    Adopt SMAC recipe for success

    There have been different gurus and books who have advised on various methods to attain success. There is none better than Jim Collins’s SMAC recipe for success which is not only practical but finds relevance in the modern era as well.

    A SMaC (Specific, Methodical and Consistent) recipe is a set of “durable operating practices that create a replicable and consistent success formula”. It is clear and concrete without fluff, precise in guiding an enterprise on what to do (and what not to do) while reflecting the outcomes of empirical validation and insight.

    – Stay out of food services

    Demystifying the Fear of Rejection

    In this blog post the fear of rejection which comes naturally to human beings, has been demystified. This post has been inspired from Steven Pressfield’s book The War of Art.

    This is a commonly associated fear with many human beings. This happens mainly due to the intense arousal of our limbic brain which is responsible for resistance.

    Right from the caveman times our brains are programmed for this feeling of resistance.

    Hence to break the fear we need to face fear eye to eye.

    This would help overcome the innate resistance of our limbic brain as mentioned in the below insight.
