Responsible
You are hiring people who are responsible first. When someone owns a task, they will go to any length to complete it with perfection. It is easy to hire people with experience or 10X on their resume when you are short-term result-oriented focus. When you are aspiring to build a legacy while keeping the culture …
Stable
Building a website or product and calling yourself is easy. The difficult part is creating a sustainable and profitable business. The journey is unknown and full of failure and rejection. The most important requirement is having a mentally stable co-founder. We humans are usually empathetic and virtuas. We are civilized and nice overall. This idea …

Partners
Berkshire Hathaway had Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet. It was their friendship and complementary skills that sailed the firm. Looking back at life and where I am hitting 40 in a few quarters, I feel it took me a long time to forge that relationship. Be it personal or professional to find people who align with similar long-term vision. The loved …
facade
We only see the winners and the happy moments when building a company or relationship. What goes behind, the battles, losses, and pains, are less mentioned. It feels like a facade at work where only one side is shown to the world, be it the media or the winners. The self-help books, entrepreneurial podcasts, and …
Root
We are lost in the glamorous social media. We have forgotten who we are, what we need, and what we want. This is why we need influencers. We are running for fame, money, and spotlight. The progress we are calling for is eroding our social fabric and bond that had existed for centuries. Our prefrontal …
