Learn to Earn

Learning means Lots of Earning. It's true in today's Information Age where you need to keep on learning to move ahead.

Keep learning to be eligible. Focus on learning. If you enjoy it, soon you will be expert in extracting learning from reading, listening and any day to day situations from self or from others.

There is infinite knowledge so focusing on one subject may get boring or lowering motivation after some time so try to learn different subjects at a time to keep the excitement of learning. Find ways to share learnings. If you work on cause ( learning), effect (earning) will bound to happen.

Happy Learning!

Push Limit to build Habit

When you want to build habit, it often becomes "boring" activity to carry out or to start it.

To carry through it without getting distracted:

• First step is to build a system to make you aware of it like Reminder application.
• Second step is to try to do just little extra when you feel friction in mind. 
• Last step is to create "pause" to reflect, log activity done.

To Start:

• Create Hope to find motivation to start when Reminder pops up and then just focus on doing task 
• 
  
• Reflect and create purpose to keep you motivated.

Japanese Way

If You are afraid of starting any task or study thinking how much you have to do and keep postponing for tomorrow; just try this...

Start the task; set a timer for 20 mins and just keep doing it. Once timer goes off, stop and take rest. There is no need to look how much you completed. Repeat again after 5-10 mins. 

Just enjoy doing the work whatever you want to do for next 20 mins and feel peace and satisfaction within you.

In Japan, they do it for cleaning for 20 mins as mindfulness activity.

Being Consultant

Become a Consultant in every way. Your objective is to identify problems, find solutions and Package them as solution.

If you can help for bigger purpose, you will be more successful. However, focus needs to shift to start doing things right now that you feel you should do or will do down the line. No need to worry about speed etc just focus on doing things at a time matching to vision. You may need to change paths more often and you need to be ready for it.
