You can’t make someone a musician overnight. The same goes for anything that requires creativity. One has to be devoted enough to master the art.
We are living in the era of quick commerce, with everything we want now in an instant. As a result, we are forgetting creativity for instant delivery. The supply chain and automation are entering into everything.
We will soon transform into a zombie compromising on creativity.
It becomes critical to hire a team that aligns with the cause.
The first ten members shape the organization. Hire a mercenary who can go at any length for organizational success.
The team has to have the hunger and belief to win. You can’t get a dozen dead souls to compete in a high-energy execution battle.
No competitive individual will jump on a ship to sail into an uncertain entrepreneurship ride without a definite cause.
One of the jobs a founder should is straightening things up. The journey of any organization depends on its team. If you are incapable of talking to the team honestly, giving feedback, or taking criticism, don’t run a startup.
A successful team and a failing company are distinguished in execution and leadership needs to straighten things up. If over-communication is required do it, emergency action needs to be taken, take it. You cannot let the market dethrone you because you are too comfortable and not gearing up for changing times.
There are many talented folks in our country. When we say India’s talent is limited what it means is we don’t have a ready-to-consume workforce. We can drum beat over this limitation or upskill the ones around us.
With corruption in the blood of governance across the world and taxpayers’ money going to war or building a temple, expecting anything from the government is like getting a heart attack.
There are many entrepreneurs who use this adversity as an opportunity. Take for example Zoho. A SaaS company with over a billion in revenue. The F&B industry has been applying this for eternity, pick early, train, and uplift their living there by making a social change.
We cannot expect too much from the government. The country is a democracy as a miracle. Be the route, change the lives of millions around you, upskill them, and eradicate poverty.
Some people are victims of their own stupidity. Nobody can help them: it’s a vicious circle where they get lost. They craft narratives, stories, and actors in their minds. While you will feel pity for them, you cannot do anything. They will not listen to you or seek anyone else’s advice.
If you are raising such kids early on, take them for help early on. This will help them grow and live a regular life.
Look around, and you will witness people complaining. It can be family, work, world, politics, corruption, and the never-ending list. Now think again: what is any of them getting from their complaints? Maybe a conversation starter and free heartbeat increase.
This world runs because of a few who took charge of it, who rose to prominence and cemented the planet, and who preferred doing something before hitting the grave.
Our life on this planet is limited. We all have our set of limitations. We have the option to complain or take responsibility in our hands.
We are water. The body is essentially it. Unfortunately, our brain is like air, wandering without any control.
The beautiful part of the water is that it can make its course in any scenario and still sail. It can take any shape or size.
Our brain is lost in multiple things and scared of everything. Sadly, we cannot control it, like water{dam}. We can only observe and process it.
I have met many talented people with no itch. We are living in a divided world. The disparity between the rich and poor is increasing with time. Many who want to switch lanes and come out of poverty are desperate, they have hunger in their belly and are itching for opportunity.
At the same time, many born with a silver spoon aka well-to-doo families with generational wealth are becoming lazy. The hunger and itch is missing. They will soon realize in no time how wealth will disappear and the coming generation will have to bear the burden of it. People have generational wealth because someone in their generation had an itch in the past.
Fear adds vulnerability to our existence. The smartest in the world were initially scared to venture out. Many people die and go to the grave without fulfilling or taking a bet they were bullish on for decades.
Fear comes from upbringing and availability as well. If from the start, you are told what you cannot do, and not appreciated for your small wins, no matter what: you will avoid venturing out.
The only reality of life is that we are dying every second. But what is the point of living life with fear? You must believe in yourself more, go against the odds to win over your fear, and die peacefully because you tried.
Every con artist comes with an expiry date. In the initial days, people love them for their magnificent talking skills and fresh perspective on every subject. This adds to their confidence, so they continue doing their puppetry until people start getting bored.
The media loves these con artists because of their TRP and bytes. We have witnessed many dozen such mortals in our startup ecosystem in the last few years.
Look around you to notice many such cons showcasing their half-baked knowledge with no substance.
