Why are certain Elites are not Movie Stars or Super Rich after years of trainings?

1. The VERY FIRST Priority – Education as most asian and indian parents have!
   • Some are in medical field, some in dual education specialities.
2. Parents chose not to – too early in life to take industrial ride.
3. Smaller gigs with big or major production names as compared to huge contracts thus doable within the school days – after school or weekend days.
4. Smaller gigs or one day gig are easy to handle with no lingering stress to do more.
5. 99% of these individuals prefer that Ms. Hetal take the whole project itself for all – so that all the indecent code of conduct or any illegal activities can be filtered through Ms. Hetal’s expertise.
6. Ms. Hetal bags these or creates these in affiliations with several production companies in mainstream —- big and small in all sizes for all age groups and everything runs by date.
   • As a multi generational NRI, Ms. Hetal is extremely vigilant about laws and permissible activities within limitations of certain policies of industry and fields – especially the ones pertaining to kids, minors and young individuals.
   • These areas of fields cannot be kept hidden and even if Ms. Hetal does not show on her site, the organizer will someday – show it. Inevitable!
7. With this global generational IQ, Ms. Hetal is able to arrange just about anything in any country if there is proper date, schedule and visa permisibility.
8. Priorities of personal life, family limitations, culture limitations and some upfront fees limitations as some projects do require little investment because, this industry is fast pace field.
9. Discipline in schedules so that other life priorities can be handled, education, marriage life/family and mainstream work life is always part of it.
10. Strict waivers to avoid theft and ensure security of personal details thus all sign under Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.
11. Ms. Hetal’s own kids are part of this so Ms. Hetal makes sure that there is no foul play or illegal activities, code of conduct of any type in any area.
    • As a convent upbringing, Ms. Hetal has learned to be in those environments to offer such a discipline and transparency.
12. Adults are always required around minors and Ms. Hetal does not allow any child or minor to be left alone without supervision.
13. Cameras are in every possible place of Ms. Hetal’s any program except for the restroom. Gender specific restroom is usually provided at every venue. This goes for green rooms too.
14. Certain age groups or levels are “never” together and do not even share one show!
    • Ms. Hetal is known for multiple shows too within 1 day in entirely seperate hours.
15. And, it offers stability – constant income.

At Grace And Grooves Corp —- Be careful when you point a finger at any teen, Elite or infact any parent or student. This includes on any task assigned.

Dance on one location, one backdrop or similar lighting or clothing as well may not be at the same time.

As a dance production company, we do lot of gimmicks on looks, hair colors, hair sizes too(wigs) and makeup tactics that makes the individual look entirely different. While some prefer not to do full makeup or change of hair as those are flexible.

This is reason why despite big names of production houses, some producers who commercially call Ms. Hetal and her groups often have smaller commitments with dates instead of whole season. Some are seeding so these keep leveling up in different areas and at the pace of availability and thus payouts vary by the project.

These are not like non stop every other day projects that you would expect Elites to be some movie stars :). yeah, if they were available in that routine “leaving” their education then they can be movie stars.

Thus the payouts are limited to gigs, availability and pre-scheduled activities.

Company’s Elites rather prefer to be low key in these areas which is usually parents decision.

This is until the completion of their education degree than to be called as industrial artist to get on ride of full mode industrial levels. Most of these are to gain experience and earn some side hustle money and if something later draws a path to industry of their choice and availability.

And this they can later too, take on bigger scale as some did during G2. G2 mess.

It all depends on project and how much can it be controlled based on schedules and dates.

Some rolled by Ms. Hetal, some bagged through production houses, some bidding, some seeding, some self-generated projects that receives sponsors and producers, some received from various producers, clients to name a few.

Just like every field, this field too is controlled by availability. Every field has money if you know how to dig it.

Just an example of an artist or a dancer who may be available every other day with basic payouts of 150-200$ would just get them average of 3750$ per month. This is just the 1st level and this is their earnings. Not Ms. Hetal’s.

Price of one semester in university is ? :).

This itself says it. THINK! #YES

No Money is ever small. 1 cent will make the 99cents you have as 1$. Price of icloud basic plan is 0.99 cents – 8,000 photos averaging 3 MB each = 24 GB and 1 hour of 4K video (~20 GB). Total – 44 GB, leaving about 6 GB free. One can launch a business with this 44GB of just plain data!

Value of money.

The settys would often be available on several instances because of their schedules and schooling for these gigs, other than Ms. Hetal’s own kids thus, could be investors of G2 as a money investors.

Participation in the company program as a student to learn skills and to build your portfolio is not considered as investment :). After certain level such as Elite Lines, it becomes one as that’s when you bring money or clients to business!

Company arranges for everything is based on company’s operations :). Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj takes the load of upfront costs and all the permissible operations so that her students can sail through it.

Something just as you would to university or a placement agency, university imparts you trainings and skills and one has to pay to university and all the extra infra that you have to abide by.

