The Journey of a Millionaire!!

  Have you noticed, some teams which look excellent on paper, doesn't shine at all whereas some teams which looks ordinary outshines and create extraordinary results? This is not only applicable to sports team but to any team. What could be the reason for this? Well, Patrick Lencioni, in his book "5 dysfunctions of a team" talks about the reasons of dysfunctions and how to overcome it. Each dysfunction has a direct impact on a teams performance and hampers overall productivity. Good news is that, as a manager or a leader, we can overcome all these dysfunctions. 5 dysfunctions are - 1. Lack of trust 2. Fear of conflict 3. Lack of commitment 4. Avoidance of accountability 5. Inattention to results. Teams that lack trust - 1. Focus only on weakness of each other 2. Don't ask for help or a piece of advice 3. Hate meetings and avoid spending time together Teams that fear conflict - 1. Hesitate to voice opinions and concerns 2. Engage in backchannel communication and politi...

If you are driving a car, fell asleep and when you woke up, you see you are going to hit the wall, what will be your immediate action to avoid hitting the wall? There was one period in my life, where my debts were piling up and were constantly worried about debt and how I was going to repay it? Yes, I slept for a few years in my life and when I woke up, I realized in a few meters, I'm going to hit the wall. Realized, in order to avoid hitting the wall, you need to change the focus. Instead of seeing the wall, if you see the direction where you want to go, your car automatically changes direction. (Experienced drivers agree to this) That was an aha moment, I did this, instead of focussing on debts, started creating a new savings plan. I started a new SIP with Rs 1000, increased the amount every few months and when I constantly started to focus on savings, my debt started to come down. This may sound a simple philosophy but a powerful one. What you focus on will grow. Focus on saving...

Dear young VJ, I know you wouldn't follow any of the advice as you are always stubborn and do whatever you have always wish to do - This world is trying to wrongly program you - Get good marks, get a good job, make more money, become successful and then be happy. It's actually true in reverse -  Be happy, feel yourself successful, you will make more money, get a good career that you truly love, marks don't matter. You will face lot of fear when you are trying something new, you will face millions of problems only in your thoughts, actually only very few will become your reality. One thing that I would suggest is feel the fear and do it anyway.  You will get hurt many times by some people in your life, its natural and part of the learning process. Those tough situations will mold you to become a person that you are. One thing that you can do is forget those instances, forgive those people, not for their sake but for your sake. Forgiveness is like air, you need it to s...

Quick Read - 3 Mins  We wake up every day same time, our same fingers snooze the alarm, we wake up with same feeling and emotions, get ready to work, eat some food (mostly same ones), go to work, same kind of traffic, meet the same people, go to lunch with some people, do the same work and leave home with energy exhausted. Now, watch our Netflix shows or TV shows, eat dinner and sleep. In between the whole day, we would check Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram feed just 100 times. Repeat the same pattern again every day.  Are we really living or sleepwalking through life? Truth is most of us are not living our lives, our unconscious mind takes control as we do the same things every day repeatedly. We live the same life every day - Same thoughts, same feelings, same emotions. However, we secretly expect our life to change. Earl Nightingale says - We become what we think about most of the time . It's very true, are we really thinking anything? An averag...

I recently read a book called Happy for No Reason book by Marci Shimoff. One of the must-read book on happiness.   This post is my interpretation and understanding of the concepts.   One of the most difficult question to ask any person is - What is Happiness? Everyone can answer this but no two answers will match as everyone's view of happiness is different.   According to the author's research, in terms of happiness, people fall in one of the categories - Category 1 - Unhappy People in this category, irrespective of how good their life is, they would be depressed. You would have noticed many people in this category. Example - They would have got a new job which they longed for but they would be depressed as they didn't get the pay as expected. These people spend their days in depression and never even realize that they are not happy. Category 2 - Happy for Bad Reasons Some of us associate happiness with destructive habits like Smoking, ex...

Do you know how many people have lost their dreams due to this four letter word, FEAR ?  There are many stories where we hear about a person, who chased a dream, acted on a dream, faced challenges and achieved the dream finally. This is the standard template for most of the movies too.  There are many other unheard stories too - A person had a dream, he/she was planning to make it happen but he also had fear. He tried to overcome fear however the fear eventually took over and they gave up on the dreams.   This world only talks about success stories, we have so many lessons from the failure stories too. Out of fear, many had given up on the dreams, many wouldn't have acted on their dreams and many just believed, they don't have a special skill to do. Just imagine, if we had courage in those moments, wouldn't our life be different?  I'm not talking like, Oh yeah, the fear has stopped us in starting billion dollar enterprise or achieving big things in li...
