What if this , not that - My love letter to all Dreamer's and Believer's

If you’re doing your best work.
 If you touched one person.
If it makes a difference to a handful.
 If you’re building a legacy, not just an empire.


 If your values are front and centre.
 If you’re launching ideas from the heart.
 If you understand why you’re doing this.
If it doesn’t have to matter to everyone.


If you care.
If you can see the world as it isn’t.
If passion is your master.
If possibility feeds your soul.
If meaning is your currency.


 If you embrace failure alongside success.
If permission doesn’t get in your way.
 If understanding the problem to be solved matters.
 If people are your inspiration.
If you could change one thing.
If you know the questions to ask and aren’t afraid of the answers.
If you could ask for anything today, would ‘this’ be it?

If not this, then what?
If not today, then when?

You matter, no matter what
You matter, no matter who so ever says whatever
You matter, cause you try,
You matter, cause you take risks,
You matter, cause you create change,
Change that others only get scared to talk about

Setting Priorities in Life - How it changed my Life miraculously ,Why I changed my Priorities and why you should too

Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.” 
― Dallin H. Oaks

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.” 
― Bruce Lee

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.”

– John C Maxwell, best-selling author, speaker, & consultant on Leadership

Recently I attended Mr Sushil Prasade session on Setting Priorities in Life in Mumbai.It was an eye opener session for me and it indeed changed my life and I could really learn my Priorities.

What are your priorities right now ?

How to set priorities - 

Do fewer $10/hr tasks and more $100/hr tasks

I learned this one from my mentors. One of them really focusses on this, He’s always pushing his staff, and especially managers to, “focus on the $100/hr tasks and spend less time on the $10/hr tasks.”

This means avoiding being bogged down by too many admin tasks, filing things, building your own framework in excel when an app could do it out of the box, or avoiding delegating work when you should. And those $100/hr tasks are those high-skill tasks that really add value, whether that be investing in relationships with clients, exploring new business opportunities, or spending more time on a consultation’s complex problems.

My mentor has grown a business to millions in revenue by offloading those $10/hr tasks to a central office and letting his field staff focus on the high value services they provide clients.  The central office experiences cost efficiencies by consolidating the work and his field staff are happy to not have to deal with those tasks.

How it applies to managers: Bring this mindset to any kind of work you do.  Challenge yourself to consider which parts of your work (and your team) are $100/hr tasks, and which are lower value and should be delegated or eliminated.  

A secret of Silicon Valley is how much work is actually done offshore and outsourced. It turns out, people can solve some problems (like identifying whether a photo is inappropriate) both better and cheaper than engineers writing and perfecting code to do it. What $10/hr work can you offload from yourself or your team?

Life is as simple as these three questions: What do I want? Why do I want it? And, how will I achieve it?” 
― Shannon L. Alder

The weird thing is that the more efficient, on task, on goal you are with your time, the more energy you have. Working with no traction, or for that matter simply wasting a day, does not relax you, it drains you.//
Strange as it may seem, when you work a daily plan in pursuit of your written goals that flow from your mission statement born of your vision for living your dreams, you are energized after a tough long day.” 
― Dave Ramsey, EntreLeadership: 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches

Book to Read In December - Planning and Preparing for the New Year 2016 - Book “6 Months to 6 Figures By Peter Voogd

“6 Months to 6 Figures”

Lessons I learned  from this book -

The 4 W’s to Lifestyle Satisfaction:

What do you do? —What’s the possibility and upside? Is the opportunity endless? Is it something you enjoy doing? Does it really inspire and help people? Are you in 100% control of your schedule, income, and advancement? Most people say they love what they do, but deep down, if they could do anything they wanted, they would do something else. Please don't settle. If you REALLY love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I am glad I found what I love and everyday it makes me feel happy. I write,I read, I empower, I travel and I feel very content at the end of the day. What are you doing lately ?


Who do you do it with? —Who is leading you? Search for likeminded people in your life, it is exhausting to be a lion amongst sheeps. If you are a Lion find your pride, don't settle for sheeps. You will never be happy or content. Find the ones who inspire you. Think !!! Are your relations inspiring, and do they challenge you? The times I’ve thrived the most were because of the mentors and leaders guiding me. They lived the lifestyle I wanted, they had the amazing relationships I wanted, and they practiced what they preached. Do you love and appreciate those you associate with daily? The most important lesson that I learned in my life after years of people pleasing is this that Most people hate what they do, hate their boss, and hate their co-workers. Life is too short to have toxic people around you.

When do you do it, and when you don’t? —Do you have flexibility? When I started my company, I had no idea how I will continue it. I wanted to choose the best suitable career path for myself where I felt happy and I don't have to compromise my personal life as well.Can you design your business to fit around your lifestyle. Ultimately, you are in control of your own future and can take it as big and as far as you want to grow. You need the real passion to pull your potential out. Are you up before your alarm because you’re so excited to take on your day or do you sleep in dreading getting up? Gary Vaynerchuk  if you hate what you do, even a small percentage, it’s time for a change.

