Summary of Key Wellness Strategies, self-care techniques, and Productivity Tips from "BE HUNGRY & ANGRY: VP Sathi Senathirajah"
- Mindset & Motivation:
- Cultivate hunger and anger as driving forces:
- Be hungry for success and material goals (e.g., luxury cars, better lifestyle).
- Be angry with yourself if you are not progressing, especially if your family depends on you.
- Embrace rejection and criticism as part of the journey; let laughter and negativity fuel your determination.
- Adopt a mindset of persistence: keep “drawing circles” (showing the business plan) despite obstacles and negative feedback.
- Understand the concept of a comfort zone:
- Comfort zones prevent growth because there’s no urgency or pressure to improve.
- Push yourself daily to move from “nice” to “nicer” — always aim for bigger dreams and better results.
- Visualize and dream big to expand your “aquarium” (capacity to grow):
- Your business and success grow in proportion to the size of your dreams.
- Set ambitious goals (e.g., expanding into large markets like India and China).
- Cultivate hunger and anger as driving forces:
- Productivity & Business Growth:
- Consistency and volume in effort are key:
- Show the business plan frequently (aim for multiple presentations daily).
- Don’t judge prospects by their current status; everyone is a potential client or partner.
- Keep prospects on your list even if they initially say no; follow up periodically.
- Work hard intensively for a short period (e.g., 5 years) to enjoy long-term rewards (e.g., 40 years of “party” or financial freedom).
- Avoid excuses about time or family responsibilities; prioritize your business activities.
- Use everyday interactions (e.g., at weddings, with mechanics, barbers, or on flights) as opportunities to present your plan.
- Focus on making money quickly to gain family support and prove the business’s legitimacy.
- Consistency and volume in effort are key:
- Emotional Resilience & Self-Care:
- Don’t take rejection personally; maintain emotional detachment from negative responses.
- Use setbacks (e.g., negative news, family conflicts) as motivation rather than reasons to quit.
- Keep your dream alive to cure “laziness” and complacency.
- Remember the personal reasons behind your drive (e.g., wanting to provide healthcare for a sick parent) to stay emotionally connected and motivated.
- Practical Tips:
- Track and expand your contact list without filtering out people based on assumptions.
- Treat each “no” as a step closer to a “yes.”
- Visualize your progress through tangible milestones (e.g., upgrading cars from Honda to Mercedes to Ferrari as symbols of success).
- Develop a thick skin; if no one is laughing at you, you may not be pushing hard enough.
