Stay Relevant!

 This week I came across an article in a leading daily on how various Hotels are adding new products/services to Stay Relevant in the ongoing crisis. Ironically it took a crisis for them to launch new products & services to survive. In the fast-changing, disruptive and uncertain world, Staying Relevant has now become a necessity to Survive and Grow. Let us Imagine our provisional store next door, which will be irrelevant soon if he refuses to offer free delivery services at the same or better speed as various ECommerce platforms are doing now. I keep saying Work From Home/Anywhere is making World One Marketplace, and disrupting the Way We Work & Live. We All need constantly adapt ourselves to fast-moving opportunities to Survive & Thrive, it's no more a choice. Also, it becomes all the more important to be aware of what's happening around us, Keep Learning News Ways of Working & Living, and to Keep Asking ourselves & others what will it take for all of us to Survive the ongoing crisis and what will it take to Stay Relevant.

We often stay stagnate under a false pretense: of safety. We convince ourselves that our lives are more stable if we cling to our Past & established routines. Courtesy of the ongoing crisis, the world outside is changing very fast & at a disruptive pace. What was relevant in the past may not be relevant now. We all need to adapt ourselves by continuously learning a new way of working and living. In our Startup Jeevitam, We keep telling the Work Seekers to constantly learn new skills, reskill, and upskill themselves to stay relevant to available work opportunities. We believe that there is no dearth of Work Opportunities, we just need to learn to be relevant for the open opportunities. I personally make conscious efforts to read as many books, newspapers, magazines, and articles on social media to keep learning to Stay Relevant. I believe there is no age to learning, we learn in each phase of our life. We all always have a choice to make, either life teaches us lessons or we make conscious efforts to Keep Learning to Stay Relevant.

'It’s been true in my life that when I’ve needed a mentor, the right person shows up.' ~ Ken Blanchard. I also believe that in order to Stay Relevant, we should always have a Mentor who can help us whenever we are in need. I myself have been blessed to have been Mentored in every phase of my life and they played a very vital role in my career and personal life. Staying Relevant is a continuous process and We always need someone from whom we can seek counsel, discuss our viewpoints, and take advice on any aspect of work or life. Mentors who can do so could be could anyone, be our Teacher, Relative, Friend, Colleague, Professional, anyone whom you can trust and who is willing to help. In Jeevitam we have a very strong Advisory Board that is always willing to listen to us, advise us and help us wherever and whenever required. We All Need to Keep Evolving, Keep Learning, Keep Asking to Survive & Stay Relevant for the Future.

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...
