Think Big!


This week I had spent time with College Students who have so much energy but did not know what to do for their Livelihood because of the ongoing pandemic. We all decided to launch a Student Movement 'Ab Har Student Banega Atmanirbhar', essentially a movement wherein we are trying to Reimagine the Existing Outdated Campus Placement System and help Students find work. While setting targets on how many students we should have as part of the movement, I shared with them the Power of 10X and how it has shaped our Startup Journey at Jeevitam. The 10X Rule essentially says that we should set targets for ourselves that is 10X greater than what we believe we can achieve and we should take actions that are 10X greater than what we believe is necessary to achieve our goals. 

I firmly believe the biggest mistake most of us make in life is not setting goals high enough and taking massive actions to fulfill our true potential. I shared with the Students my experience of working in Largest Private Sector Bank wherein we used to first get audacious Targets which were almost impossible to achieve, then we used to put our heads together to figure out how we are going to achieve those numbers given, take massive action and we used to achieve them as a Team. Fear is a signal to do what we fear right now. We should not feed fear by waiting and letting it build. I think when people and businesses cut spending and focus on saving, which is the trend been seen in the ongoing crisis, should realize that they are also saving their energy, effort, and creativity as well.

One of the leading Corporates defied this fear and had recently raised a huge amount of money from leading Multinational Companies & Private Equity Players, showcasing them the huge opportunity. I think Success by others is an indication that something is possible. It should inspire us to Think Big. I keep saying that the present ongoing crisis has provided a massive push for change, it's an opportunity for everyone to reset the ways we Work & Live. We should Challenge traditions and established ways of thinking. In our Startup Jeevitam, We have Never played by the agreed norms of the industry, in fact, we have always questioned everything. I believe we should Think Big, Dream Big, Believe Big, And Our Results Will Be Big.

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...
