I would recommend everyone to get into a sales role in their lifetime. The earlier one gets, the more experience it makes you better a person.
Sales teach us about rejection and celebrating our small win. It makes us more grateful and reminds us of the importance of personal relationships.
We become successful in sales by solving pain and delighting customers.
Last few weeks, I have heard from a few friends about competitors and how one should run fast and whatnot.
In the last five years of building taghash, we have not gotten into FOMO of competition. The only thing that has worked for us is working closely with customers, solving their pain, and charging for the product.
We found everything else as a distraction.
As a founder, it becomes super important to stay focused and know where not to waste time.
When we are in a team, we care about success together. It is more like an army working together for a cause. The incentive is the organization’s success above all. It is leadership 101.
We forget taking care of the team, treating everyone well, and keeping health above all are not something prioritized. Everything ends up being salary and shiny laptops and whatnot.
We are all different: work-life balance, an interesting problem to solve and respect matter to many others.
We are not grateful enough. We tend to focus on what we don’t have. Where or how someone did not help us. We are angry and burnt for what did not work for us.
Our life on this planet is limited, and going through what we don’t have or who did not champion our cause is not the right attitude.
What we should do it so work with our believers, and be grateful to those who stood by us when we had nothing or nowhere to go.
Everyone likes sailing with the course or prays to the rising son. A few misfits back people with no pedigree or history. We should be grateful to them all.
To get what we want in life requires a lot of hard work and struggle. Some would think it is easier to lead a life if born with a silver spoon. But that is not the case. They have challenges of different levels. Superstars or actors kids die fitting into the shoes of their parents.
Our life is a sum of happiness, pain, and misery. It is on us to decide what and how we lead it.
When we are angry or in a burnout zone.
It’s easy to blame or point fingers. We say things or take actions we don’t mean to, but we do that. Our rationality takes a back seat as the actions are emotion-driven.
We have to be empathetic and understand the state.
In the end, relationships and connections matter in life. This small phase of life gets forgotten soon.
Our lives depend on uncertainties. The sooner we realize and accept it, we will be at peace. It makes us progressive and gives us reason to move the needle and work harder.
Knowing what we don’t want in life makes us sane and thrive under uncertainty. We thus focus on minimising risk and pain.
Is fear the manifestation of our inexperience?
How will we know the depth of a river without swimming in it?
Is it the result-oriented world making us more fearful. We are more risk averse and fearless of failing.
There is a child persona inside all of us. As we age, it goes dormant. Once in a while, we meet friends and loved ones who comfort us. That is when this child comes back to life.
Our modern life leaves no room for idleness and community participation as it used to be in the past generations. As a result, we are not ourselves but goal-chasing robots. It is making us sick, miserable, and depressed.
When was the last time you laughed for hours and let the kid within you be out there?
Some successful folks I know have perfected the wall of creating a life of its own. It is like rational compartmentalization of time and effort. They ace at everything in bits and pieces slowly. They are not a perfectionist at one thing but good at everything.
We spend too much time on things we are obsessed with: startups, relationships, or hobbies. We are focused on it. It reaps all the benefits.
What about other things we are missing out on: getting old, stressed, and not travelling enough to see the world or Not seeing our ailing parents enough.
