Finally I'm back after my Tour

Hey Champion how are you?

I’m sorry I couldn’t find time to write my previous newsletter that had to be published on Monday since I was traveling the whole week and not feeling well.

So, in these two weeks, a lot of things happened in my life: a lot of lessons were learned, and I had new experiences, highlights, and a lot more…

In my last email, we stopped in Delhi right, where I had just published while I was traveling in the metro to Kedarnath.

It was a dream for me for quite a long time to visit Kedarnath, not for the temple, but to experience nature and enjoy the beauty of the mountains.

Finally, I traveled to Kedarnath and Badrinath; while we were returning, people said that it was a dream for a lot of people to visit these temples once in a lifetime when they opened on the first day. And we are so lucky that we went both on the opening day.

Highlights of this week

To be honest, a lot of new things happened during these two weeks.

• Growing up in a village, I knew it was a big thing to fly on a plane, although I’m an entrepreneur with multiple businesses that give me good revenue. Still, I’m from a village, and for me, it’s a big thing. Finally, I flew on a plane.

• Visited Kedarnath and Badrinath temples ( Travelled 3000+ km )

• From a stranger who I met online a year ago to a friend who then became a co-founder of my marketing agency. Finally, I met him in person.

• I attended a webinar that changed my entire thinking about building and scaling a business.

• We have a new Client this week.

• Taken a New Franchise.

Learnings of the Week

• I’ve learned the importance of health on this trip; even though you have money and the resources, if your health is not good, then you can’t enjoy and explore. The same goes for life; even though you have a lot of money and all the resources, if you don't have good health, then that would be useless. I’ve learned a great lesson that health is more important than anything in your life.

• Yesterday, that was Sunday; I attended a webinar on how to build systems and run a good business, and to be honest, I’m saying that it was eye-opening for me why because there are a lot of things that I know I have to change, but there are a small fear and confusion that lead me to stop, it gave me a lot of clarity and courage to move forward.

• Things take more time than we expected. One of my uncles and I have taken a franchise, and we thought it would take us ten days to finish everything; in the middle, there were a lot of issues and problems, and we needed to change a lot of things, but finally, it got accepted yesterday.

• I should learn how to say NO to things; I’m kind of a person who is really curious and excited to do things. I always wanted to keep myself busy with stuff; otherwise, I’d overthink a lot about the things that never happened in my life. I’ve said YES to many things, and now I’m paying the price, like working 13, 14 hours every single day. I was writing this newsletter on Sunday, and over the past three days, I’ve slept like 13 hours which means like 4 hours a day. so remember, when you are saying Yes, you need to think about the price you pay later.

Book Summary

This week, I didn’t have a chance to read the whole book, but I started reading “ The Dairy of a CEO “ by Steven Bartlett. This can be one of the eye-opening books that anyone who runs a business can read. It is more than a business book; it is a guide that talks about the 33 laws of business and life.

The Book is divided into four pillars, which are

• The self (This pillar is about you. Your self-awareness, self-control, self-care, self-conduct, self-esteem, and self-story. The self is the only thing we have direct control over; to master it, which is no easy task, is to master your entire world.)

• The story (This pillar is about storytelling and how to harness the laws of storytelling to persuade the humans that stand in your way to follow you, to buy from you, to believe you, to trust you, to click, to act, to hear you and to understand you.)

• The philosophy (This pillar is about the personal and professional philosophies that great people believe and live by and how those philosophies result in behavior that leads to greatness. Your philosophy is the set of beliefs, values, or principles that guide your behavior – they are the fundamental beliefs that underpin your actions.)

• The Team (This pillar is about how to assemble and get the best out of your group of people. Assembling any group of people is not enough; for your group of people to become a truly great team, you need the right people bound together by the right culture. When you have great people bound by a great culture, the whole team becomes greater than the sum of its parts. When 1 + 1 = 3, great things happen.)

Will share my in-depth learnings later when I dig deep into this book later this week.

Person of the Week

The Person of the Week is Sohan Rai, popularly known as Zikiguy by his Instagram handle. He was one of the coolest content creators that I’ve seen recently.

He is a real Engineer who builds products for real-world problems.

I would really love to have a podcast with him and ask some crazy questions that I have. Let’s see what happens.

I was wondering how he was able to get these crazy ideas, make the products out of them, and serve a lot of people.
