Super duper awesome. Great to have you in this episode. And if you want to make 2024 your best year ever, this is going to be the podcast for you. But I want to be sharing four different concepts. A concept called reflection. Second concept is subtraction. Third concept is multiplication. And fourth concept is rotation. If you apply these four ideas, you can get more done in less time and you can make this year your best year ever. And you'll get a lot more accomplished this year as compared to the previous year. And if you really wanted to achieve that and make that happen for yourself, take a lot of notes and let's get straight in. Let's get to the first concept, reflection. The first thing I want you to do is reflect on all the events that have happened in the last one year. Open up your calendar, open up your phone, look at the photo library. Just go and look at where all did you go, what all did you do? Who all did you meet? And then start to analyze. What are the things that worked for you in the previous year? What are the things that did not work for you? What were the good decisions that you made? What were the bad decisions that you made that really did not, you know, plan or work out the way that you had already, that you had planned? And then what you should, you should do, ideally, is generate insights from this. This is what I did. I just looked at all the things that happened last year, and then I was able to generate a few insights. Now, what are insights? Insights are.
Things that can be brought into a decision based on all the data that you have. Okay. It's like you're analyzing data and making a decision. So the insights that I got from the last year is like, there were many things that worked, so I'm going to do more of that. Things that did not work, I'm going to stop that. So when you generate insights, when you reflect, that will actually set the tone for the next year. It'll help you get clear on what's working and what's not working. Now let's come to the second part, which is subtraction. You can only multiply your results by subtracting all the crap from your life.
What do I mean by that? Before you go on to adding More things to your list to do. You need to first look at the three P's if you want to get more done. Number one is, what are the projects that did not serve you? So subtract that. Who are the people that did not add value to your life? Remove them from your life. Don't be rude. But I'm just saying, in my case, I observed that there were some team members who are not adding much value, so I had to ask them to step off. There were a few vendors who are not performing as I had planned, so they had to step off. So I started to do an internal cleaning of people who are supporting me but who are not very efficient so that I can, you know, realign myself and my business. So the second thing is subtraction. And number three is the third P is patterns. What are the patterns that are not serving you? For example, if you are somebody who is waking up late every single morning and you're not getting good sleep or whatever, and that's becoming a pattern, how can you break that pattern? How can you subtract that pattern and make that into a better pattern where you're waking up early, waking up fresh, and so to wake up early, you got to sleep early. So maybe the pattern there is you're watching your phone too much, you know, just before you go to sleep, so you're not getting sleep. So maybe that pattern can be subtracted from your life so that it actually impacts you waking up early to get more done and be more productive. I hope this makes sense. So that's how I would like all of you to know this whole concept of subtraction. Now let's come to the concept of multiplication. Multiplication. There are five areas that you can multiply. Energy, time, knowledge, skills, and money. How can you multiply your energy? By eating the right food, by having the right information inputs in your head that give you energy by being a part of a community. If you're not a part of the interlife cell hub, I would highly recommend that you join our community. You'll always be energized to do more and to. And. And it's not just because of the knowledge here. It's because of the people. Second is how you can multiply your time. How you can. How you. How you can automate, delegate, systemize. Like, I've got so many webinars running all the time and people are just buying my products, and I've multiplied my time even through these podcasts and multiplying my time through videos, multiplying my time through Courses and stu, how can you multiply your knowledge? Maybe listen to podcasts on the go, listen to YouTube videos, you know, really get into focus learning. If you're in my community, just focus on the learning path, implementation path that I've given you. How can you multiply your skills? Maybe look at all the skills that are lacking in you right now and put that on your calendar. Maybe learn a tool, learn a particular skill, Go and practice that and build those skills. And finally, how you can multiply your money. Yeah. With whatever you're earning. How can you reinvest that back into some kind of multiplication models like putting it into sips, investing in silver, investing in gold. How can you multiply your wealth? If you actually put your mind to this, you'll be able to find so many ways where you can multiply your energy, time, knowledge, skills and money. And finally, the fourth concept is rotation, or how can you put things into cycles? How can you. And there are again five areas under this. Relaxation time, business time, family time, personal time, spiritual time. How can you cycle? How can you put into cycles your relaxation time? Maybe you do one vacation every six months, one staycation every single month. A staycation is where you go and just stay in a five star hotel in your own city just to plan the next month.
Business time. Under business, there are three categories. Creation, conversion and community. What can you do to create content? Like what I'm doing right now? Podcast, I have a cycle. You know, plan on how I want to roll out a podcast. Whether it's a podcast or a YouTube video, I have a content creation schedule. Even on my Instagram, I have a reel that's happening every alternate day. Conversion. What am I doing to sell my products through webinars, through automated webinars? And then what am I doing to nurture my community? Again, I have a cyclical model. Every week on Thursday we have inner circle call. Every Tuesday I have hackathon. And then the third area is family business. I mean family time. What can you do to connect with your family? Personal time. What can you do to put into a cycle the hobbies that you like and spiritual time for your inner reflection. What can you do on a daily basis to declutter your inner space? What about meditation, puja japa? Whatever process that you follow based on the religion that you're following or even the non religious spirituality, you can actually put that into cycles. So when you're able to apply these four concepts, reflection, subtraction, multiplication and rotation, this year will be your best year. Now the only question Is are you going to really do it? Many people like to listen to these podcasts, but most of them do not implement the knowledge. It all comes down to implementation.
