ReWork: Change the Way You Work Forever Book review | Completed in 4 hours , Here are my learnings
Dec 29, 202009:10
Learning with Mindfulness -> There are things to be learnt from everything that we do

Learning with Mindfulness -> There are things to be learnt from everything that we do

There are things to be learned from everything that we do

In sports-cricket, walking, playing, talking with people, helping others .....and the list goes on

Now let's take a holistic approach

What are the things that you learn from watching a cricket match?

Just try gathering your thoughts.

You could say, I find it entertaining, Cricket can help me pass time, I am a great fan of Dhoni, etc

But I try to see it this way:
1. It keeps me aware of the need for being Physically fit
2. Preparation to Final match == Rehearsals to Exam/speech
3. Learn to reach and get inspired by how leaders perform under pressure
4. It's the team as a whole that wins - everyone brings in something unique to the result
5. Not every ball could be hit for a boundary the same way not every time we can expect some reward
6. Maintaining a constant run rate is important to keep up to the game, it's the same in our lives too- but of course context changes

I could possibly think of 100 other things

But I hope you are getting a gist of it

It's just the shift in the way you tweak your though process to grab these learnings from anything and everything that you do

To observe these learnings mindfulness in whatever you do also plays a key role to help you observe everything that's happening around you

Yearly journaling that helps me make wonders | 10X the way you retrospect your life

Humans often overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.  With another year 2020 coming to an end let's see the one habit that has really helped me a lot to give myself direction whenever I wanted.


That is the yearly journal. You might have heard of a daily journal where people write every day but I think that's too short of a time bracket for me and a lot of others who don't have the habit of writing. So here's something that I follow known as a Yearly Journal lets talk about how this has helped me better manage time, give myself direction, make wiser decisions and also keep my spirit up when I feel low or frustrated


Tune in lets talk about this yearly journaling habit and how it always comes to my rescue

I have always had different perspectives about things around me and always wanting a medium to exchange my though. When I meet #students of my age or of similar range I always find a lot of immaturity in though and action, wanting to help my peers when I have conversations with them I see by imparting small pieces of advices and reality sharing they change the way they think . So this is all why and what I am doing.

Launch it right now| Ep. #034

In episode #034 of 10pm Startup Talks I am going to discuss on - A lot of #Founders make a Single big mistake which is not Starting up. You might say what is this you are saying its silly. Let me elaborate: A lot of Founders spend a lot of time Thinking, Doubting, Building #startups product for Months. Somewhere down the line they miss out and they eventually lose interest. I am definitely sure if you all must have experienced this sometime or the other Just don't let that happen. Use the lean method & Launch right-away. In most of the cases you just need a Landing page & you are set So build your MVP as soon as possible and just let it go( Its just step 1). So don't waste a lot of time over there. At this time you don't even know what exactly the customers need or what exactly is the segment you are targeting 1. Launch Quickly 2. Get your initial customers( could be very small as well) 3. Talk to them about the problems they face & get their feedback 4. Build on Feedback & keep Iterating Don't ask the Customers what feature they want. Rather ask them where & what the problem is that they are facing. Its for you to solve this problem by bringing in features. That's for you to decide

3. Send connect request along with a note( note: Hi Mr.X. Hope you are doing great & having a wonderful Tuesday. I had been following your content for sometime now. Your content & experience you share with your network was helpful to me. __(+ve comments ) Let's connect & have meaningful discussions. 

4. You will get connected. Send some General messages, greetings to and fro. Ask doubts, clarifications. 

5. Then ask them if they could come on for an exploratory talk. ( Write: Hey Mr.X I would really appreciate an exploratory talk so that we could know each other better and find out if we could be helpful to each other, or any sort of a collaborative or partnerships. Hoping to connect on a call soon . ( Also specify what is for them or anything that could convince them to invest time to talk to you . You should sound clear, genuine and interested)

Why What and How of starting Podcast of your own| Ep. #019

Why What and How of starting Podcast of your own| Ep. #019

In episode #019 of 10pm Startup Talks I am going to discuss on How I had started with podcasting for a couple of months now. So I got a lot of messages into my inbox asking how I show start my Podcast. I have interest and willing to put on time as well but unable to figure out a lot of stuff like "HOW WHERE WHAT WHY " . So I set on this episode to help out people creating stuff as an audio and put them as a Podcast. 

In this I explain 

1. What could Podcast help you in. 

2. How should you figure out on what should you put your podcast on. 

3. How you should prepare with the topics and planning. 

4. How many types of Podcasts are there and what are the differences. What are the major things you should consider. How to pick among also how I picked for myself. 

5. How can you distribute your podcast on 8 major Platforms with a single click.


Doesn't it sound powerful enough. It is it's awesome too. People started recognizing me and coming in with my podcast's name asking how it's going on. Do you know they are listening too. It is creating a Personal Brand. I once read that if you be consistent with you episodes for a couple of years on your Podcast. You would rank among Top in the category and you would get a ton of opportunities without even worrying about anything as you have put your knowledge for FREE for people to learn. So a lot of people are wise enough to grasp what you are, what you do, how you do and reach out to you for sure. I just want to help everyone for free to start their own Podcast be it for Business, for Institute's, for self it's could create a great difference. But in one line you have to be engaging and Consistent Nothing else . So go check out the episode to Skyrocket your Podcast journey. You could reach out to me personally if you would love to have my Support at any point of your Podcasting journey. Cheers keep going guys.

Advantages of Startingup Early| Ep. #017

In episode #017 of 10pm Startup Talks I am going to discuss on - There is a doubt of Failure which stops a lot of people from getting things started right away. We just try to put off this fear by saying that I would learn and get better at things now and let's startup later. But there are exclusive stuff that you would be able to get benefited of if you start early by trying to pull off things as early as possible and get going. A lot of things that you should know will help you get started and would motivate to do so. I would be sharing my journey too and how starting early proved to me a great support thought my journey . You should probably start early too by the end of the episode you might realize that you should start now as well. So just grab a drink and start playing this episode. Cheers from my side .

No Value? Better Quit as early as possible| Ep. #014

No Value? Better Quit as early as possible| Ep. #014

In Episode #014 of 10pm Startup Talks I would like to share with my experience that If working in an Organization doesn't motivate you to work as it doesn't align with your Values or anything. I see this as a loss for both for the Organization as well the Organization. The better step is to realize and understand to put this experience under the Unsatisfactory case and realize that it doesn't satisfy you. Might be you could be Intellectually or Creatively capable of doing better than what you had been dg till date. Don't adjust, go ahead and take a quit from the organization and try to find something that really makes you feel like working. Try to figure out a workspace and Organization that would realize your skills and give you responsibility. Be in a journey to find this one. If you really stick by keep adjusting in the place where you don't belong by adjusting after a considerable amount of time you would lately realize after you had already spent a large amount of your time. As  work is a large part of your Life just try figuring out until you find the best match for you. Stop not until you achieve it. Tune in to know how I think of this stuff.
