The 13-step business plan to build a $15k/month side hustle:

1. Ask yourself, "what topics can I help people get massive clarity on?"

My recommendation: Ask your friends/co-workers what you are an expert in.

2. Distill your value. By helping someone achieve massive clarity on X, what are they able to achieve?

3. Pick a platform. Where do the people that need your help reside?

My recommendation: LinkedIn (fast algorithm for growth + professionals looking for growth)

4. Create daily content that talks about the clarity you can provide.

5. DM every account that interacts with your content.

My recommendation: Ask them what they do + what their goals are.

6. If you can help them with their goals, ask them if they'd want to jump on a 1:1 call.

7. Run a consultation on Zoom.

Afterward, reflect on:

• What exercises worked? (ie. Personal Board Meetings)
• What were their major blockers? (ie. Not knowing how to manage >5 people)
• What resources could I create to increase the value? (Matt Mochary's resources)

These 10 rules will change your life today… (I guarantee it):

Don't Neglect Your Health

To be at your best, you need to take care of your mind, body, and soul.

Every day I:
• Do a mindfulness meditation
• Stretch
• Lift
• Eat healthily

The best investment you will ever make is your own health.

Cut Toxic People Fast

Beware of energy vampires.

They suck the life out of you and hold you back.

Create a Personal Board of Advisors:

Experiences > Things

We're all going to die.

You can't bring things to your grave.

Over the past 6 months, I traveled to:
• The Grand Canyon
• Costa Rica and went surfing
• Sedona and hiked the Red Rocks

Take a "mental vacation" every 6 weeks.

You deserve it.

Focus on The Process

Fall in love with the journey.

We all have our ups and downs.

The path to success is a marathon. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

The goal isn't just to get there.

It's to have fun along the way.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.

Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.

But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.
