We underestimate the power of compounding. Be it with a task, action items, or picking up a hobby. I don’t subscribe to that 10000 hours of mastery but believe in the process of compounding. All we need is little effort every day but for 365 days a year. Reading a book for 30 mins every …

panic
Some of us are not happy with whatever we have got. We thrive in panic. If everything is going normal in our life, we will get worried. It is more like living in a boiling pot and live life as long as being roasted. People who suffer most from such people are their loved ones, …
perception
In the end, it is your customer who will define the value of your product. Those marketing and PR can get your sales, licensing done only for a limited period. As a founder, you must be having a great vision, roadmap, and expectation. But if a customer fails to get those rewards from it, their …

Drinking or not drinking coffee post-lunch. In every instance of our life, we are fighting with ourselves and trying to convince ourselves for our actions. That’s …
hiring
I have been following the commentary on hiring over Twitter. Most of it is a rant. As in how impossible is hiring and building, retaining a team. I am not part of that brigade. I have been on a startup journey for over four years and running a tight ship. We have had attrition, people …

Are we growing every day individually along with team and organization? Our life is limited. Every breath of ours, we are getting closer to death. …
