Dream Big. Work Hard. Stay Humble!

This week I was in Dharamshala to attend Himachal Pradesh Global Investors Meet. There I had the opportunity to listen in person to our Prime Minister. In his speech, he shared his Big Dreams for the Nation, how we all have to work hard to achieve these dreams (he himself is known to be working hard tirelessly without break for years) and at the same time we need to be humble (the way he carried himself with humility). I believe Big Dreams attract Big People. If we have determination and belief in our big dreams, we will succeed in spite of all the hardships we may face. At the same time, we have to work hard to achieve big dreams because they won't be realized without a fight. Besides, we always need to stay humble, share the credit and wealth, remaining focussed and hungry to continue the journey of success.

As a Startupreneur over the years, I've learned that failure will always come. We have to learn to give these failures a big squeeze, smile at them, humble ourselves to them and then use them as a springboard to send ourselves on our way to strength, success, and fulfillment. I believe we have to have a big vision and take very small steps to get there. We have to be humble as we execute but visionary and gigantic in terms of our aspiration. In the Startup industry, it's not about grand innovation, it's about a lot of little innovations and hard work: every day, every week, every month, making something a little bit better, a little bit bigger.

I strongly believe that success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. In my Startup journey, I am actually doing everything I am passionate about. At the same time, I think success is not a good teacher, it's the failures that make us humble. As it's important to be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to our head. I am often asked by Young Students 'What's the secret to success?' I keep telling them that there are no such secrets. I keep telling them To Dream Big, To Be Hungry. To Be Humble. And To Always Be the Hardest Worker in the room.

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
