    View all responses

    One small improvement each one of us can make in our lives is to embrace an infinite mindset. Adoption of an infinite mindset is the key to fulfillment in the infinite game of life.

    In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we frequently end up comparing and competing with individuals with markedly different mindsets and goals.

    The key to embracing an infinite mindset is to unleash our own unique potential and being a better version everyday without paying heed to competition.

    Since the game of life is infinite and as players we need to keep playing, this abundance mentality is the single most important factor that can lead to a healthy and fulfilling life.

    Why is it worth adopting an INFINITE MINDSET?

    Simon Sinek has been one person who has had a very positive impact in my life. His work around leadership, constant teachings around the benefits of trust and optimism has left a profound impact in my life. Taking a cue from this I encourage one and all to be inspired by an optimist like Simon.

    Optimism has a power of healing and relieving anxiety and stress in our lives. At the same time learning to be a good leader at home as well as business makes you a complete and fulfilled individual.

    Finally letting go of competition and leading life at your own pace to unleash your own unique potential is an inspiration you can draw from the Infinite Game.

    Summarized below are some of his great work that is sure to ignite the fire in you and help you talk a step towards fulfillment.

    1. The Golden Circle (WHY) is something that fascinated me and made me listen to his TED TALK several number of times – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg3lIK8lro
    2. His best selling books namely: Leaders Eat Last, Start with Why, Together is Better, The Infinite Game are motivational to the core.
    3. Finally his recent work on preaching Optimism to one and all is very commendable.

    What public figure do you disagree with the most?
    View all responses

    There are acclaimed public figures who are geniuses with “yes men” around. I hate genius leaders with thousand helpers for the reasons mentioned below.

    Organizations led by a GENIUS leader with THOUSAND FOLLOWERS, decide on the “WHAT” questions without figuring out the SUCCESSION plan i.e. the “WHO” related questions.

    On the other hand, great organizations led by LEVEL 5 leaders, first get the RIGHT PEOPLE on the BUS before deciding on the answers to the STRATEGY related questions. Thus these organizations answer the “WHO” related questions before taking the “WHAT” related decisions.

    The SECRET SAUCE to LEVEL 5 LEADERSHIP

    Hence strive to a Level 5 leader not a genius leader with thousand helpers.

  • Commonalities between SALESPERSON and ARTIST

    Commonalities between SALESPERSON and ARTIST

    What was the last live performance you saw?
    View all responses

    As a salesperson I always look forward to witnessing live performance of my favorite artists. There are quite a few commonalities between a salesperson and an artist which is really fascinating.

    To me the most apt definition of an artist is as follows:

    “An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.”

    This is why live performance by my favorite artists always keeps me on the edge.

    Have you wondered why MOST ARTISTS are UNREASONABLE?
  • Involve with the RIGHT COMMUNITY

    Involve with the RIGHT COMMUNITY

    Daily writing prompt
    What do you do to be involved in the community?
    View all responses

    When you know that you are part of the right community, doing necessary things just sink in. To involve with the right community it is very important to know the correct definition of COMMUNITY.

    As Simon Sinek says:

    “A COMMUNITY is a GROUP of PEOPLE who AGREE to GROW together.”

    Just how like minded people form part of a growing community, the same holds good with a trustworthy team.

    Knowing this definition makes it easier for us to understand the importance of having people in a TEAM who BELIEVE in what a LEADER believes and more importantly the power of SOCIAL BONDS.

    The following insight explains the growth of open source communities.

    What are your favorite brands and why?
    View all responses

    There are several brands I like but nothing more than APPLE. I have always wondered on what makes Apple so unique. Read this blog post to know more.

    There are TWO BIG TRUTHS about Apple as a brand as highlighted by Seth Godin in All Marketers are Liars.

    1. Invent stuff worth talking about.
    2. Tell stories about what you’ve invented. Hence Make up great stories. That’s the new motto.

    In addition:

    “The organizations that succeed realize that offering a remarkable product with a great story is more important and more profitable than doing what everyone else is doing just a bit better.”

    Moreover the meteoric success of Apple is the INFINITE MINDSET that goes into producing customer centric products.

    Like Apple other iconic companies have all of these things in common:

    How do you EXPLAIN the phenomenal LONG TERM SUCCESS of companies like APPLE , SOUTHWEST?They play the INFINITE GAME to perfection..
