Not necessary to stick to the career if you don’t like it.

You have time. You have multiple options. You have a choice.

You just have to exercise them. And live life with the mindset that you can do anything.

The world is yours, if your mindset is yours.

Good things take time.

However, you have to make time for them.

Even when you don’t have time caught in the cobwebs of the world.

For so much time that it eventually becomes good, and makes more time for you.

To have more time and more good things, you must start with making more time and doing better things.

Other than money, here are some investments that take care of your most valuable assets:

• Premium subscriptions of apps: It gives you the best. Why not?
• Travel: It makes you reflect. Much needed ingredient of success.
• Making the team make their decisions: It makes me trust them. And they get better at decision making.

If it multiplies your money, it is a good investment. If it multiplies all your assets, it is an investment you won’t regret.

Everyone in our team adheres to a pre-decided process.

We stay true to it, come what may.
If we don’t, every week, in a team email, the delays and errors are highlighted. And also, the percentage of an individual’s contribution of errors to team’s errors.

It shows how we have contributed/derailed the process.
And acts as a fuel to continue doing it.

Process and transparency create accountability, for people who are driven and taken care of.

Sending cold emails

Reading the right books

Saying sorry, when you must

Loving yourself

Making sure to live by your version of happiness.

It is the simplest of things that make the biggest of differences.

Do well what you are supposed to do today.

Plan well what you are supposed to do tomorrow.

Reflect well on what you did yesterday.

And you shall live happily ever after, in your relationship with time.

We all know what a job of a leader is. We read about it often.

However, a less-known job of a leader is to make sure they don’t set their team up for failure. Which means, figuring out where the team member is most likely to bloom, and plant them there.

It requires patience, it requires willingness to let go of only your selfish interests, and it also requires a lot of self respect to allow the team to uphold that for themselves.

The job of a leader, is to think success. For everyone.

One of the fondest memories of my childhood is a fun game my sis and I used to play every night before going to bed.

“Aaaa main mar gaya” (“I just died”)

In the game, one had to pretend to be dead.
The other had to crack jokes to awaken the dead.

If the dead smirked/smiled/laughed, they lost!

As I reflect upon those beautiful days today, I realize how as a kid one of the hardest things to do is to not laugh.

And then we grow up.
We get better at not laughing!
The hardest thing then becomes to laugh.

The easiest thing to learn from a child is to be a child again, sans all the weights we have gathered along the way.

Picking a career is hard.

However, when you treat it similar to dating, it becomes much easier.

And I love it. Why?

The way to get married to your passion is not to settle with the first one you like.

The way is to date as many passions as you can, spend some time with them, and then pick the one you think is right for you.

If you quit our job to pursue your passion, you will put the pressure on our passion to make money – which is the easiest way to kill it. Because now you won’t enjoy doing it, you will HAVE to do it.

The right technique doesn’t force you.
The right technique flows through you, with patience.

We have content for our team planned very well in advance, at least a week prior.

Thus, when I had to post the rakhi reel with my sister, I requested my team to not post a reel.

That is the power of process. That any instant content coming in has to stop the planned content. And we wouldn’t want it any different!

Processes are the true viral content.
