For growth of any kind of business, various challenges are bound to come. Sometime the challenges are simple to solve and most of the time it is difficult. The success lies on how the difficulties are overcome and how soon it is done.

But in today's circumstances where survival efforts followed by growth tasks pass through acid test of 24X7 competition in 360 degree angle; amount of time spent & degree of effective efforts applied to achieve high quality of problem solving process are the key skill factors.
