What My Gold Medal MBA Never Taught Me... [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]


Episode #128 -


Hello 👋 Reader !

I was a Ranker Chartered Accountant.
I was a Gold Medalist MBA.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
The degrees on the wall didn’t prepare me for the real world.

Because intelligence today is no longer about memory or marks.
It’s about something else entirely.


Here are the 4 Qualities of Intelligence my formal education never gave me:

#1 Perception: Seeing reality as it is, not as I wish it to be.
#2 Curiosity: The courage to try, explore, and experiment without fear of failure.
#3 Humility: Letting go of my favourite ideas when confronted with something better.
#4 Consistency: The discipline to repeat the cycle of learning, unlearning, and relearning.

And then this quote became my compass:


“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write… but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

This is exactly why I built the Think And Grow Rich Mastermind.

It’s not about piling on more information.
It’s about transformation.

Inside the mastermind, you don’t just learn success principles—
↳ You relearn how to think.
↳ You unlearn limiting beliefs.
↳ You apply proven strategies with accountability.

That’s the edge no degree can give you.

Now let me ask you—
👉 Which of these 4 qualities of intelligence do you feel you need the most right now?


Action Step :

Write it down today. Just naming it brings awareness. Awareness is the first step to change.


🎯 Power Resource:

Listen to this everyday for 21 days !


If this resonates and you’re ready to go beyond information into true transformation, just hit reply with the word “LEARN.”

I’ll share how you can be part of the Think And Grow Rich community that’s rewriting success stories every single day.


P.S.

Degrees may open doors. But only transformation keeps you in the room.

Episode #146Hello Reader ! Most people will repeat the same mistake again. They will visualise… but not systemise. They will affirm… but not act. They will wait for signs from the universe… while avoiding discipline. And by February, the excitement will be gone. Not because they lack talent. Not because they lack desire. But because manifestation without structure is fantasy. If you’re still hoping 2026 will change your life automatically— I want to save you a year of frustration....

And clarity usually comes only when life stops flattering you. So today, instead of sharing “wins”, I want to share 10 mistakes I made in 2025 — and...
