𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢,

I am not married, and I do not have children. I provide this caveat because by the time you finish reading this, you may think, "She doesn't understand."

#DearCEO

However, wisdom is not circumstantial. You must take what makes sense to you and then, leave the rest. So here's my story.

I am the child of a high achieving woman. In her lifetime, my mother ran four businesses at different points while raising six children.

This came at a huge personal cost. And so, this post is for female CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs. I would like to share the lessons from my mom.

WHO DO YOU ANSWER TO? A CASE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

[Before you read this article, please take a quick poll to provide feedback about my newsletters, so I know whether to continue writing them: forms.gle/xUb26A6MYGLtTP…]

#Life #Leadership #WakingThoughts

From 2015 to 2020, a series of seemingly unrelated events culminated in a personal crisis. Here's the timeline of what happened.

In the summer of 2015 my mom died, and then 6 months later, in 2016, my dad followed. By 2017, I started a company and considered leaving my day job.

I eventually became a full time entrepreneur in 2020, setting up two more companies. But, my co-founder couldn't join me immediately. He was transitioning from his own company and put in for a Master's degree abroad.

I need to buy a physical Bible, so I can reduce my screen time.

Even though I regulate my social media use, I spend too much time on my laptop for work and on my phone for note taking & reading. I can't even remember the last time I read a physical book.

Note taking is what I need to solve for. I write a lot. And any time I use a physical notepad, I still need to transcribe to my phone before I can turn the notes into emails, blog posts etc. So it just saves me time to write on my phone directly.

Be ready for help.

I've never believed in reinventing the wheel. If someone is already doing what I want to do, I'll gladly join. But I've noticed two things that visionary builders do wrong.

1. You fail to publicize what you do because you're too busy building. This is a mistake. You would gain many synergies if people were aware of your work.

2. You have no structure to onboard help. People hear about what you're building and want to help, but there's no immediate way to plug in. So you squander the goodwill.

I FAILED AND IT SUCKS

Last week, I failed at something so monumental that it knocked me off my life axis. All my future plans and dreams went out of the window temporarily.

#Failure #Thread

I failed at something I prepared for, for several months. I haven't done that volume of work in a while. Incredible goodwill and equity were deployed. And I prayed for so long and believed I had clarity of direction.

When I got the rejection email, I went into instant denial, disbelieving what I read. And then, I experienced instant diarrhea and headache. Interestingly, on the same day I had an important team meeting. So I needed to drag myself out of bed, even though I just wanted to weep.

It always pains me when a creative person finds God or Christianity and then becomes more conservative and starts limiting their gifts to church alone.

It's like their brain cells slowly die after feeling the corrosive effects of organized religion. It's always astonishing because I believe the Holy Spirit to be an extremely creative person. If he lives in you, you should become more creative.

I can't even describe the phenomenon. Religion is where creativity goes to die. Because by its very design, creativity defies norms, stereotypes and confined spaces.
