These 10 rules will change your life today… (I guarantee it):

Don't Neglect Your Health

To be at your best, you need to take care of your mind, body, and soul.

Every day I:
• Do a mindfulness meditation
• Stretch
• Lift
• Eat healthily

The best investment you will ever make is your own health.

Cut Toxic People Fast

Beware of energy vampires.

They suck the life out of you and hold you back.

Experiences > Things

We're all going to die.

You can't bring things to your grave.

Over the past 6 months, I traveled to:
• The Grand Canyon
• Costa Rica and went surfing
• Sedona and hiked the Red Rocks

Take a "mental vacation" every 6 weeks.

You deserve it.

Focus on The Process

Fall in love with the journey.

We all have our ups and downs.

The path to success is a marathon. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

The goal isn't just to get there.

It's to have fun along the way.

Mckinsey makes millions on a single presentation.....yeah👀

Here is the central business storytelling framework I learned in my 4 yrs there🧵👇

First, why should you care?

If you closely observe, most people do academia-style communication.

They stream details(situation, complications, etc) first and then slowly build up the conclusion.

And it works ...

but not when you have to be persuasive and sell your ideas.

A consultant at Mckinsey, Barbara Minto, realized this anomaly in the 60s and capitalized on it.

She built a framework that would change the course of the firm.

Eg- Mckinsey currently boasts a roster of 90 of the top 100 companies in the world.

Quick aside to acknowledge that Barbara Minto is a badass

- one of the first Harvard female MBAs

- and the first female Mckinsey consultant

What she proposed was so influential - other consulting firms also adopted her principles.

The framework is also a secret weapon....

It makes consultants appear sharp = accelerates their growth.

eg- many top CEOs are ex-Mckinsey.

Sundar Pichai - Google
Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook
James Gorman - Morgan Stanley

CEOs at Vodafone, Boeing, Footlocker, LEGO, Grammarly, Best Buy.

I went from "shyest man alive" to speaking on stage.

If you're a man struggling with confidence, read this:

I was arguably the shyest man alive.

I feared rejection
I rarely spoke up
I barely made new friends or approached women

People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

Today I've realized the root of why I was so shy (you may have a huge epiphany moment reading this)...

As humans, we have a strong instinct to be liked by the people around us.

You see, 2000 years ago roaming the earth in tribes, you NEEDED to be liked or else you'd get kicked from your tribe, and face the mountain lions, disease, & conditions by yourself (basically meant death).

My route to achieve this human instinct - to be liked, was speak as little as possible.

Other people take a different route - speak as much as possible.

But at the end of the day, we are all aiming to be liked.

Now, I knew the root cause... how did I overcome this lack of confidence?

1st - you must accept shyness does not serve you.

Once you fully accept this and are open to change, there are 7 keys I identified that helped me become confident.

Here are the 7 keys to confidence:

McKinsey makes $500,000+ on a single presentation.

You can learn their simple framework below (for free):

The secret? Story, flow, and structured arguments.

Every fresh analyst is taught this blueprint:
• Introduction & context on one slide
• Always lead with the conclusion
• Pyramid argument structure
• Title storyline & slide flow

Let's break it down, so you can apply it too:

Set the stage by using the SCQA framework.

Situation: what's the current state?
Complication: what needs to change?
Question: how can you solve the complication?
Answer: this one deserves it's own slide, up next.

This tells your audience WHY they should read on.

Example:

Next, lead with your answer.

Put your conclusion out there, and let people digest it.

Explain WHY this is the answer later on.

Example:

Break down your answer using the Pyramid principle

• Back your conclusion with 3-5 key arguments
• Support your arguments with findings & data
• 1 argument per slide, drive your point home
• Nothing overlaps, nothing is missing
• "Nice to haves" go in the appendix

Example:

and it still has files on it. the newest date is January 1994.

It's a 21mb hard drive, with ~37k of bad sectors.

This fucker is never going to spin up again, so I better go find some serial cables and copy shit off now.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.

She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.

At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".

EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.

Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.
