1 simple hack to differentiate yourself and stand out


'Why are you doing this?

For fun, laughter, peace and joy.'

Growing up, we used to answer with, 'for fun, laughter, peace and joy' if we didn't have any particular reason for doing something.

Recently, when I meditate and journal about why I want to:

  • have a successful career
  • hit my revenue and income goals
  • build financial resilience for our future like our retirement and our kids' college fund,

or pretty much any goal I'm working towards, it ultimately leads back to the same reason:

For fun, laughter, peace and joy.

  • to have fun and laughter with loved ones fill my days
  • to have peace of mind that everything will be taken care of
  • to feel joy in my heart and all the good vibes - gratitude, fulfilment, well-being

So yes, ultimately, I do what I do for fun, laughter, peace, and joy.

There's so much wisdom in the simple basics.

Returning to these simple basics and doing them well is becoming a central theme in my life lately.

No need to overcomplicate.

No need to waver and feel overwhelmed.

Just keep your eye on the simple basics.

And focus on doing these few simple basics well.

Reader, why do you do what you do?

Why do you want what you want in your business or career?

In your finances?

In your health?

Or anything important in your life?

Is it for fun, laughter, peace and joy too?

Or something else?

I'm a big fan of journaling as a tool to access your subconscious thoughts.

So I'd recommend writing these down and allowing your thoughts and feelings about them to come through.

Keep it to the simple basics - then focus on doing them better than everyone else.

This is how you'll stand out and differentiate yourself among the sea of everyone else doing too much, too soon.

Have a great week ahead.

Reader, I had a very big, pleasant surprise this week. A heavyweight from LinkedIn, Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi DM-ed me to come on my podcast! I reached out to her last year when I relaunched my podcast inviting her to be a guest. She accepted at first, then postponed it because it wasn’t a good time for her. I thought she probably changed her mind after realizing what a nobody I am. This is the kind of negative self-talk that goes on in my mind - it's a daily practice to neutralize it's impact on...

Reader, Most people default to living life dictated by their irrational fears: not starting their dream business because of their fear of failure not pursuing their passion because they're unsure it'll make the money they want not going for/staying in the relationship because they don't know what will happen But you'll never fully know until you try. So how do you know when to heed the advice of fear that protects you from harm and what's just in your head? In this week's podcast, I share my...
