Learn to do at least one thing god-damn well!
Is there one thing you can do really, really, really well?
If not, no worries. Give yourself 7 months to learn just one skill with high demand.
Not 2, not 3, just one would be enough.
Not any random skill though. Learn to solve a problem.
For 6 months, you think about that problem day and night, you do everything you can to learn that skill, you read everything you can get your hand on, do every course you can find on it, join all the online communities where other such professionals are there, do whatever it takes.
In 6 months, with honest effort, you could be pretty good at solving that problem.
Most people lack the courage, the soul, the intensity, the focus to apply themselves to learning to solve one problem for 6 months.
Doubt seeps in.
Excuses come around.
Temptations distract them.
Discomfort dissuades them.
The uncertainty kills them.
They drop off from the race too soon.
But you will not drop off. You will stick with one problem for 6 whole months.
Then you will give yourself 1 month to work for free or next to free for some small businesses, so you can apply yourself, and create some results.
No results, no track record, no future.
You will figure out how to produce god-damn results with that god-damn skill.
Your life will never be the same again. You will already be ahead of 90% of people for the rest of your life.
You will be in top 10% of humanity. Want to be in top 1%? That is another battle. That is for later. That will take longer and that game is played differently.
Take it from me because I was where you are today, and now I am in that 1%.
I am telling you, because I have seen thousands of my learners go through this grind. This grind will change you forever.
Just 7 months. Do it so you will never be poor again. That is all it takes to break the chains of poverty.
If you will not even do that, you deserve to be where you are.
Your call.
So what skill is it going to be? What problem will you solve?

What is the recipe for a terrible, sad, unhappy, draining job?
If you live in a paradigm where you get a job first, then someone tells you what to do, and your manager is responsible to extract work out of you - that’s not happening.
Even if you find that job, you will NOT like it. Your labour, effort, time, is merely a commodity for a business like that. It is a recipe for an unhappy, low paid job.
There is another type of job - where you are the leader. What does it look like?
You know how you can help a business in a certain area. You know businesses have a certain problem and you can solve it.
You have solved it before.
You think a lot about how to solve that problem even better.
You have a demonstrable track record on solving that problem.
And that problem is a burning problem for some businesses.
And now suddenly everyone wants to hire you to solve that problem. Not as a commodity, but as a partner, as a saviour, as an answer to their prayers.
That is the position you want to be in.
What would it take to get there? 6 months of being obsessed with learning to solve one problem? What is it going to be? What problem will you solve?

These ladies have embraced remote work, so can you!
So here are their stories.
So here are their stories.
Komal Shah
Komal has been working remotely for almost six years now, and is Co-Founder and Chief Knowledge Officer at SkillArbitrage. Before she joined us, Komal worked in three countries, led an IPO, and headed international legal teams.
But in 2016, she relocated to Mumbai with a three-year-old daughter and did not want to travel two hours every day in the notorious Mumbai traffic to a downtown law firm. She would rather spend those hours with her daughter.
At the same time, she did not want to give up on work either.

Enter remote work, which has given her the perfect work-life balance and saved her precious time and energy, which she has devoted to her family and herself. By eliminating the need for travel, Komal feels she has the time and opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
She still works 12 hours a day, and runs a team that spans across several countries, with her major clients based in Singapore, Dubai, UK and California.

Priyanka Karwa
Priyanka was the first remote employee to join us as we were scaling our startup in 2015. Having shifted to Mumbai post-marriage, Priyanka’s conservative family background meant that while she could step outside the home to work, she still had to fulfil all her family responsibilities. And she was finding it difficult to balance the two worlds.
After the birth of her first child, she herself did not want to leave the baby with paid caregivers. But as a workaholic, she also felt a deep need for a professional identity.
When she connected with us, she explained that she was only looking for part-time remote work since her baby needed full-time care, so she joined as a customer care executive.

In the years since then, Priyanka has become a mother for a second time, and has worked her way up to the position of Co-Founder, and helping thousands of our learners find domestic and international jobs, internships, and freelance work.
What’s more, she has used her example to inspire at least 10 other women in her neighbourhood who come from similarly conservative backgrounds, to seek a professional career.
A passionate baker herself, she has even tutored home bakers who are now working from home and earning handsomely!

Sunayani Ganguly
A veteran of the advertising industry, Sunayani was no stranger to the everyday misogyny of a male-dominated profession. So much so that some of her workplaces didn’t even have separate washrooms for women.
Having worked for some of the biggest names in Indian advertising, Sunayani was also frustrated by what she saw as the inherent ageism of the industry, which makes a woman feel ‘old’ at 40, while her male colleague of the same age is probably seen as ‘experienced’.
Moreover, she also experienced the ‘gender pay gap’ which is prevalent in almost every country in the world, when she discovered that a junior male colleague whom she was asked to mentor was paid the same salary as her.

Incidentally, Oxfam’s ‘India Discrimination Report 2022’ pays special attention to the gender pay gap, revealing that women face bias both in recruitment and pay across the country. For those interested in the full story, check out the Frontline report here.
Remote work has made her gender irrelevant, as far as Sunayani is concerned. Her worth is now measured solely by the work she does as Head of the Marketing Content team. Working remotely, she feels great about not having to use make-up, or to care what clothes she wears. Only the value she creates counts!
While producing daily marketing content such as ads and other communication, she feels the flexible work schedule also leaves her with time to pursue her passion for creative writing and poetry.

As mentioned above, remote work gives you the FREEDOM you were always seeking.
FREEDOM from commuting
FREEDOM from leaving your children alone or with a paid help at home
FREEDOM from 9-5 drudgery
FREEDOM from office cubicles and office politics
FREEDOM from choosing between family and work
FREEDOM from being limited by a small local job market – because remotely you can work with the entire world
FREEDOM from low pay and toxic bosses
Remote work has given control back to women.
Men will never understand what a game changer remote work has been for women.

If you ask our colleagues, you will find that none of them want to go back to a brick and mortar workplace, because they can no longer be comfortable in that limiting environment.
They have got used to the flexibility and comfort of remote work, and see no reason to return to their earlier routines.
Worldwide, thanks to the pandemic, remote work is here to stay.
According to this Times of India article
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/whats-the-future-of-remote-work-in-2023/,
“In 2023, the remote work landscape is expected to look much different... With the rise of virtual reality, 5G technology, and AI-powered software, professionals around the world will benefit from enhanced connectivity, improved security, and greater flexibility when it comes to working from home.”
We are looking forward to meeting you at the bootcamp. 😇
