Learning from top 0.1 of top business leaders..

Be better than before, than yesterday...


 They are advice from  Vishna.  He is author of several books

What he learned and his advice

1.  Tolerate pain.

     E.g.  Elon Musk applied at Netflix but was not invited for interview.  The best way to do this was

              to create his own company.  But the journey from there to Spacex was just like eating glass

              its painful...

2.  Know why.  Its the greater motivator (others say have assets and system but this is more permanent than systems or assets and easier to do)

            Business is not about making money.  The business of business maybe to push forward the

           frontier of humanity.  As with Navea Jain.      His vision is to extend the life of humans, not to

           get him sick

           

          Big vision gets big people, Great people come with great ideas.   You do not need more money.

3.  Stay in the vision zone

          Its not about PHP or profit

          According to Richard Branson,  its all about getting people alignedd with your vision, and once

         clear make them do this...

         He served burgers to 50 interns in his house.  To get them hooked with his vision and work towards that

4.  Bring an upside to the downside  (from Paul McKenna)      Paying more for an apartment?  You can host parties that bring in investors and customer, and save on hotel  

     Ricihard Branson got stranded in Carribean.  on the way to UK.   He thought of getting a chartered

flight and invited others to join and split the bill.  That gave him an idea of setting up Virgin Islands airline.   So  he leased an old 747 from Boeing which they  initially refused.  Later on they agreed.   Pay the lease 30 days after.  In the meantime he earned revenues from the flight...

5.  Failure is curriculum

     From Michael Beckewith

    Kensho - learning from failure


    Satori -  learnign improvement from books, podcast video

    Business is a vehicle for personal growth frm kensho and satori.

6.  From inner to outer consciousness

     From Arianne Huffington.    Due to her daily grind, she pushed her health to the limit and fell and injured herself.  We cant be of service to others if we are broken inside

    You cant make other people happy if you are not happy.  You cant give something you do not have

7.  Optimise consciousness

    This is to rid your body of nega.  The best practice, not meditation (just like the monks is  to practice forgiveness. Forgive yourself, forgive those who wronged you.  And it will make yourself lighter and more resilient and live longer

8.  Multitasking  -  Peter Diamendis

     Multi tasking or focus.  Most people can only handle one task.    Some serial entrepreneurs are com

     fortable with multi task

9.  Practice blissipline

     It is related to a video about a CEO who noticed his top performing system analyst deteriorating.  May pinagdadaanan.  Iniwan ng GF, could not pay bills and was therefore unhappy.  A new CEO came in and set up a mnagement training program with 2x the salary.  Debts taken care of....But happiness isa key issue.    MDs who are happy did 19% better;  sales people did 50% better.

     Blissipline is about making oneself and others happy

     Discipline of being happy in your job
