What is the most common mistake people make while goal setting? Many of us don't even set goals because we just want to go with the flow. 😂 But for those who like setting goals, the most common mistake is setting outcome based goals instead of effort based goals. For example, weight loss shouldn't be the goal but to eat a well-planned diet and exercise based on a calculated program. We can't control the outcomes but we can control the process and efforts. Further, there is a longer time lag in terms of getting a feedback if we just focus on outcomes. Are you setting your goals right? #mentorship #success #india #usa #leadership #entrepreneurship #innovation #management Follow GeniUs Universal and join our community to get regular updates on entrepreneurship and leadership. https://lnkd.in/gdrBfpZs

What is the definition of an excuse? When we don't do what we are supposed to do then we try to justify or rationalise it, it is called an excuse. Rationalize = Rational Lies When we tell a lie to ourselves, we take away our own power to grow. That's why I do my best to underpromise and over deliver. Although, I do sometimes fall flat on my face and catch myself making excuses (old habits don't die that easily); each time I pick myself up and work my way up to taking responsibility for my growth.

You might have heard about the golden rule, but have you heard about the platinum rule? If you are new to this, the golden rule says, "Treat others as you would like to be treated." It's a great place to begin relationship building with others but unfortunately it doesn't go very far because different people like to be treated differently. A modified and advanced version is the platinum rule - treat other people like they want to be treated. It's not only considers our feelings but also the feelings of others in a customised way. While it is simple to say this but it requires a lot of emotional maturity to execute it. I'm not perfect but I constantly strive to grow in this area.

My wife and I are polar opposites in terms of our thought process and personalities, then how can we be a strong team? When I began my entrepreneurial journey, I wanted every one on my team to think like I do. That way the conflicts would be lesser and we could make progress faster. It worked in short term but in long term it was a big mistake because there was no diversity. I eventually learnt from my mentors that success happens only when we have unity in diversity. The team members need to share a similar vision but should have different personalities and perspectives so that we can get the whole picture and have alternate solutions to the same problem. In other words, I like black and white whereas my wife likes colorful. Together we make a beautiful painting. #mentorship #success #india #usa #leadership #entrepreneurship #innovation #management Follow GeniUs Universal and join our community to get regular updates on entrepreneurship and leadership. https://lnkd.in/gdrBfpZs

If Friday sounds more exciting than Monday then you need to probably change something! Most of us wait for the weekend, especially the long ones so that we can escape from our work. I used to do the same. But then I decided to take a path less taken. I decided to stop following the norms and created my own norms that work for me. I used my weekends to create a life so that I don't want to escape from it. I built business in an area which aligns with my goals and values (with the support of my entrepreneurship mentors) and then eventually became my own boss. Now all 7 days seem equally exciting because everyday is a new opportunity to make a positive difference.

Do you want to increase your productivity by 4X? Ditch the annual plan! Yes, you heard it right. Annualized planning is the trap because we think we have plenty of time to catch up. A month is too long and a day is too short for getting the right feedback. This is what led to an alternate plan called the "12 week year" where we consider each week like a month and thus each quarter acts like a year. Thereby giving us 4 touch points in a calendar year to recalibrate our goals. I personally found following benefits: 1. A shorter deadline creates a sense of urgency and we procrastinate less. 2. Effective execution happens on daily or weekly basis 3. I increase my effectiveness by 4X! Are you ready to follow the new execution plan? #mentorship #success #india #usa #leadership #entrepreneurship #innovation #management Follow GeniUs Universal and join our community to get regular updates on entrepreneurship and leadership. https://lnkd.in/gdrBfpZs

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Accountable"? The most common use of this word happens when we don't follow through on our commitments and our supervisor/parent holds us accountable as a consequence. In reality, holding others accountable can produce temporary results through compliance but it often comes with blame game and victim mindset in the organisation. True growth happens through commitment (not compliance) which is earned through creating a culture of ownership. The only person who we can and should truly hold accountable is our own self, and no one else. As we do the right thing, we attract and inspire a similar behaviour in others around us. It is slow, frustrating but the most sustainable way of bringing a transformational change.
