Of all the gurus I've come across, time came second to none or maybe the one.

For the first time I refused to guide someone asking for mentorship. The person had come 2x asking for help, I helped as usually do & gave solutions. Now the person comes again without actually trying anything.

You can't help people who don't help themselves.

A calm aim, fast reflexes & high game-sense always wins.

This wasn't about games.

Building products seems so small in front of sales calls. Those are so difficult!

Data is a drug

~ Rark

I'm done with reverse engineering products. Reverse Engineering GTM & Growth is my new obsession & trust me, you need a whole new range of skills for this. Anyone who's doing this right now?

Product is an exciting domain because you're doing the same things daily, following the same processes, but dealing with so much ambiguity and unknowns and a different problem each day.

~ Rahul K.

Work with people who nail it.
​Be the one who puts the nail in the coffin.

I see everyone training skeletal & cardiovascular muscles till failure. Nobody trains the CNS & Mental muscles till congnitive fatigue.

That's the fastest hack to grow!

Look around you,
Is there anyone who can do your job better than you?

If you cannot see or think of any one person.

You must be having an uncomfortable level of confidence in yourself. Never compromise on it.

Most people will never experience it.

If not, build it!

Your college's fee is not your cost. It's a subset. You've a huge opportunity cost here! Calculate it.

This even becomes more evident in PG degrees like MBA, MTech, MD, MA, MS, MSc, MDes etc.

~ Rark

They said, never copy someone else, live your own life.

But, how will I learn what they learnt as a function of their experiences then?

Copying gets me to the same experiences yet the learning is tailored to me.

So copy, as much as you can. You're born different.

~ Rark

It took me 8 years to understand this.

The smartest person never ever wins.
The smart person who makes people around him smarter always wins!

~ Rark

You cannot plan of things that you do not know anything of. Better, go with the flow and build the intuition muscle.

~ Rahul K.

I see this a lot, people who're comfortable with public speaking naturally feel they're good at pitching.

It doesn't work that way.

Comfort at public speaking definitely adds another tool in your toolset, but pitching is just communication with clarity.

And it's hard.

A thread...

The final decision stays yours.

If the answer depends on facts it does not have, it asks permission, commissions specialist work agents, verifies the sources, calculations and contradictions, then resumes the same conversation with one final judgment.

You only interact with 1 single point - The Board.

A second user’s data remained completely isolated throughout.
