Realize this: no permission required to change careers, start something new perhaps a hobby or learning how to code.The launch date to the above is ur willingness to enact change.B4 u set out to build a vc backed dream,build a small biz 50/100k annual rev. I assure u it's tough
Small changes like starting a hobby or burning a bridge to move the f* on teach u life's biggest lessons. Always over index on small data vs big data till u cant. Unless you can perfect your skills at a small scale not many can last perfecting skills at a large one. Start today.
Hustle culture 24/7 is reductive. If you are always complaining of too much going on you are likely already loosing the battle. Focus, wins; concentrated execution wins all the time. Don't start something unless u genuinely believe in impact and outcomes of teams vs $s only.
No shame in building for $s but make sure you like what you see in the mirror when u can't balance empathy against $s. Every 1s different no 2 people have the same path if all u do is measure other peoples path to success vs charting your own, youll always be obsessed with others
The only obsession worth having is with one's success whilst being self aware. All else is overrated.The same as the rich telling u to skip the latte to save the 5$.That doesn't make any one rich its just the rich being focused on improving their outcomes whilst making u pity urs
So at 5$*360 lattes a year that's 1800 saved. Do the math u don't become anything or any one by denying ur self the coffee just because some rich guy with a trust fund and a book says so. You grow by having infinite dreams and energy with the ability to grow vs save.
Listen more talk less. When u listen u are learning with ur brain. When u talk u are only verbalising what u know. Strangers are great, reach out don't be afraid the world is full of good people. Don't be shy. Never let the lack of language fluency hold u back.
The person on the other end of the interaction is already impressed u speak two languages. White people or any reasonable people don't operate on 'loag kia kaheen gay' principles. No one gives a damn. The worst that can happen in reaching out to a stranger is a 'No'.
A No's marginal utility is much better than a regrets.Have less regrets and more No's. The only way you have more of those is by trying, asking/doing. The most successful people are those who are un afraid of the No and go into a deal/convo not being afraid of it. Optimize for it
Burning bridges is key to un chaining your self from what ever holds u back. Sucking up to toxicity just because you may need it later only goes to show that you don't have enough real contacts or the confidence in ur self, as u keep going back to folks who u don't like.
It's the same as being in an abusive relationship and telling your self it will get better or that you deserve it. Nothing can be farther from the truth. A phone book cleanse & block feature unlocks insane value. U owe nothing to any one. Write off & move on. Negativity sucks.
Only be in a room where u are welcome vs making your self welcome. So either add value as a business or person and always offer more than u consume. Never be In a room where you only Consume the discussion vs participate in it. Don't be some desi guys Chota bhai/behan in biz
U can't choose family but u can chose biz relationships. Never be a Chota. U will be marginalized if u have no voice at the table. Go be in a diff room instead. Start small(independently) /start today. Don't leave your day job till u must but do leave it when u think it's time.
A full time job is also akin to Entrepreneurship where ur boss is like a large but single client. Build some thing, so u have more clients vs 1 @rebootdude @jehan_ara @YusufJan @Huk06 @fmsheik @TalhaIzhar @owaisz @amaarikhlas @babushka99 @FaizaYousuf @SaadGH @Ash_Kalim @ZMoosaPK
