I got a Dating Advice from a Founder !!

Hello,

I’m feeling super tired, but anyway, I am writing this newsletter at 1 AM.

Happy Monday. You are beautiful, energetic, and motivated. I hope this week will bring you joy and get what you deserve; this was the wish that I put forth as a new resolution. I didn’t set any goals; I just said that I need not do anything new; if I just continue doing the things that I am doing right now, it would be enough, but I need to be consistent and get what I deserve and I hope you get what you deserve.

This week was fun. I learned a lot by talking to people, reading books, and from my personal experiences.

I met a founder this week who has been in the industry for five years; we talked about a lot of things about business, products, relationships, markets, etc.…

He suggested I should meet more girls and start dating them; I said I was not comfortable talking with them.

I told an incident where a few of my friends and I sat at 3 am one day and talked about all the relationships and their love stories, and they suggested to me, Tarak, we are telling you from my personal experience at this age, Love is just a distraction, and you waste a lot of time, first go and Earn money, and even if you want to marry any girl without thinking about the religion, color, you should have the money first.

If you have money, your Dad won’t talk about anything, and even your partner's parents won't talk about anything once you are earning a good amount of money.

And I was like, Hmm, Okay…

To be honest, in terms of relationships, I live a fantasy where I was always dreaming about Sita ( I don’t know how many times I watched Sita Ramam Movie ), but when I see them in the real world, it is really, really difficult to find the people like them, and it was like a fantasy for me and when they said their personal stories.

It hit me hard because I could see it from my friends. It's good to have a girlfriend or boyfriend if it is a good intention. Otherwise, you are wasting your productive time.

You can get more money by improving your skills or doing another job, but you can’t get more time. I used to feel regret about doing nothing during the time of Corona; I used to play PUBG all day long for 7 - 10 hours. If I utilize that time, then I will be on another level till now.

Thankfully, I realized this earlier, so now I am working on myself.

So, coming back to the meetup with the founder, When I was talking about the DeleMate that I was working on, he was impressed with the idea and said If I have the money, then I will invest in it.

This was not the first time I had heard this from a few people saying that they would love to invest in the idea that I am working on, and one of my team members said he would introduce me to some investors in Bangalore, so I am going to Bangalore this month, let’s see what happens, I’m kind of excited.

The app is ready to upload to the App Store and Play Store. We have tested the app, and everything seems to be working well; let’s see what happens; this might be the next million-dollar company, or it might fail. Who knows, but I am going to learn a lot from this journey.

The book that I was reading

I started reading the Millionaire Fastline book, and It was a really good man; one of the major things about being wealthy is the mindset of the person; you can’t be rich with a poor mindset; you don’t need to have the fancy education, or you don’t need to know a lot of things.

In this book, he clearly explains the mindset of the rich and the mindset of the poor; one thinks of the value, and another thinks of the cost. One thinks of the risks, and another thinks of the mutual funds.

I just started three days back. Let me dig deep into this book so that I can explain more, but if you are interested in reading, I have a PDF version of this book; if you want, I can send that over email ( email why you want to read this book to this - [email protected] )

One of the things that I noticed in myself is that I showed a lot of interest and curiosity when meeting a person for the first time, but gradually, it went down, and this was not the first time.

When I met him online first, I was really inspired to talk and really interested, but when the time goes I didn’t get that inspiration while talking, and to be honest, I was not that interested in talking; the same happened with a few people as well.

As time goes by, the priority goes down.

Did that happen to you?

Just ASK

If you want to do something, honestly, there are a lot of people here to help you. It only takes one message to ask and get help.

A lot of people helped me in terms of clarity, finance, work, skills, network, relationships, and a lot more.

There is an old saying that even your mother won’t feed you with food until you ask. How can a person know what you want until you say it?

If you want Clarity, ASK.

If you want the job, ASK.

If you want money, ASK.

But be honest to yourself; that is the biggest favor that you can do for yourself because if you are honest with yourself, in life, there are some points when you don't have clarity about what to do and how to do it, but if you keep honest with yourself, then you will find a way.

Don’t play safe.

You might say, Tarak, I was the only person that I needed to earn money, and my parents trusted me to take care of them.

I completely agree with you.

Your 20s is the age to explore and try different things; it is not the time to settle in an ordinary job and do it for the next 40 years; it is time to experience and figure out what you are truly passionate about because you don’t have the hard responsibilities until you are 25 or 26.

You might say, how do I feed my family? I want to be really honest with you, don’t get me wrong here: if they can pay your college fees and expenses, I’m pretty sure that they can take care of themselves without needing you until they have the energy.

Imagine getting a job, buying a car + house, and living your life to pay the EMIs until the next 40 years. And even you can’t exit and start something that you are really passionate about because you gotta pay your EMIs and expenses, and these won’t let you do it.

I hope this got you thinking about your life because the majority of our life spans when you have some thinking and energy in your body from 20 to 60 years, i.e., 40 years. Just imagine it's 40 years, and it is almost 70% of your living life; it’s important to work on yourself and do the things that you really love.

Take Risks because the great rewards come from the great risks.

Btw, now the time is 2:20 a.m. It is good it only took 1.2 hours.
