πŸŽ‰ Celebrating my 48th Birthday Today πŸŽ‚ Reader !

Sharing "21 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was 21." These lessons have been pivotal in my journey:

1.Take big risks βœ…

I took the biggest risk of my life at age 40. I started coaching Think & Grow Rich when I myself was flat Broke ! Unconventional. Non-Confirming. Unprecedented. This One Decision transformed my life.

2.Enjoy the journey βœ…

I was running after success. Failing. Not Feeling Accomplished. I now know that Success is not a destination. Success is a journey. I am Enjoying every moment of it.

3.Family first βœ…

I lost my Dad at age 66. I loved him a lot. I regret that he could not see my current success. You never have enough time. Always ! Always! Always! keep Family First. Both Quality & Quantity Time.

4. Giving v/s Trading βœ…

When I used to Give, I always focused on getting. I was so stupid. I realized that when you Give, You Just give. Don’t Trade.

5. Character v/s Reputation βœ…

I was always worried about my Reputation. However, Character is more important. With a Strong Character, You cannot have a bad Reputation. Focus on Building Character. Reputation Gets Build Automatically.

6. Selling is Serving βœ…

A Salesman for me was a half bald man, wearing a tie and trying to sell me a Vacuum Cleaner. I realized that Selling is Serving. The More You Sell, the More you Serve & vice versa.

7. Competition is BS βœ…

There is nothing like Competition. I started to go the extra mile, improving my abilities. I eliminated & terminated my competition. Amateurs Compete. Professional Create.

8.Less is More βœ…

In My Quest of Self-Realization, I realized that there is no end in accumulation and gathering of material things. Embracing Minimalism I am now experiencing bliss.

9. Earning Money is an Exact Science βœ…

The amount of money you earn is in direct proportion to the Demand for what you do, your ability to do it and the difficulty to replace you. Every day I improvise on my ability. Period.

10.The Best Investment to do is in Yourself βœ…

Hetal & Me literally used our last emergency fund to invest in coaching and training programs. The only way it gets better for you is when you get better.

11.You Cannot Give Enough βœ…

I was always conservative while giving value. What a dumb fool I was ! I realized that you cannot give enough. Because when you give, you have to receive. You cannot avoid it !

12.Money Talks, Wealth Whispers βœ…

I loved to brag and show-off my rich toys in my youth. I realized that Fast & Quick Money makes lot of noise. But Enduring Richness & Wealth creates a legacy.

13.Listening v/s Hearing βœ…

Having Degrees across my visiting card, I was always the smart person around having answers for every question. I never listened. I only heard to reply. I realized that you hear with your ears, but you listen with your emotions.

14. Persistence Beats Talent βœ…

Had I Given up after Zero Sales in 7 Successive offline Training Programs, Had I given up after a streak of losses for the first few months of going online, I would not have built a million dollar industry in the coaching and training space.

15. Perfection is the Enemy of Good βœ…

I procrastinated in every area of my life. I want to make it the best. I want to have the best. In my quest of being best, I sacrificed being Good. Remember, First Standardize then Optimize.

16. Stretch v/s Tear βœ…

After attending Hundreds of Motivation Programs, and reading hundreds of books on success, I realized that motivation gets you make crazy goals which break you down. I now have my optimum range of goals that avoid breakdowns. Remember Stretch your Comfort Zone. Don’t Tear it !

17.Craving v/s Aversion βœ…

Emotions rule our life. Either we are craving for positive emotions. Or Trying to Averse Negative Emotions. Either ways You will end in Misery. The Secret lies in maintaining Equanimity.

18. The Golden Rule βœ…

Do Unto Others as you would have them do unto you. I just did lip-service of this rule. Never Implemented. Never Got results. But once I started to apply the Golden Rul every moment of my life, Results Sky-rocketed.

19. Stop Worrying what People think About you βœ…

No one is thinking about you. In fact, other people are thinking what you are thinking about them. Now Criticism Never Stops me. I take Massive Consistent Actions.

20. Know Thyself. The Truth Will Set You Free βœ…

I was very clever. Trying to change others. Now I am embracing Wisdom. Remember, Clever People Try to change the world. Wise people try to change themselves

21.Embracing Bliss is Simple βœ…

When you align yourself with Natural laws and follow them, You can achieve and manifest anything in life. Beyond Materialistic Goals of Financial Freedom. You can achieve True Enlightenment.

Episode #170 Dear Reader ! β€œI know what to do. Why don’t I keep doing it?” A new routine begins with excitement. Then work gets busy. Motivation drops. One missed day becomes a week. And quietly, β€œI’m going to do this” becomes β€œI’ll start again.” The painful part? It can begin to affect how much we trust ourselves. Inconsistency has a costβ€”even when no bill arrives. Consider these simple examples: Health: Missing three planned 30-minute walks each week adds up to 78 hours of movement missed...

Episode #169 Dear Reader ! One WhatsApp message can spoil the morning. One client rejection can spoil the week. One argument at home can spoil the relationship.

This is what we discussed in our Monday Call on one of the most powerful principles of success: Self-Control. Napoleon Hill explained that self-control is not merely about controlling anger. It is about...

Episode #168 Dear Reader ! Many people think they have a money problem. But very often, the real problem is not money. It is the way they think, feel and act around money. They work hard. They try to work smart. They learn new things. They make plans. They even set big goals. But still, something keeps stopping them from moving to the next level. Sometimes it is fear. Sometimes it is doubt. Sometimes it is guilt around receiving more. Sometimes it is the belief that money comes only through...
