information company named Holberton School and a dating and social app known as “Bumble” developed by Whitney Wolfe Herd, one of the most prominent start-up founders in tech.

Priyanka currently at the age of 38 achieved so many milestones on her career. So, people wanted to know what it takes to reach that high level of achievement? How did she traveled her way to Hollywood and became so much popular? Here are the top 10 rules of success from the words of Glamorous desi girl herself.

Believe in yourself first

Life of an entrepreneur starts with believing in self. Not actually just an entrepreneur but each and everyone should have self-confidence and belief to get success in life.

It shapes how people live their life, how they make interaction with others and most importantly how they get the works done. It may seem that Priyanka was very confident from the very beginning of her career, but that’s exactly opposite of what she felt - she explained. She had to encourage herself up and continue doing the hard work to be where she is right now.

Clear your vision and set a target

Having a crystal clear vision is one of the essential things in the way of success. Having a goal or a target on your mind will give your aim a proper direction as well as boost your motivation in the way of achieving it.

According to Priyanka herself, she used to have a lower level of motivation and self-confidence in the early stages of her career. But with time, when she started to get a more clear vision she felt highly motivated that she can accomplish everything in life, so she did.

Think outside the box

If you want to achieve success, you must stick into a scheduled routine. That’s the way for sure But not necessarily for everyone. Honestly, following the same path that every other one has walked to reach success is not exciting at all.

Doing the same thing a little differently will show the creativity and innovativeness in you. Most actors in our film industry follow other legendary actors and their steps to success. But Priyanka believes that thinking outside of the box is essential. So, she chose a protagonist role early in her career to get herself noticed a bit differently.

Dream it big

If you’re dreaming to achieve something, make sure you dream it big. Not only that helps you to put more effort but also gives you that extra amount of motivation you need in the way to achieve.

Priyanka always dreamed big things in her life. Though it’s tough for a woman to prosper both as an actress and a renowned venture capitalist from India that gives more value to men, she didn’t stop until success kissed her feet.

Hard work is essential

According to most of the modern successors, smart work is the new key to Yes! maybe that’s true but not essentially 100%. There’s no need to work like a bull these days but you must put hard work no matter what you want to achieve.

Priyanka herself manages to maintain a lot of things side by side at once. Currently, she is an actress, a singer, a philanthropist and a tech investor too. Balancing this kind of variety needs extreme dedication and hard work.

Learn to say “No” sometimes

Keep in mind, no matter how much you try you can’t do everything and you can’t make everyone happy. So, you must choose which ones you should do and which you shouldn’t.

Greet the ones you decide to go for and say a clear “No” to the other ones. “As an actor, there are a lot of occasions when you’re offered things that either you’re not ready to do or you simply don’t like to. A simple no is what you should reply” - Priyanka says.

Be challenging but not too hard on yourself

If you’re doing the same thing again and again; not only others will get will get bored of you but you’ll also lose motivation. In the other hand, if you constantly challenge and experiment new things

on yourself that is too difficult, you’re more likely to damage yourself both physically and mentally.

Priyanka loves to take challenges and maintain her comfort zone both at once.

Always take necessary risks

An actress must always know when she should go beyond her safety reach and take some necessary risk, so does Priyanka. Not just as an actor which she is for the past decade, but as a venture capitalist which she started more recently demands her to be more risk-taking in life to reach the peak of success.

Surround yourself with right people

Are the people around you completely supportive with what you do? If yes, then you’re on the right side of the tide, my friend.

To gain success you must make sure that people around you are helpful and behave nicely to you. Right people will raise you up from the ground in your bad times and provide you the motivation to stick around.

Be Greedy

Be hungry in pursuit of your ambition; be greedy to achieve your dreams as quickly as possible. The hunger of success is what that makes you different from other competitors. If you’re not greedy to get to your dreams as quickly as possible you’ll not likely to meet success soon.
