#308 Why It Is Important To Find A Good CO-Founder

Co-founders are the support system, which can make or break your startup. I have so many stories of how co-founders came together and filled in the gaps for each other and supported each other in the startup journey. But I also have a lot of stories where the co-founders were not compatible. Their personalities did not match each other. And just like a bad divorce, it ended up in disaster. Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

As startup founders, one of the biggest challenges we face is to have enough people around us who can believe in our mission, who know us, like us, and can trust us with the solution we are bringing to the marketplace — it is going to work, and it will create the impact that we are claiming it to create.

#306 What Risks And Sacrifices Do Startups Demand

Startups are like a baby — you’ve given birth to an idea. Now you need to raise that baby until it becomes an adult. That is equivalent to a self-sustaining, growing, and healthy business, which is generating tons of cash flow. You’ve to think like a parent. Parents give everything that they've got to raise a kid, they let go of their sleep, comfort, and finances. Similarly, in a startup world, you may have to push yourself to the boundaries that you may not even realize. You’ve to do things which are totally new to you.

#291 How To Communicate Easily

Don’t use very technical language and don’t attempt to be smart. Instead, treat everybody like they are in seventh grade and use simple language so that most people can understand what you're trying to say. The second thing is — to try to use different mediums — if you’re a good writer, write; If you’re good at video, shoot a video with the same content and then create audio out of that and distribute it on different platforms, because some people will like to read, some watch the video and some listen to the audio. This way you can make sure your message reaches far and wide.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

#290 How To Approach An Investor

I have a brilliant idea for my business. And I have approached so many investors but I'm just not getting any positive response. A lot of entrepreneurs make the mistake of approaching investors and just talking about themselves. But you need to focus on the priorities for those investors — what do you bring to the table? How are you going to make their money? How fast are you going to bring that return? When are they going to see an exit? All these are very important to investors.

#289 How Technology Is Part Of Our Evolution

I spent the weekend in the jungle on a meditation retreat, and I met a lot of beautiful people there. One question I get asked very frequently when I tell them that I work with artificial intelligence is whether it is harmful to humans — will it take over? And I firmly believe that this is a fear of the unknown, even though people like Elon Musk are warning us about it — I don't believe in that. Because the technology that is built by humans is actually part of our evolution. So it can’t be treated as some other entity that is going to be harmful. And the example I use is the discovery of fire and wheel. All these technologies have become part of us. Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

#288 How Often Do You Check Your Finances

I know we shouldn't talk about money but I'm curious. How often do you check your finances? Daily, weekly, monthly, or never? I'm asking because I've noticed with our most successful clients — have a certain financial habit. They keep track of their finances. They look at their personal savings account, business accounts, and retirement accounts — and they know exactly where the money is coming from and where it’s going.

#286 How Is Your Relation With Your Customer

A lot of people think the relationship with your customer starts when you make the sale. But that's a misconception. The customer relationship starts when they first notice you and become aware of your brand. Now, as they become aware — they show some interest, they will start to stalk you and will consume everything that you're putting out. This is the journey — they are developing their own relationship with you. And when they actually give you their money and become a real customer as far as you are concerned. That is the culmination of that relationship.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

Well speaking about me in primary school — I was terrible. I was always in the lower 50th percentile. But something happened in seventh grade, I had a serious illness. And I just bought out of taking any examination for that year. But there was one particular teacher who encouraged me to study hard and just go for it. She said, even if you fail, it doesn't matter because we all understand. You were sick, and you were out in the hospital for weeks. So on her encouragement, I actually wrote the exam. And to my surprise, I got first place. At that time, I realized, that if I really push myself and really apply myself, I can do anything that I want. And after that, I was always in the upper 10th percentile throughout my educational journey.

Your passion can make you a millionaire | Dev Gadhvi

Introduction to Dev Gadhvi (0:28) Today, we are going to have a very interesting discussion with Dev Gadhvi. Dev has a very inspirational story — I will request him to introduce himself and share a little bit about his story. But he's one of the leading entrepreneurs, mentors, and coaches, who help 1000s and 1000s of people around the globe, find their passion and build a business around their passion. So welcome. Very excited to have you here. Highlights (1:29) I was brought up in Adipur Kutch Gujrat. While growing up, the first 20 years were very difficult, didn't have the money or resources to get an English medium education. The next phase of my life was 16 years, which was typically a nine-to-five life. And I started developing my skills in sales, marketing, branding, and book writing, that phase got me to the third phase of life. That's when I met my first mentor Grant Cardone who gave me a new perspective.(14:02) …90% of businesses fail in the first five years, then the remaining 9% out of 10% fail in the next five years And there’s a common pattern for that — the root cause of businesses failing is a lack of clarity, mission, and vision. Most of them started because they want to copy somebody. Let me just ride the wave you know, everybody is going into crypto, NFT, and so on. You need to be unique in order to win — how can you be you? Most people just focus on demand, what does the market want? Let me just do that. They're not passionate about it. They may or may not have skills, that's why they fail. So knowing who you are, what is your mission, and what is your vision — makes yous unique. Because businesses can be similar but you are unique. Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

#283 What Investors Look For

After working with hundreds of investors, what I’ve found is savvy investors only invest in businesses that they really understand. And they don't go around looking for all kinds of opportunities out there. They just pick a niche. And they get experts at that. Because they really understand these companies — they can see where the founder is trying to take them. And then they can help provide some direction, connections, and networking opportunities for these founders. And these are the kinds of investors who become insanely successful while playing the venture capitalist game.

