Way back in college I dreamt of working with India’s BIG 4s.
Back then, being a voracious reader, I read Ashwin Sanghi’s book 13 Steps To Bloody Good Luck & it had a profound impact on my life.
In this book, Ashwin explained about how rat race works and even if you win the rat race you’re still a rat.
Since then, I ditched the dream of “corporate worker” & started building my own multiple businesses, got India’s highest finance degree, educated >8000 participants across the globe with financial literacy, built a 100k community & made tons of money. (Though some day I intend to work with corporates just to have a taste of it & understand how such a gigantic machine is operated and learn the ropes).
Me & my team mates have a flexible working schedule (strict noooooooo to 9-5 work), remote work is what all of us prefer & our meetings are short (usually 5-20 minutes & discuss only essential work cutting irrelevant formality crap). I can hardly see any corporates working with such flexibility.
It’s been 8 years of quitting the rat race & thankfully I’m doing better than my corporate mates.
I took the risk & it paid off. Sometimes, you’ve to get out of the status quo & try unconventional ways.
From my experience, there are only 2 outcomes-
1. Either you’ll do well.
2. Or, you’ll fail miserably, learn precious life lessons from your mistakes & live regret free life of doing what you wanted to do.
It needs courage & fearlessness to quit the rat race.
When you quit the rat race: heads you win, tails you don’t lose much.
