Hey there this is Rajat here from Startup Frat welcoming you to this video today we are not going to talk about any business techniques or technology we are going to talk about personal choices that we all make in our daily lives and we don’t understand the impact and we don’t understand how much power we have to change our future, especially financial future if you’re in the
Startup frat hangout then we are always talking about finance business how to improve how to get rich right so but today I don’t want to talk about money I want to talk about business tools techniques technologies nothing like that why is that because chances are that even if you implement all the learning in the world in terms of tools techniques technologies then there is
Let me quickly get back and give you little three little questions that you need to ask yourself today and why I’m telling you these questions because on a personal level this will really help you now I learned this uh watching a lot of videos from this gentleman called Jim Rohm okay he who is supposed to be a master salesperson back in the 1940s 50s and all that and he is supposed to be one of the great fathers of the, uh you know of the
Self-improvement uh industry and self-improvement movement because he used to teach all of his salespeople and everything on how to keep up the motivation how to keep up the momentum and how to stay on course to achieve their goals okay and then that that later actually gave birth to the self-improvement industry which is what we are doing here we’re just trying to improve get to a better version of
Ourselves in this community right so he said he said three things I’m just going to read out from my notes over here he said at any point in time now this is a difficult thing to uh to listen to and believe and you know a lot of you guys may actually send me nasty comments later like I sometimes get okay but just pay attention to this okay the first
The question is who are you hanging out with okay who are you hanging out with which is how do you really spend your time on a normal day okay leave aside weekends where you obviously spend a lot of time with your kids your family and all that that is great but just look at the amount of time we have in our lives and what kind of time and who do we spend it with right so who do we spend it with we spend a lot of
Our time with a cell phone and from our cell phone come a lot of calls messages etc that have no great bearing on our financial future uh it is considered normal because in our culture and society you know and relatives’ friends etc call you know you always respond and you know you know and usually when they call you is it something urgent is it something that’s going to change life for either of you the answer is no
What are you doing on the weekend let’s do this let’s do that let’s talk about covet let’s talk about the lockdown let’s talk about something else which has no real bearing and does not help you achieve your financial goals who are you hanging out with just do some time study and see who are you hanging out with even inside the office are you really spending time at your desk doing the work that you’re being paid to do or how much time do you?
Spend with your colleagues in smoking breaks tea breaks coffee breaks water cooler okay how much time do you spend how much time do you allow your immediate bosses to waste in meetings that they have with you during which there is no real agenda except the fact that they want to push uh you know to waste your time and push more responsibility for you that you probably are not being paid there are different ways to get around that but
Just do a little analysis of who are you hanging out with okay the second question he asked was what are they doing to you what are they doing to you okay now he said it in that fashion I would not ask that to myself I would not recommend you use these very words but hey what is happening to you as a result are
Are you reaching closer to your goals is your mind clearer are you focused in the mornings do you feel tired in the evenings burnt out stressed anxious you know if you have any of these feelings if you have a feeling of not being sure of your future because of all the events that are happening then the chances are not because it’s because the co-workers because the lockdown because the government right is probably because of who you are hanging out with
Okay so what your results are in life are a direct reflection of who you spend your time with okay who you spend your time with very early on in life um I changed my habits I started reading a lot more books in my free time hanging out a little less with my friends who I love I love all of them but I read a lot more books on the weekends I watched a lot more YouTube videos by the time by the way if you like to watch YouTube I do too just don’t be cheap and get YouTube
Premium so that way you don’t have the ads interrupting you in the middle and everything right so YouTube premium you pay like 170 rupees a month and you know there are no ads and every video that you watch has an overlay which means if you’re driving and the video kind of overlays on any other app so you can do other stuff while you’re sitting on the office you can do other things while the video is playing if you’re driving if a call
Comes you know gets disconnected etc the video keeps playing okay so I started spending a lot of time with people who could teach me whether it was via YouTube or through books okay I also spent a lot of money going to events that I could not afford because I wanted to see millionaires and billionaires on-stage look at them hopefully go after the seminar and shake hands with them and then realize oh my god these guys are
Humans these guys are normal there is no problem right they don’t have four eyes, yeah, I once met a guy who had his own airplane who had come in his own aircraft right, I was like dude this guy is normal I just shook hands with him like wow this guy’s like normal yeah that was a life-changing event for me okay so who are you hanging out with what are they doing to you okay my life started changing from the time I changed who I was hanging out with okay
Majority of part I still party I still go out with friends I still love my relative’s family we still go out on vacations and do all of that good stuff but a primary part of life was the life-changing decision that I’m going to spend time with different people okay the third thing was whatever you have in life today just ask is this okay a lot of people while listening to me
Videos may say hey I don’t have a major problem in life I’m living well I have a salary I have a car I have a house I have a family life is good we spend time on the weekends hanging out with friends’ family relatives whatever it is it’s a normal middle-class life there is no problem with it if this is okay then it’s okay there is no problem, okay but if you feel there could be something more if you feel that you’re
Feeling constrained whether it’s because of your job whether it’s because of your you know certified profession which could be doctor lawyer-chartered accountant whether it’s because of your brick-and-mortar business being shut down by the government again and again and again and again for no fault of yours if you feel these constraints okay then what you want to do is you want to free up some time and you want to start

Have a very special guest addressing us for a total of five days I’ve been talking about our community member Sachin who changed the entire marketing model of his travel agency from a standard brick and mortar model to the demand generation model that we teach in the academy and because of this in spite of having the office totally shut down you know no employees working during the lockdown the moment the lockdown open he had a flurry of six-figure paying