#281 How To Test Your Product Idea Without an Investment

Well, the key is to share that idea and have a lot of conversations with a lot of people. So whenever I have to test an idea, without even creating a landing page without even creating any kind of prototype — I start talking to my network. I share that idea and say, “Hey, you know, I've been thinking about this idea. What do you think about it? Do you think this is a real problem in the business world, in the B2B community, B2C community…” Whatever the target audience seems to be, I go to my network, and I start sharing that idea and getting honest feedback.

The best-kept secret in the startup world is that your network is your net worth. I have noticed the difference between the clients who are really successful, and the clients who just struggle.

Journey From a Remote Indian Village to the Heart of Silicon Valley | Arun Patnaik

Introduction to Arun Patnaik(00:30 )Arun has an amazing story — right now he's a vice president in Oracle. And he's working on some really exciting projects, which we will talk about. But he also has a very interesting story similar to mine, he came from India, from a remote village, and now he's managing a team of about 250. So let's talk to him. Let's understand his journey, what he has learned and what lessons he can share with usHighlights(5:19) So it seems like the innate talent you had was showing up early… getting that scholarship. And I think, as you said, the foundational learnings that we get from our parents, and in early childhood, really shape our life. And the last thing I take away from this is, as you said — Sybase approach you twice — if something is meant to be, it generally happens. (33:53) Mentoring for me has been… asking hard questions to myself. The key is to seek out mentors, depending on wherever you are, find somebody who has been through that or who has some idea about it. And hopefully, they can point you to look at things in a certain manner. Mentoring is an enriching experience. Because you have only one life — and if you wanted to learn everything you could learn only from your experience… that would be limited.

And I was really good at creating art and new craft projects out of recycled material. That was a lot of fun for me. Slowly, this passion developed into more technical fields like computer science, physics, and chemistry. Ultimately I found my true passion, which was to write programs on computers and do some meaningful work to help humanity and businesses to optimize their operations — live a better life and just enjoy this beautiful existence on planet earth.

#277 Why 99% of Startups Fail?

Well, it's an Industry known fact that 90% of startups fail in the first year, and then the rest who survive — fail in the next five years. This means only about one to 2% of the startups actually become successful businesses. Why is that? because of one reason: cash flow. Because the strength & health of a business depend on cash flow — how much cash are you bringing in, how much revenue are you bringing in? It doesn't matter how much money you’ve been able to raise, how many investors you have, how many brands you have as your partners, how many logos you have on your pitch deck, what kind of rockstars you have on your advisory team or your executive team? What matters is how much revenue are you bringing in?Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

It cannot make sense. Therefore, it can't have any meaning. Unless you solve these problems — unless you can have any big hi-fi things like possible Explainable AI. I think what I'm saying is not very different. It matches a lot with people in computer science. But they don't have the frameworks or templates coming from the diverse psychological backgrounds, which are blended with computer science.(35:20) If we were working on adversarial uncertainty, that means you might have a Tesla, but as a hacker, I can take your car and spirit.

#276 What Did I Learn From Steve Jobs About Marketing

I do not use Apple products myself on principle. But I learned a lot from Steve Jobs in terms of how to market the product. Well, the very first thing I learned was how to position products at a premium level. You see, Apple is making really great products, but at the same time, they charge an arm and a leg for a phone, and they have a massive, massive profit margin than that. And you can see why Apple has become one of the most profitable and most valuable companies in a very short period of time.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

#273 How to think like Elon musk and Steve Jobs?

Elon Musk and Steve Jobs are such household names in the world of entrepreneurship that mentioning them has almost become a cliché. However, it became a cliché because these two men are legends in their respective fields. One thing they have in common is that they are both keen observers of humanity and behavior. Another thing they do is try to make people happy. As a result, the happier people are, the more money they spend. Therefore, businesses should always strive to maximize customer happiness and satisfaction.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...

What It Takes to Become an Expert in Data Science and Analytics | Beverly Wright

Highlights (16:44) We are trying to understand human beings because data science is nothing else but to affect some change in the real world which affects humans and if we don't understand their priorities, it's a moot point. (25:20) Well, there's bias and the goal is to reduce it so if you're talking about bias and problem framing, the first thing I do is say close your laptop just don't even look at it and the second thing I highly recommend is a whiteboard, just hashing through the problems that you're trying to solve using some low-tech method like a whiteboard without looking at the data.  (28:54) It's a little frightening in some ways... especially I get a little nervous when I think about like cognitive computing and programs that are programming like machines talking to machines and when the human element gets sort of left out of the entire equation quite literally, sometimes that makes me a little nervous for our future because I want to make sure that that the black box is a solid one and then it's a good one and it's an ethical one. Introduction to Beverly Wright(0:32) Dr. Beverly Wright is a Chief Analytics Strategist at Axis Group and Executive Director for the Center for Applied Business Analytics at the University of South Carolina.Beverly is a sought-after professional speaker at well-known conferences, presenting on topics such as data science, consumer insights, and marketing analytics, and she also publishes articles in a variety of business journals.Dr. Beverly Wright hosts TAG Data Talk, a podcast offered by the Technology Association of Georgia, in which she and her interviewees discuss topics such as talent, tools, trends, and techniques in data science and analytics.Beverly earned a Ph.D. in Marketing, a Master of Science degree in Analytical Methods, and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Decision Sciences from Georgia State University.She has also received a Professional Research Certification from the Marketing Research Association and is currently a Certified Analytics ProfessionalSupport the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujagga... ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manujagro/■ Instagram: ...
