Hidden in Plain Sight……..👓👓……….

is something that appears to be hidden, but is actually very easy to see or find

It means that something is so obvious that it might be missed at first.

This is exactly what I felt when I heard the first few minutes of this episode.

The golden nuggets🌟🌟🌟in this episode are covered in two lines

What a simple, beautifully worded yet very deep line.

Shaan just explained in context of market crash that in volatile markets, investor just need to simple things like

✅ Do not panic,

✅ Not sell all the positions,

✅ Not stop investing,

✅ Not tryto time the market and be the superstar…

Simple things, right ??

We all know this but most often than not…

Fear gets to all of us and we make investment decisions and we hurt ourselves by taking more actions than needed.

So what is the mantra here ?

Keep it Simple Silly !!!

In context of business, personal goals, relationships, Investment and pretty much every other part of life we complicate stuff and forget the power of simplicity.

We are being trained to “complicate” stuff while the answer is in straight forward stuff that we know will give us tremendous results.

Hence important that we rather take simple things seriously than make life difficult with complex solutions.

and

Just thinking both sides of action rationally is responding.

Sometimes, the thinking could be only for few seconds but it can have a massive impact on the outcome.

Social media products have just made it worse : an instant like, share comment is changing our behaviour and pushing us more and more to react to stuff.. Its not my rant to say social media is bad but just an observation of simple changes in our life is making a profound impact on us.

Introspection🧘🏾🧘🏾

This set me thinking, which are other areas of my life where I can apply these two frameworks. Here are my top 5

1) Getting in Shape :

I have a classic Dad Bod and Dad Bod wants to transform to Boy Bod. I will do Simple things seriously 🙂 . I am sure you can guess : Eat Clean, Lifts and Run, No late night Snacks … My classic 80:20

2) Being present with my Family

I have consciously made one change in last few months ( before this pod) to just NOT look at the phone when I am talking to my son or to my wife.

3) Call one person in my family every day.

It takes less than 5 minutes and gives me an amazing feeling..

4) Network is Networth

Take only one action a day a week to reach out to people in my network.

5) Writing

forget about formatting every post but sitting down and writing it.

Here is what I want you to do :

1. Listen to first 15 minutes of the pod

2. Think and note down what are the things that you have over complicated and can be simplified

3. Share what changes have you made

4. Send me your feedback, subscribe if you find this useful, share if you loved it :)

With lots of love, gaurav
