All great leaders share this ONE trait.

All founders are unique.

Their routines, interests, and systems are distinct based on their individual personalities.

However, there’s one habit that’s pretty much universal across all successful founders…

They’re all voracious readers.

The average CEO of a Fortune 500 company reads 4 books PER MONTH.

Compare that to the average person, who barely manages to read a single book each year…

And it’s no wonder studies have shown that active readers are likely to make 5x more money than those who spend little or no time reading. 

But it’s not just the act of reading words on a page that's such a game-changer…

It’s the ability to download insights from a master in a fraction of the time it took them to hone their craft.

I personally devote 4 hours a day to learning, and a big part of that is reading.

Whether it’s a book or audiobook, an expert thread or article, or a website that can teach me something new.

"In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time -- none, zero."

- Charlie Munger (Vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, net worth $2.1 billion)

In today’s newsletter, I’m going to share with you 6 websites that I use to accelerate my learning and upgrade my skills.

The skills I’ve learned from these websites have made me a better founder and I’m confident they will do the same.

Seed these habits !

Humans are bound with habits ! Habits are the things which we find extremely tough to overcome. Habits are good as well as bad. Its up to us what habits we choose and make the most of it. In this blog, I'm going to write about the habits that are gonna be of simple tricks but will be worth to implement in daily life. Over a period of time, I started looking at things from various perspectives and compare people to people and habit to habit. Chronologically people tend to follow those habits of role models, successful people of their stream, books, views those are eye-openers and the lessons learned over a period of time and yes parents as well. But these habits I've developed over a period of time looking at what is best for people at large and develop it without many efforts but have a greater impact in a future tense. Don't say maybe when you want to say NO  When you say NO, you have more time to read, learn, sleep, ask questions, contact friends, life. Because

Healing After a Breakup !

Did you know that your brain codes emotional pain in the same way that it codes physical pain? When an intimate relationship ends, it hurts because it hurts. We make a bad situation worse for ourselves when we tell ourselves that we shouldn’t feel the way we feel. If you’re moving through the world with an achy heart, please keep in mind the following: Pain is to be held, not healed. Relationships do not leave us where they find us. There is no going back to the person you were before the breakup. Your work is to integrate the pain of the ending into the larger narrative of what it is to be you. Integration happens when we hold our pain—get to know it, stay on the lookout for its lessons and gifts. Pain can make us panic a bit. We say to ourselves, “I am not OK.” Notice what happens when you shift your language to this instead: “I am feeling deeply.” Time + Intention = Recovery. The adage is that time heals all wounds. I think a more apt expression is that time plus inten

Anybody can be a marketer with these simple terms.

Yes anybody can be a marketer. In my 3 years of marketing and creating ad copies for most of the campaigns for digital platforms and marketing collaterals, I've noticed the essence of how anyone can be a marketer. No, at least it doesn't require an MBA degree or communications background for sure. It just requires a clear mindset and the ability to make things extremely simpler. Creating ad copies, advertising plans, and marketing collaterals although require a lot of creativity but more than that it requires sensing what the customer wants to hear. A few keywords which can be applied in any of the collateral or an ad copy and make it more relevant to increase the outcome. When drafting ad copies and content for marketing collaterals sue keywords like Free, Instantly, Don't miss, Limited Time, Offers, Secret, Risk -free, You. Take up an ad, online, offline, digital, TV, print, radio and whatever form of advertisement, No ad is made without these words or some f
