1) All religions started as a solution to a problem of lack of unity, but eventually people's interpretations converted it into a problem for the solution of peace.
2) Everyone, including atheists has something as their "God value", and the newest God value is The Algorithm, especially for content creators.
3) The future of jobs is very different from what we were prepared for in school. Content and creativity will become hygiene factors for businesses.
4) Platforms are not too nice to creators, but starting your own social platform is not easy. Managing supply and demand is classic chicken and egg problem.
5) 90% of learning happens through people on passive content. Ultimately, the OKR od ed-tech is completion rate, not just number of courses sold.6
6) Value is always subjective and one's perspective influences what one sees through their perspective. You might see a chicken as a pet, while someone else sees is as meat.
7) Everyone loves eating sausage, but no one wants to see how its made. All positive work has elements of negativity in the process of creating that work. Learn to accept it.
8) The whole concept of "everyone is different" is a lie. When you travel, you realise that humans are 99.99% similar.
1) Build "profi-cons", not unicorns, since bootstrapped companies being scaled with a promoter's money and yet being profitable are a rare sight.
2) Monetization takes a different route based on the nature of the market. In the west, markets are deeper and single products are scalable, while n the east, you scale your user with bundled products, and then build from there.
3) Platforms are very valuable but very hard to build. most people believe they are building platforms and marketplaces, but what they are actually building is a product.
1) Agility and adaptation in organizations are always muddled with short term pain, but it must be done nonetheless. Make peace with it.
2) Creating a full-stack suite of products entails the risk of being perceived differently by different people, often skewed to one end of the spectrum. Accept it, and mould it in your favour by delivering beyond expectations.
3) Processes are limited by nothing other than your own imagination. When forced by constraints, if the team at Zilingo can handle supply-chain management via remote teams, what's your excuse?
1) Product management stems out of a process to solve a problem, and then converting that process into a repeatable system that can scale.
2) While building a product, start by understanding the bare-minimum work-flow of the process first. As you scale up, they’ll be a gap to fill, and then you build a product to fill that gap
3) @nikhilkamathcio believes that you must keep a 2-way communication open while the product is being built, to ensure that the Beta users are giving real0time feedback that can mould the final product.
1) Changing the world starts with a desire to prove to the world what you can do, but eventually becomes much larger than that. When you realize your true potential, it’s your responsibility to deliver that.
2) Work-life balance is not something to be optimised for. It’s far more effective to work on work-life harmony, where both fuel each other, rather than sacrifice the limited time.
3) Most people make the mistakes of getting stuck in the “build trap”. It’s more important to focus on figuring on what to build, and then measure what you build.
1) Don't run away from suffering. Choose to enter it, study it and learn about why it exists. Pain and failures hold all.the secrets to life that you're looking for.
2) Your mind has the ultimate tactical advantage over you. It's built to keep you safe and uncomfortable, but because of its over protective nature, it limits growth.
3) The most important control is the control you have on your mind. Controlling what your mind focuses on is massive leverage in a world filled with puppets controlled by their minds.
1) Livestreams add an incentive to control the audience that makes it feel raw and community-oriented. It creates massive leverage in engagement.
2) Context switching is a core skill for entrepreneurs and creators alike. Whether its operations in a startup, to mindsets and personas of difference platforms, you got to be able to make that switch.
3) There's no alternative to understanding your audience on every platform. Find out what they care about, and then find your voice that resonates with what they really want and need to listen to.