Where you do work? —Can you work from home or while you’re traveling? I am blessed and thankful to god that I was already into media and mass communication. So Public Speaking was not that difficult option for me to choose. But according to research Public Speaking is higher then  phobia of death. Many people cannot handle it. It suited me and my lifestyle, I choose my passion what about you ? Can you move if you’re tired of where you are living? Do you have an inspiring environment that sparks your creativity and genius? This is why becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is difficult for many of us. But I have always been a firm believer of WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY.I am confidently guessing you have goals to increase your income. Maybe you're sick of making the same income or you can’t stand the feeling of financially struggling. 


What is the difference between those who are thriving and those who aren’t?

Well, we all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, so they must be doing something different with their time, right? They must have a better perspective about money and how it’s earned. If you are not satisfied with your income, let me give you some straight- forward tactical tips that can be used right away. 

Stop doing what you’re doing:

The first thing you must do if you are dissatisfied is stop doing what you’ve been doing, because that’s what has created your current reality. We’ve all heard the famous quote by Albert Einstein, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”What’s great about life and opportunity is the chance to completely change the story and direction overnight. Regardless of your past decisions, you’re always one decision away from making the right one. 

Don’t let money define you: Your self-worth has nothing to do with your finances. Whether you have a negative bank account or $10 million, your confidence should never waiver. If anything, your confidence should increase when you are stressed, and this stress should motivate you to NEVER feel that way again.

 Being wealthy is a state of mind, but so is being broke. Who you are defines you, not what you possess.

Start prioritizing your profits: When you set up your weekly schedule, make sure you start with income producing activities.


Twenty percent of your activities account for 80% of your income. Figure out what those critical-inch activities are, and do more of them. Really think about the top two or three things you need to do to create more income. Now put those in your schedule consistently so you assure you are creating income. Constantly ask yourself if what you’re doing is profitable, and focus on doing what you should versus what you feel.

Also, remember: impact drives income. Start placing a higher value on your time: Time is more valuable than money. You can always get more money, but you can never get more time. Is it possible to become twice as valuable, and make twice as much money in the same amount of  time? Of course it is. There is nothing more valuable than time invested wisely. We all have the same 24 hours. It’s what you do with them that determines everything.


Start Planning for your new year in a progressive and constructive way, You will end up being more happy and proud of your achievements.

As a student i was actively involved in all cultural activities and fest. I was dance director in my school and was also awarded excellency award .

·        What were the biggest adjustments you had to make regarding your relationship, family and schedule during deployment?

I haven't yet actually stayed away from my husband since our marriage but i do dread the unknown feeling. Though there have been short stints of separation when he is out on exercises. during these phases d adjustment that i end up making is packing up my house when moving to my in-laws/parents place and resetting up d same when moving back..Toughest part is when he is going to board that train and me knowing that we would be meeting only after couple of months. 

What is the hardest part about being an army wife

Yet to see one. May be separation 

 From whom do you get support while he’s gone?

 Family and friends 

What have you learned about yourself and your relationship throughout the process of deployment? Do you think your relationship became stronger because of it?

Yes definitely we grow closer with every stint of separation and value each other even  more. But that doesn't imply that i would want to be separated with him so as to grow closer..i would prefer doing it while staying with him..

What advice would you give other military spouses in your position?

I would just say enjoy every moment and be proud of what you are part of.

Share how can anyone being an army wife lookout for prospering career options, what are the best career options available ?

First of all priorities  must be clear. If someone is career oriented and is ready to stay away from their husbands then they have lots of options but if your priority is to stay with your husband and you wanna work then I feel teaching is the best option or they can work in some bank because school and banks are bound to be present every where or if someone is creative so they can start up their own business..Since 3-4 years i have left everything as i was very busy with my baby but  looking  forward to continue taking dance programs and travel.. Side by side I am planing to take dance classes or work as a teacher..

How I made Rs. 3,90,000 in just 30 minutes

My Journey as the Suitcase Entrepreneur and How I earned Rs. 3,90,000 / - in just 30 min

"FORTUNE REWARDS THOSE WHO ARE BRAVE - SO STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND GET TO WORK. YOUR DREAMS ARE WAITING FOR THEIR DESTINY"

Dr. Priyanka Krishnan

My parents thought I'm crazy, I told them my desire of working like a nomad. I wanted to work for myself and this wasn't a suitable option for a married woman,whose husband is in the Indian Army. Usually it was expected for me to become a school teacher. And technically I should have been. But I wasn't satisfied. 

I started one coaching program and I was investing in myself. I was also reading one Incredible  book just to motivate me during these days when I felt extremely low, and It's incredible how that Coaching Program and this book changed my life. I not only started my career. I came to know about what I'm actually passionate about. I also earned 3,90,000/- in just 30 min. Which for my mother was a 2 years income of a school teacher.

But there's no thing such as FREE LUNCH.  Everything comes with a commitment, with no looking back attitude. One has to pay the price for investing in them selves. How much are you willing to invest in building your dreams. How much you think you are worth of. How much do you believe in yourself.
