Be the Change you Wish to See in this World - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD52

Namaste!

Hope you are doing well!

Well, it is Episode 52 and we have come to the end of this first season of episodes!

I have cherished interviewing 34 Entrepreneurs, 2 Couplepreneurs in the past one year.

It has surely been a great learning for me; very insightful and I am sure the listeners out here had a wonderful time listening to various stories of change and perseverance!

I am grateful for all the Entrepreneurs and Listeners for making this a wonderful Season 1.

In the 50th Episode we spoke about ‘WHY’ one wants to start a venture or a business.

Today, I am going to talk about the Willingness to Make the Change!

I am sure we have seen great companies having their WHY in place and when they are out in the market, the Change is out there for everyone to see!

e.g; TATA, APPLE

Before one can figure out the WHY, it all starts with the WILLINGNESS TO MAKE A CHANGE, TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD!

With every Entrepreneur that I have spoken on my show, everyone had this one thought to make a change, to create something new for the benefit of others!

That my friend is the start of a venture tied along with the inner journey!

As Mahatma Gandhi, quotes “Be the Change, you wish to see in this world!” So does every new idea, new concept, new venture, new perspective begins within oneself to create a better world!

You may ask how do I change myself or Why should I change myself?

To answer the WHY – Well, haven’t you felt this at any point in your life, that things could have been better or it should have been handled well or quite simply things need to change for the benefit of everyone!

To answer the HOW – Tapping into yourself, any activity that one can do with utter involvement can lead to satisfaction and clarity! Meditation, Yoga, Dance, any Art form can help one to tap into their inner self.

From my own life experience so far I know it works and in an amazing way!

A request to all embarking on an independent journey or those who are working in companies or those who are Entrepreneurs, dive in and get to know yourself!

Because when one taps into the inner self, the inner journey, then the beauty of life unfolds and you can only make it better for yourself and others from here on!

As I always say, Invest in yourself and what you reap is surely going to be phenomenal!

So here is me ending Season 1. Meet you soon in the next Season probably with something different or a different format or a different topic and ofcourse a different year.

Until then, Invest in yourself!

Please let me know if you want me to talk about any particular topic or concept. I would love to do that. You can reach out to me on Instagram @shwethackrish and other platforms too- The links are mentioned in this episode description.

Start with WHY - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD50

Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

Well it is Episode 50 and I am so glad to have conversed with wonderful people about their beautiful journeys.

I hope the previous episodes were of some value to all you listeners.

I have interviewed people from various genres and experiences and the insights which they have shared on the Podcast is quite valuable and remarkable.

I am sure it would have resonated with you on some level.

We have spoken about businesses, marketing, challenges, sources of income, passion, consistency, protocols, products, services, avenues, teams, Financial management and whole lot of other things related to business and an entrepreneur but there is one important thing which is the reason behind starting a business or a venture.

So, today, I am going to talk about the question we probably overlook is WHY!

To quote Simon Sinek- “People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe”

One anyone wants to start a business – the probable question one asks others or oneself is “What business should I start?” or “What should I do to make money?” or “What is the market open for now?”

Ain’t that right?

These questions are relevant but before all these there is one major question which one needs to ask oneself.

WHY?

Why should I start a business?

Why do I need to put out a product or a service?

Most companies or people start with WHAT and end up feeling confused when the business is not successful because they don’t have their WHY defined out?

As Simon Sinek rightly puts out that people buy your products or services because they relate or resonate with your WHY.

Once the WHY is sorted out the HOW to do it and WHAT to do it will readily fall into place.

To elaborate:

WHY talks about: purpose

HOW talks about: USP

WHAT talks about: Your product or services

For instance, TATA is a global brand, we do know what all they do, which industries they are in and how different they are from other companies. They have made impact to the minds of not just Indian people but people across the world because of their WHY?

Their WHY is all about nation building, employment creation and talent skills acquisition! They could stand for other things as well but you know what I am talking about.

It is all about the WHY.

Addressing the WHY needs to happen intrinsically, within yourself as someone who wants to be entrepreneur. One you are sorted inside the HOW and the WHAT will follow suit and there your business is out there.

If you still are not CLEAR about your WHY, then it is time to pay attention and figure out the WHY.

Well, so start with WHY!

Never too late to restrategize the way you operate your business or Life for that matter.

I think the biggest lesson is to ask yourself WHY you are at this particular JOB or WHY you are you leading a LIFE like this.

The WHY is applicable to your LIFE as well which is your biggest and important venture!

It is time to look within for your business or your LIFE!

Start with Why and I shall leave you to it while I end this episode.

Please let me know if you want me to talk about any particular topic or concept. I would love to do that.

Minimalism and Productivity - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD46

Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

Today I am here to talk on Minimalism and Productivity!

You may wonder, "How are they related?" or "Do they go hand in hand?"

Minimalism does make us Productive. Less is surely more! Confusing?!

Let's look into How Minimalism fosters Productivity.

I have spoken about Minimalism in my previous solo episodes, now Let's look into how Minimalism can be a Productive Tool.

