  • Top 3: 1) Think Big. Think Different. Take Risks. 2) Read and Write -- Build your skills for the long game (10 years) 3) Build your Brand with 1 + 2.
  • @Devimahato734
    Learnt: 1.As a failure society bahot criticise karti hai India mein. One should not do that. 2. Potential companies ke ESOPs lene chahiye..if you think it will grow while working 3. USA mein kitna sahi hai business karna ...we can file bankruptcy if nothing worked with no pressure from outside 4. Bade market mei khud chote raho, aur business shuru kardo. Chai, Design, Raj's perfume eg. 5. Business shuru karne se phele bada socha , kitna bada soch sakte ho.. his eg of employees million chahiye toh billion socho. 6.Agar aap ye kaam 10 years kar sakte ho fir hi Karo. Think in long run always 7. To generate High income skill. Marketing...it can develop through writing. Likho. Apne thoughts likho. Raj's eg of writing rap, summary of podcast. His suggestion to journal. Just jod the points in note pad.
  • I'm 18 and currently I'm trying to learn stock market trading before this I did drop shipping but soon gave up on it because it was not a piece of cake for me. I have nothing figured out in my life, I get haunted everyday by thoughts like "will I ever be financially independent? Can I ever visit my dream vacation place? Can I ever afford my dream car?" I've only figured out that I want to make huge amount of money but I haven't planned the way to grab that big chunk of money and this scares me alot 😞😞😞
  • Amazing session, Raj ! Extremely insightful. For me, key takeaways are 1. Failures are fantastic ..as it helps people come out successfully by sharing lessons on how to transform and turnaround. 2. It is better to play a smaller niche role in a BIG market...than the other way. 3. Skills needed for freelancers, employees, and entrepreneurs in these days. 4. Build your brand before your business....your personal brand must be bigger than your company's brand. Please keep up the great work!!!
  • I have fallen in love with your podcasts , Raj you truly have a unique format , which is you don't have any format , it is just a conversation and your curiosity to drill down and go deep . Superb, am really enjoying these. THANKS .

    Lucky and blessed to work with Ajay. He's always motivated and is an inspiration to us. My takeaway is - Failure is a blessing.
  • @sagarkhot4298
    I have watched almost all your podcasts videos related to Entrepreneurship. This is the best one until now. He is totally spot on .
  • ACCHA LAGA : The way AJAY kept hustling and finally succeeded.Many wonderful insights about business and marketing. AJEEB LAGA: Most of the families in INDIA even not invest a single penny on your education the first day you failed. Ajay's family was very supportive specially his father and he had leverage of going USA which proves that he belongs to weel to do family. DEMAND: Please bring a podcast on Engineering life,hustle culture during 20's and sports as well.