All this sits on Ms. Hetal Joshi Nagaraj’s own money and earnings too (former salon specialist, and few others – check this).

Not on students’ anything :). Students and interns programs itself entered much late in life 2011-2013 when the company was accepting “outside students” other than friends and family. #Right.

Reachh Mediaa Programs are differently accounted for as a PR just as you would sign up for university programs, just a little real world than the bookish. Placement do not even begin until certain age because—that’s the federal law unless there is somebody who had begin very early in life with a full industrial PR – we have those too. www.thesettys.com. There is a reason why they came to Ms. Hetal. #YES

This should not be confused with music videos that youtube or online streaming companies make, or such collabs or reel worlds. Those are entire different media platforms. As a company, we have not even begin these.

Here you go – Ms. Hetal showed you money, career, value of money, value of time, knowledge, skills, growth, respect and love without compromising your education in the field of mainstream performing arts 🙂. Oh and the scholarships, if you follow through all Ms. Hetal says.

Ms Hetal’s own website too was a need! – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj.

Many people know me through one part of my work or field. Some know me as social butterfly! Always busy in friends and family :). My journey with a professional website actually began during my college days, when I created a simple online portfolio to showcase my work. Blog, student profile website was a trend back then. #Right

Freelance world existed in the year 2000;the birth year of most business portals and web services. My marriage too is result of a proper non-dating matrimony site; lot of my family too married through these worlds of advances!

#Yahoo #BharatMatrimony

2009-2012 blogs – i was awaiting to achieve little more to showcase it on website as then it made sense to put it all together as “me”. My blogs had a post of all my activities–these are now brands and companies. #YES

Born in family with such an environment of advancements, it becomes inevitable for no reason or rather a correlative need to fuel goals in life.

It was not a person to influence me.

It was my Immigration Status – I received my EAD and this status unlocked everything that i awaited. I am USA Citizen from several years!

As a solopreneur all my life, i have admiration of businesses and individuals with a good discipline in certain fields! Most often, i read stories of businesses and owners. Specific to fields like fashion, sports, performing arts, entrepreneur paths, IT and fields of my specialities – to name a few. This admiration should not be mixed as an influence or personal liking.

Talk about timing!

In 2008-2009, my kid’s schedule became predictable as they were 3-4 years old and this allowed me to take projects or gigs on timeline, without any disturbances.

2009-2012 – The whole site and company plan took place. A rough draft of “may be” of teen-young life of someday took a shape. I finally could launch my own companies for easy billing and several other services without immigration or time restrictions as a next step to my freelance work. I could plan long haul without restrictions and then i had my own kids in it too. #YES

The idea for hetaln.com began taking shape during these days of my new business establishment. This involved SEO, branding, marketing, advertising and digital strategy packages from service providers. This part of package became an easy pathway to initiate the site-plan.

Grace and Grooves had its site from 2009-2010 from a blog attached to mine to a direct e-commerce site upon registration of company, so it made sense to have my own as package and through my IT interns. What started as a blog post were brands and then became companies as I grew.

Time rules my life – Around this time, a few of my own teachers’ aka guru’s kids, all over USA and the ones-new to USA entered my arena of my specialities either through degrees or through college teams thus, connected in 2010. And i had these non-stop from 2005, including my own brother in law, in-laws families’ kids so i had my eyes set on something of my own just as anybody would. While some opened their own consultancy in India and other countries which made easier for me.My work expanded and so did my freelancer capacity, teams of my own and my efforts multiplied, and this shaped my vision of site. Everything became direct international!

Right people showed up :). Some cousins too just graduated from university seeking some clarity. All these kids were fresh out of college and needed a boost of “real world” experience.

In 2017, I began turning that vision to reality for full portal-website;these factors aligned to have a stronger need!

As top 1% in family and friends to offer career and life guidance in fields of my expertise, this fueled my need of site even stronger. As an educational consultant, this was a norm for me in my teen years as corporate professional life was very early!

As a certified international trainer specialized in proper training and development field itself, i could run these officially as separate field. These years thus, became pillars of my IT training programs for fresh grads too.

In 2020, the path took focus to people like me in multiple businesses and freelancers on larger scale, as i am. It also became one place to document my journey, preserving my milestones, and continuing to build for the future–money is always one of them.

The website hetaln.com thus is a platform of my collective achievements, till date.
Just something more than an online portfolio—it is the digital home of my own founder’s vision. Today, hetaln.com represents my journey as a founder, entrepreneur, artist, mentor, and lifelong achiever-money is one of them. I share my work of all types in all fields, my ventures, my experiences–be it as team, as mentor, director or as leader, and the results that have shaped all i create.

It is past and present!

Thank you everyone who has been a part of this journey as some made sincere efforts to align pertaining to my world. My world of “need” nonetheless—is this small. Barely outside influences :).

Past and present offered alot and so will future.
