Meaningful New Year Resolutions

/ Amit / Leave a comment

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, many of us embark on the tradition of setting resolutions, envisioning a fresh start and new opportunities. Beyond the cliche promises to hit the gym or adopt a healthier lifestyle, consider resolutions that prioritize personal growth and well-being. Perhaps it’s cultivating mindfulness, fostering stronger connections with loved ones, or learning a new skill. The key is to set realistic goals that align with your values, promoting long-term success.

In 2024, let’s move away from the pressure of grandiose resolutions and instead focus on incremental changes that lead to lasting impact. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and be kind to yourself along the way. By fostering a mindset of continuous improvement, you can turn your resolutions into meaningful habits that shape a brighter, more fulfilling future. Here’s to a year of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of our most authentic selves. Cheers to a New Year filled with purpose and positive transformation!

Cheers!

Purple Cow

/ Amit / Leave a comment

The best way to make your mark on the world is to find a way to do something that hasn’t been done before. Seth Godin calls this “the purple cow.”

In a world of commodity, being different is the key to success. Standing out is the only way to get attention. And attention is the key to success. So how do you become a purple cow? It’s not easy, but it’s possible. You need to find a way to be remarkable, to do something that people will talk about. You need to be unique and interesting. It’s not enough to be good. You need to be different. You need to be a purple cow.

Cheers!

Specific vs Unique Knowledge

Listening to a podcast from Naval Ravikant, I am thinking about some of the points mentioned regarding people’s quest to be unique. Uniqueness is lost as soon as two people learn to do the same thing. People should work on developing specific knowledge to become irreplaceable.

Scott Adams recommends people to develop 3 skills (the you are naturally good at) and be in the top 25% percentile in each of them. By doing that you develop a combination which makes you exceptionally valuable.

I highly recommend Naval’s podcast to anyone who is looking for some clarity in understanding basic principles of entrepreneurship, finding mentors, co-founders and believe in long term game.

Cheers!
