These are the mindsets you need to become successful in your career, even if you are not in the tech field these tips will help you.

So let's dive right into it.

Passion

The typical first piece of advice would be a passion, and it's true if you are not passionate about doing something you will not last long. It's like a relationship, you will have ups and downs but if you have true love you will not fail.

Tip - And failure doesn't count against you they will assist you in the longer run.

Don't get into web development just because someone learned it and become successful. Take your time and find out what you love.

Call to Action

Pick a skill and work on it for a month, if you love doing it continue else move on to the next skill and iterate the process.

In a year you would be the jack of 6-12 skills and you will get to know what you love doing then just one thing to do master that skill.

You have enough time it's just that we are fed with the false principle that you need to get placed asap.

Hardwork

There are 3 alternatives to hard work which Apoorv didn't mention in his video, first is hard work, second is hard work and third is hard work.

hahaha... there is no alternative to hard work and good skills are hard to acquire that is why you are spending time on it, if it was easy everyone would have learned it.
Valuable skills are hard to acquire but it's worth it.

Call to Action

The one and only (not cigarette 😂) HARDWORK

Strive For Excellence

Don't strive to become an average developer. Strive to be the best and there is nothing to stop you, it's you who is setting the bar for yourself.

And with the mindset that you can be the best of the best you need to pay the fee for that, which is hard work.

Call to Action

Jobs k piche matt bhago, Skills k piche bhago. Jobs saala jhakk marke aygi.

1. Make a mindset to strive for excellence.
2. Put in the required hard work.

Focus

Focus = Intensity x Time.
Therefore 25% intensity x 8hrs = 50% intensity x 4hrs.

Read Deep Work for more insights

With hard work make sure you are mentally present there, most of the time you are learning something and back of the mind you are thinking of something else.

Call to Action

1. Avoid multitasking - If you are eating make sure you are not watching some random YouTube video or watching T.V, be present there.
Do this for the same in every activity you do, after a month you will come back and Thank me

This is how you build laser focus easily it will not come overnight you need to work on that muscle just like you 💪 .

2. Meditation - When you wake up instead of checking your phone meditate for 10-20 minutes. Before learning something meditate for 10-15 minutes to get in a state where your mind is not like 150kmph.

3. Do it later list - While you are working keep a paper handy with you, anything comes to your mind (vo email reply dena h) write it on paper and tell yourself I will do it after I complete this task.

Persistence

Hard work + Focus + Everyday = fruits of compounding.
This will always pay off.

Measurable goals.

Have measurable goals and then track your progress daily.

4. One thing you will do today which will help you get closer to your goal.

Push Your Limits.

Type - 1: People who have fear of failing

Worried about getting a job, instead of worrying about getting skilled.
You start searching for web developer jobs and realize that there is a lot to learn to get a job and then you procrastinate.

Tell me this thing when you started to learn how to drive a car, you searched on youtube for how to become a pro driver? or How to drive in traffic? or How to overtake someone?

Fun Fact - When Apple rolled out swift in the first month itself they mentioned that 2 years minimum experience, funny right? it's to eliminate underconfident developers.

3. Get feedback.
4. Learn by doing, and improve what you built.

How to deal with pressure?

Businessman who doesn't know how to deal with worry die early

One grain at a time, one task at a time.
Just start, if you want to go to Mumbai you need to start your car then ask people "Bhai Mumbai ka rasta yhi h? "
If you pressurize yourself you start getting f*cked up.

goto last section Apoorv's video on should I drop out?

3. Don't start planning the whole year plan at one go just use my One Thing Framework.

If Apoorv with no one to guide him is here, why we can't be in the same place with him as our virtual mentor?

Where to go from here?
