Million Dollar Habits..


Just like the laws of physics is applicable to all moving bodies, so is it applicable to the human mind. Now you would have heard me define the new laws of momentum = skill X speed of using the skill, just like that the law of inertia is very well applicable to the human mind.
          The laws of inertia states that any body will continue in its state of rest or motion unless acted by external force. Human minds also have some inertia in overcoming changes or addiction. Over these years the experts call it by the name HABIT. Our habit is what we develop through the years and later that develops us.
          Its the same habit that wakes up in the morning, prepares us for school, college or work and then help us retire to bed. Its the same habit that builds our relationship, acquaintance, work, business and politics. If we change our habit we can change the way we live, work, spend time with our loved ones and prosper.  Just like the inertia acting on a body, our minds has a natural tendency to oppose the changes.
          Now the law states that you can alter the state of rest or motion by an external force, similarly what is the external force that is capable of changing our habits – it’s the power of inspiration, or motivation. Only motivated class can work longer, harder and smarter and prosper. People who do lack motivation; work for the sake of working. These people are like parasites to any organisation hindering its growth.
          Now why should we change our habits? And why is it really necessary to get the daily dosage of motivation? We all know that its our thoughts that become words, words become action, action becomes habit and habit become our character. Now if we need to change our character, we need to start changing our thoughts. Most necessarily we need to inculcate in us the MILLION DOLLAR HABITS if ever we need to live a life above mediocrity. Now let me explain this – Making a living today is not tough, but living above the average is tough. Our govt: over these years has helped ordinary people make their living, through many schemes, plans and reservation systems. So having a middle class life is not that tough for people who are educated and hardworking. But to live a life od magnificence is not that easy.
          We all know out of every 100 of us only 1 will become rich. Now why does this happen this way when we are all working hard to the same magnitude? Its because of the habits the rich has inculcated in him that makes him win every adversity he faces. Now what are the million dollar habits? And how can we put them into practice?
  • Define your goals clearly.
  • You can change by changing the way you think.
  • Life gets better as you get better.
  • You are responsible in uplifting your society.
  • Every action of yours should be preceded by an equivalent plan.
  • Find out how to utilize your non-productive time.
  • Be committed to the cause that made you what you are today.
  • Consistently persist and have faith.
Nothing great is ever achieved by consistently persisting. Every leader, winner was powered by the true spirit of inspiration and motivation. It’s the motivation that gave them the courage to persist when people with them perished, and eventually made them a winner.
  See none of us decide to be poor, none wants to be a failure, but believe that it’s the habits that we develop over the years that make us fail the battle everyday. Learn to win by changing the habit, then it will be a truly different world. Remember when you contribute to prosperity you will prosper in turn.
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you will find yourself in a new, great wonderful world. Dormant forces faculties and talent become alive and you discover yourselves to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be…

Change.. The ability to redirect your energy…

I hope that by the communications we have had so far, you would have started outlining your goals and defined a time frame to achieve them. If you haven’t, then start right away! Remember, " If you start early you become successful early". We all should be developing the 'DO IT NOW !!!' attitude, I can assure you the results are incredible! Change, is a measure of our ability to take different paths leading to the same goal. Change is an inevitable part of success. I believe, when we start up something new, we are guided by a magical "beginners luck" but beware as it doesn’t last forever! At a later phase we won’t get the results we wanted. We may also feel like we have emptied out all our resources. This is where ‘CHANGE’ comes into play. "The only thing that doesn’t change in this universe is the word change itself". Most people quit at this point. They don’t put in the efforts to do the R&D. If we strongly have a goal in our mind, when all ...

Just Shut Up and Listen... (JSUpL)

If you are confident, get up and speak, if you don’t know the answer Just Shut Up and Listen (JSUpL). These words are not unfamiliar, but are truly unpracticed. Its almost natural for us to react to situations around but most often we forget to whether we are the right person to advice people. Whatever is your age, experience, qualification – you need to develop the habit of listening to topics that you are not aware of. You need to respect the person who is helping you learn new practices and principles. Most often our ego gets in the way and protects us to learn things from people who are not qualified, inexperienced, under aged but with knowledge. This is so true, and just like it applies to me, it applies to you as well. Let think of this situation, you are 8+ years experienced in your organization, now a fresher comes in and talks about things that are knowledgeable and intellectually correct – but your ego gets in the way, and your years of experience logically defends the freshe...

Momentum Revisited...More of speed than skill…

I could understand from the feedback received on the previous newsletter that some of you had difficulty in assimilating the new definition of momentum that I had put forth. So I have decided to revisit the topic and explain a bit further. In the previous newsletter I’d defined business momentum as the product of skill and speed. Most often we see in business, that leaders tend to increase their speed infinitely so as to compensate for their lack of skill, to keep pace with the market. This phenomenon can be clearly seen in the billion dollar retail industry. Almost all major players focus primarily on improving their customer network prior to improving the quality of products. This is because of the immense latent power in networking. It would be foolish for a retail distributor to limit his operations to a single centre and concentrate on improving his products rather than on improving the quality of operation. This phenomenon can be seen all around us, but we may not have given it s...