Lesser Clutter- Physically and Mentally

Decluttering our Physical spaces and also decluttering our minds from past memories and future imaginations is a start for having a productive day!

We all need to tackle the mess that could be in our homes like clothes strewn around, unwashed dishes, half-done activities etc. The clutter in our mind also need to be addressed either through Introspection or Journaling or Meditation whichever suits your needs!

Lesser distractions

This accounts for all the irrelevant activities done at an inappropriate time. Like watching a movie when you have a deadline to adhere to in the next few minutes or an important meeting with a client. One could plan the day accordingly to avoid stress. When working from home there could be a whole lot of distractions, it is best to tell the people concerned about your work timings. Distractions wouldn't come into play as long as one is involved with the task at hand in that moment.

Lesser gadgets

It is always best to keep it simple! Keep only the gadgets or technical resources which are needed for your work. There isn't a need to buy the top class gadgets just because you are starting work in a new company. You can start off with minimal but much needed resources than buying expensive and irrelevant ones.

The tools and gadgets shouldn't add to the clutter and overwhelm you. It is best to make efficient use of the resources present with you.

This also goes for using Gadgets as a distraction when you have tons of work to do!

Lesser compulsive activities

One should practice consciously working on activities rather than mindlessly doing things. This would avoid stress and unnecessary goof-ups. If one can be involved with the job at hand- it could be either doing laundry or creating a presentation or writing an article, the joy and satisfaction of doing that job with utter involvement at that moment can be truly amazing! It is all about being in the PRESENT moment! Everything is about NOW!

Lesser the talk

Well when at work or when one is doing a job - it is best to keep the talking to a minimal unless it is very much required to talk to the stakeholders concerned to complete the activity.

When you don't talk irrelevantly then your focus is on the job concerned and it helps to be productive and finish the job with ease!

Well these are just a few ways in which Minimalism fosters Productivity. There could be more ways. But for now see if this resonates with you and if you are able to accomplish being productive by accepting Minimalism in your way of Life.

Please let me know if you want me to talk about any particular topic or concept. I would love to do that.

Minimalism in Business - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD40

Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

We have looked into Minimalism in EP 20 – the link of which is in this episode description.

But how can we incorporate Minimalism in our Business? Could we actually do this?

Yes we can!

Let’s explore on what is Minimalism especially in an online business.

For a Minimalist Business person, Success isn’t about Money, Expanding to each and every continent and having products in all categories.

For a Minimalist,

1. Success is about being Independent, having the freedom to take decisions and to make a profitable running business however small the business is.

2. He would be someone who looks into simplifying the process of conducting the business without much hassles and dependency on complex processes.

3. He would delegate or share the work with his team members.

A Minimalist would indulge in this freedom of running a business the way he wants to and also explore life or go on vacations when he wants to.

Does having a Minimalist Business entail we are giving the customer a not so efficient product or service?

Or does it mean, we have to cater to only a set product or service?

Absolutely not!

Let’s explore the Ways in which we can practise Minimalism in our Business.

1. Decide on what your business is about or Reassess your Business Strategies for an existing business-

2. Online Business?

3. Assess on Tools, Frameworks, Softwares-

4. Plan SMART Goals-

5. Delegate work-

6. Go Slow-

7. Automate and Declutter-

Read more on the above out here - Minimalism in Business

Having a Minimalist Business is about enjoying the freedom to work on what you truly love doing and also to explore life and live the way you want to consciously and not being limited by time or money!

Being Present in the Moment and Being Productive - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD35

How to be Present in the Moment and be Productive

Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

In this episode I am going to talk about - How to be Present in the Moment and be Productive

There are certainly times when doing mundane tasks or watching a movie or preparing for an exam, our mind is anxious or restless. This is due to our preoccupied minds or quite simply our mind is thinking about a zillion other things.

I am sure you must have experienced the above.

There have been many times when I was at work and I used to think of the chores pending at home and likewise when I was home I used to think about the tasks at work.

Sounds familiar right?

Well, in our pursuit of having a happy and bright future we are neglecting the present and constantly worried about the future or dwelling in the past.

How do we get past this?

Our mind is thinking something while we are doing something totally different.

I am sure at this moment you want a solution or an idea.

Stay with me in this moment. Take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Keep doing this for a couple of minutes.

Ok now let's get to the point.

How can we practise or just be mindful of being in the present moment?

This is a question we have now.

Let's take it step by step.

Scenario 1: I am sure all of us would have played one game or another.

Be completely present in the moment and go with the flow

Scenario 2: Think of a goal or a target which was fruitful because you focused on the job at hand.

Concentrate wholly on one single task at a time.

Scenario 3: Imagine getting bored when doing laundry or cleaning the kitchen everyday.

Enjoy and again give it your all and don't think of a task as big or small just think of it as a task needed to be done at this moment.

Probably you can observe yourself when you are doing certain tasks be it at work or at home.

Try it for yourself and see the difference it brings to your daily life.

Do let me know how it went by being in the present moment and ofcourse being productive.

Waiting to hear from you!
