I believe these four things define our thoughts, and our thoughts define our actions, our actions define if we achieve our goals and this defines the course of our lives.In the Influence section, I talked about how you can influence others without being interesting, the art of complimenting and making connections, how to make people do what you want without ordering them, how to cool down any heated argument or tough situation and much more. In the Relationship section, I shared how to make your partner, friends, parents align to your thoughts without making them feel controlled, commanded or manipulated, how to make any friendship or relationship stronger and deeper, the reality of men in relationships and more. We hear alot about taking care of our mental health but how do we actually do that and that’s exactly what I talked about in the health section. Apart from this, I also have the secret to looking good and small habits that will make you look better.The last section was about wisdom. I shared the red flags within us, how to spot the difference between our needs and wants and save ourselves from overspending. I also shared practical ways to be more confident, make better decisions and feel fulfilled in life. This video isn’t a quick fix but rather how you can become 1% better each day.

WRONG History We've Been Taught - EXPOSED by Historian Vikram Sampath | FO 92 - Raj Shamani
Order my first book 'Build, Don't Talk' here: https://amzn.eu/d/eCfijRuSubscribe To Our Other YouTube Channels:-https://www.youtube.com/@rajshamaniclipshttps://www.youtube.com/@RajShamani.Shorts--------------In today’s episode of Figuring Out, Raj is in conversation with the Indian Historian and the bestselling author - Dr. Vikram Sampath. His work includes the biographies of the infamous ‘Gauhar Jaan’, the forgotten hero of Indian freedom struggle - ‘Veer Savarkar’ and ‘Bravehearts of Bharat’. Hailing from Bangalore, Samapth grew up disliking History and a certain serial about the Wadiyars of Mysore intrigued him to know more about the History. The fascination led him to an intensive research and eventually he released his first book named ‘Splendours of Royal Mysore’. Sampath discusses how Indian movies need to be more realistic when it comes to the adaptation of Historic figures and how history textbooks need to paint a wider picture of our past that is inclusive of the whole of India. He explains why our history is taught in the way it is and reveals some hidden stories of the Indian past that only a handful of us might be aware of. He explains who Veer Savarkar really was and introduces us to the heroics of this man. He elucidates on the ideological war between Gandhi & Savarkar and mentions the need of celebrating other freedom fighters as well. Sampath gives us a holistic view of the Indian past and explains why it is necessary to look back at Indian History as a critique and not hide uncomfortable details under the carpet.

Toshan Tamhane on Business, Problem Solving, Leadership and Success | Figuring Out Episode 66
Order my first book here: https://amzn.eu/d/eCfijRuIn this latest episode of Figuring Out Podcast we are in conversation with Toshan Tamhane, an avid adventurer who lives with 1 aim - “regret minimization - you only live once”.He followed the conventional IIM-A to consulting path - spent 18+ years at McKinsey across 55+ countries, advising billionaires, making deals, and building businesses. Then, a bit bored and a bit reflective, I ventured into traditional corporate roles with a passion for investing, M&As, digital builds & sustainability.Currently trying to make the full use of 24 hours every day, I also invest in start-ups (~30+ investments), teach in B-schools, serve as an active Board member, and write extensively.Managing 2 kids (and my wife) is an adventure of a different order. To do this efficiently, he keeps himself fit by climbing mountains in Nepal & the Alps as well as practicing intense sports (kickboxing, bouldering, capoeira, running marathons).Lastly, he tries to meet and learn from at least 1 person every week - that's 52 intense conversations.Will you be the next?• • •🎧 Stream Figuring Out episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/736rhmW7vilNgkFFo8aDz4📺 Watch Figuring Out episodes on YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE0Jo6NF_JYO5-phess8GKafKMtPv3tfZ☑️ Subscribe to Figuring Out Clips:https://www.youtube.com/c/FiguringOutClips• • •Toshan's Social Media Handles ⤵︎LinkedIn: Toshan Tamhanehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toshan-tamhane-b3b641/Twitter: @TamhaneToshanhttps://twitter.com/TamhaneToshan0:00 How Steve Redgrave became 5x Olympic Champion 4:33 Toshan’s Sports role model8:13 How important is attention to detail 12:40 What does Toshan Tamhane do13:45 What exactly does a CSO do? 15:30 The most important skill for a CSO 16:47 What role does Raj have in his startup 17:56 How Steve Jobs vision led to Apple’s success19:05 Alex Ferguson’s role in Manchester United’s Success20:40 3 books every aspiring CEO should read 28:20 Do books help in real life? 29:35 3 best books that Raj has read31:40 What does a CFO do? 38:05 What does a COO do? 40:35 Best books for CFO and COO42:50 difference between Startups and Corporate48:40 Why failed startups are important 50:40 Why a startup shouldn’t chase a big market52:00 Should you follow trends or passion in Business?56:15 Founder vs Market in a Business 1:00:00 Peter Thiel’s Unconventional School 1:01:00 How gut feeling can turn into a business1:04:25 Most important functions of a startup 1:06:45 How to develop problem solving skills1:17:50 Good vs Bad problem solvers 1:23:30 Why are their 2 Mafias in India 1:28:30 How can people get CEO skills?1:33:35 Toshan’s top 3 learnings 1:38:50 Why and When do businesses need consulting1:45:45 The right way to scale a business 1:53:15 Closing the loop About Raj ShamaniRaj Shamani is an Entrepreneur at heart that explains his expertise in Business Content Creation & Public Speaking.

