"You will have to work hard for your first 200 lacs, But for your next 10 Crore, your money shall work hard."
The Story of INDIA has just begun…. The breadth of opportunity INDIA presents today is unprecedented. INDIA ~ The Rising Superpower A must watch….
Tony Robbins once said, "You either master money, or, on some level, money masters you." and he couldn’t have been more right. Here are 7 signs money is mastering you: 1️⃣ You're trapped in the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle 2️⃣ Debt is controlling your life 3️⃣ You're neglecting…

The fact that every top performer knows about soft skills: Soft skills are the most desired skills for 91% of management jobs. If you want to be a top performer, you need to work on them. Here are 8 soft skills, why they matter and how to show them:
7 Things People Learn Too Late in Life . 1. Family matters more than friends. 2. Life isn't fair. 3. Beneath anger is always fear. 4. Happiness is a choice. 5. You played it too safe. 6. Everything is temporary. 7. The most significant risk is taking no risks.
The best quote on longterm #investing
The rich gets richer because the poor doubts every opportunity. The rich gets richer because the poor are busy showing off. The rich gets richer because the poor wants to remain in comfort zone. The rich gets richer because the poor wants to show he knows everything.
3 qualities one needs to make multibagger returns….. VISION to see COURAGE to buy PATIENCE to hold
Wealth is created by concentration and preserved by diversification.
The 4 Stages of Wealth: 1) Stability: - No debt - Bills are paid - Savings are funded 2) Strategy: - Investing - Money works for you 3) Security: - Enjoy your money - Travel - Eat good food 4) Freedom: - Money is not an issue - Quality of life trumps costs
"VALUE OF 10 GRAMS of GOLD 1955 ₹ 79 1960 ₹ 111 1970 ₹ 184 1980 ₹ 1330 1990 ₹ 3200 2000 ₹ 4400 2005 ₹ 7,000 2010 ₹18,500 2015 ₹26,343 2020 ₹48,651 2022 ₹56,100 2023 ₹63,000 2024 ₹67,500
Spending 45 mins - 60 mins exercising every day can be a life changer. 4% investment in workout / sports can make 96% of your life better. 30 min of research and focus (5 days a week) can change your portfolio fortune. Success comes from small steps you take !!!
Money is your tool for time freedom. Love is your tool for spiritual freedom. Exercise is your tool for health freedom.
