#RWESmartBytes Week 2: GRATITUDE

#RWESmartBytes Week 2: GRATITUDE

"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow" Melody Beattie

I LOVE THAT QUOTE, DO YOU? 🤔

The topic for today is
#gratitude. 😇

Gratitude to me is the feeling of being grateful or thankful. Usually, this takes place when we are happy and this usually occurs when we've come across a major life event.

However, in a recent post by Steve Wohlenhaus, he mentions that major life events only represent 10% of the overall happiness and the rest 90% is up to us.

We must also be mindful of hedonic adaptation, which is our ability to return to stable levels of happiness despite major positive or negative life events. In other words, we start taking things for granted.

The solution is to practice deliberate gratitude on a daily basis.

In 2018 Summer Allen wrote a whitepaper 'The Science of Gratitude'.

Benefits of practicing daily gratitude:

1. Increase in happiness and positive mood.
2. More satisfied with life.
3. Less likely to experience burnout.
4. Better physical health.
5. Better Sleep and most importantly
6. Greater Resilience.

Do let me know in the comments whether you have a daily gratitude practice or not and whether this motivated you? 👇👇

Today on the show we are chatting with Mr. Pankaj Thakar who has over 30+ years of experience in entrepreneurship and he is also an alumnus of Harvard and MIT.
After launching multiple start-ups globally Mr. Pankaj Thakar decided to mentor start-ups and he now is the Chief Mentor at PadUp Ventures which is a 360 Mentorship based incubator and accelerator.
In today's episode we discuss:

2. Why entrepreneurs should learn the structure of starting up a company rather than trial and error? (This one shocked me as well!)

3. What should students and young professionals do to succeed in the time of a pandemic?

4. Why mentors are so important whether you are in employment or an entrepreneur?

Finally, Mr. Pankaj Thakar states that the most important thing to do if you want to succeed is to maintain honesty and integrity.

#1: How To & Why Start A Side Hustle With Hala Taha

#1: How To & Why Start A Side Hustle With Hala Taha

There's a very famous rule known as the 40% Rule which states that when your mind tells you that you are done, that you are exhausted, and that you cannot go any further you're actually only 40% done. 

Many of us go through life without ever questioning where we spend our time but today on the show we learn that the secret to getting things done is being intentional with our time. 

Hala Taha is the host of Young and Profiting Podcast which is part of the coveted Apple Top 10 Podcast but this is not her full-time job, she actually works full time at Disney, she has a freelance project and she has recently launched a Podcast marketing Agency. She is able to do all of this by being very intentional with her time.

We also discuss the insights she's had from being on this amazing journey, things to keep in mind when starting a podcast and how to make it on LinkedIn. 

We hope you get some value out of this and if you do please consider sharing this with someone you think might benefit from this and also consider leaving your reviews along with topics that you would like to hear next.


Until Then Take Care!