Most of us come from a culture that gains confidence in the approval of our family. It starts with our parents, then teachers and also at work.

You don't need TALENT to succeed, you need this. Figuring Out with Raj Shamani
If you think, being Talented will really make you successful, then, you’re absolutely wrong.How Talented is Being Overrated?Most of the people think that you need to be Extremely Talented in order to become successful. Inorder to achieve something, in order to get something you need to kind of that “Special talent” which isway, way, way better than every other person, who is maybe a competitor, or maybe someone whosurrounds you in the circle where you want the opportunity.Isn’t that what we’re hearing since, a very very long time? And I think that’s absolutely Bullshit.“Talent Doesn’t Get You Anywhere; Discipline does.”Even if You’re the most Talented person on planet Earth, if you’re not disciplined enough to get back upevery day and practice about Your talent or your particular Skill every god-damn day for Hours & Hours& get better every day, You’re not gonna get Successful in your life. Trust Me.Let just assume, I am the most Talented Video Person; or say I am the most Talented Speaker on PlanetEarth & You want to Hire me; to speak for you in the Events, thus You want me to be the Spokesperson;& I am the most Talented Person. And there is one more person who is not as talented as me, but hepractices every day, he is disciplined to improve every day, is disciplined to wake up at the right time,come on the job at the right time, speak for you, prepare for you, do every god-damn thing for you.And whereas I am Talented; the moment You call me, I am making Excuses, or trying to Procrastinate, orsaying just, “I am just Sleepy today”, I tried to avoid your calls & deliver your content or speech, maybetwo days later, three days or 7 days after the deadline.Who will You Hire, The Average Speaker or The Talent Speaker? Think about it? The deadline person Orthe Stupid Talented person who feels that the WORLD REVOLVES AROUND HIM? Who’s not improving itevery day or who’s not delivering it on time?Who do you wanna choose? Try to think about this question.And then, start considering Your case & Yourself around every opportunity, if You want Stage, if Youwant some kind of Money, You need to Deserve it.

What are the top 5 skills that you think everyone should learn in Lockdown - Raj Shamani - Figuring Out #Ep. 028
Want to make yourself "able" enough to cut through the competition? Here are 5 skills that have helped me chase my dreams:1. Ability to sell.If you are not selling, you are not growing. At the end of the day, no matter what you do, whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or a doctor, you NEED to sell something to someone.2. Ability to learn.At every point in your life, you need to have this itch learn something new because unless you’re learning, growing, and upgrading yourself, you won’t be able to achieve the maximum potential.3. Ability to manage money.Educate yourself on how you can have your money make more money by investing money wisely. While money cannot buy happiness, it can surely allow you to fulfil your dreams.4. Ability to communicate.At this moment where everything is happening virtually, you need to become a communicator. Communication skills will help you to deliver your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively.5. Ability to think strategically.With so many options around us, it's important that you learn how to make conscious and efficient choices. Strategic thinking skills will help you "think" better.If you found this even a bit valuable, please leave me positive comments and share it with as many people as you can and I promise to bring value for you every day.

How to Increase Engagement on Instagram. Raj Shamani - Figuring Out #Ep. 027
I grew my Instagram family from 11k to 124k in 6 months. And here's the strategy I applied so you can copy for your account:1. Drop your two cents everywhere.Go to the profiles of mega or macro-influencers in your niche and check the comments of their post. Reply comments of others with the insightful response that can add value. Most of them will check your profile and become a follower because you provided them with value.2. Respond, respond, respond.Reply to every comment and every DM possible. If someone reaches out for advice, try your best that they don't leave without getting answers. This is how you build long-lasting relations with your community.3. Make content in every format possible - consistently.Instagram alone has various content points to post different content formats - Text in form of captions, image & video posts, IGTV, Stories and now Reels - Make use of every format option so people can consume content however they like. And remember, consistency is STILL the key.
