Are you thinking about starting a business?
Some might think you should begin by incorporating a company, building a website, purchasing equipment, getting insurance, working on your pricing strategy, making some ads, and setting everything up.
Wrong.
Your first step is to go out and find 20 potential customers willing to pay for your product or service.
Once you have secured at least five paying customers who commit with cash deposits, invest in the tools, deliver the product or service and collect the remaining balance for the completed job. Then repeat the process.
If you’re not starting this way, you’re wasting your time.
Remember:
If people truly need what you’re offering, they’ll pay you today to solve their problem.
If you can’t get the money, you’re not solving a real problem. It’s time to reevaluate your business idea and try again.

@vinodchendhil Every business owner must strive to build a negative working capital business !
English
If you can build a business on a negative working capital then you will have built a top 1% brand and sleep like a baby.

@prakdadlani There is no punishment for being slow. That’s the problem.

Probably the biggest invisible bottleneck in Indian manufacturing isn't technology, capital, or even skills.
It's time lags.
The time from sending an RFQ to getting a simple quote.
The multiple reminders needed to get a response to a simple question.
The endless delays in supplies that should arrive in days stretching into weeks....
These add up.
They slow down projects, kill momentum, and quietly erode competitiveness.
Some are due to mindset.
Some due to old habits.
Some are weak systems.
And yes, some are genuinely out of our control.
If we can plug these time leaks, respond faster, follow up better, and build tighter processes
Swadeshi manufacturing won't just grow, we will fast forward.
Atmanirbhar Bharat needs speed as much as it needs scale.

Very true and hard realisation you get, especially after meeting Indian businesses in Tier 2 cities .
Kawaljeet Singh@kawal279
The ultimate realisation I get when I get to meet small business/ self employed people is that majority of them do not want to work. They will not answer calls They will keep delaying giving rate quotes They will delay timelines committed They will blame on other vendors, workers instead of taking the responsibility themselves Full vicious circle vibes

Many people buy a home for acceptance and validation within society. It’s the wrong reason to buy.
The recognition is temporary but the responsibility is permanent.

@Dhavalsingh7 @WisprFlow Add Text to speech model on Slack so others can also just listen instead of reading ! 😅
Whoa just realising we just invented audionotes 🤣
English
I don't think I should be using @WisprFlow for sending medium to large Slack messages, because while thinking and speaking I'm way too verbose. The burden of reading all of that is on multiple readers, which is not good, I think.

@beingblunt123 @priteshlakhani An anonymous account who doesn't have courage to post their opinions through their real Identity is calling a $300B company coward . What an irony !
English
@patokekar @priteshlakhani That's exactly why they are cowards
English
A company that fires people at 6am over email will one day have its own managers fired at 4am over a text. The cowardice compounds.
English
@priteshlakhani Have you ever thought why they do it in this manner ? It is because they need to protect against disgruntled employees security risks , they are publicly traded & hence have market risk , next union or regulatory risks as well .
But they are not your level so you won't know
English
@patokekar You don’t do it at 6.00am. They contributed in company’s journey. They deserved respect.
I wanted to say more than coward but then i wouldn’t stoop down to their level.
English
@NischalShetty I should tag him @jimmysong . Received dm from your Telegram .
English
@patokekar Yeah good accounts are sending, accounts where you’ve had previous convos
English
On telegram, hackers are taking over legit accounts and then sending calendly link with message that says “long time no see. Let’s catch up. Here’s my calendly”
The links are legit calendly links. I’m not sure what the attack vector here is but better to be careful ✌️
English
Btw I hate using AI for product images, we have never done that. Will never do it. That’s one of the only thing left that shows your authenticity.
English
Guys, Mlada is a luxury brand.
Viraj Sheth@viraj_sheth
next prediction: luxury brands are going to take the biggest stance against AI generated visuals. instead they will go out of their way to hire real photographers, real models, real craft. and they will make sure you know every frame was made by human hands.

Affirmations work 💯.
There a cool video on this by scott adams on YT check it out.

Best time to create ! Create anything , app , website , video , music , drawing !
Just do it !

@toddsaunders As I said earlier - Biggest hurdle for AI adoption to make humans more efficient are Humans ! 😅 We don’t change man , not that easily !
English
This is 100% right.
We have this collective hallucination that enterprises are clean digital organizations... they are not.
They are years of duct tape with mainframes talking to spreadsheets talking to someone's email inbox.
If I remember my history class correctly, electricity existed for 30 years before factories were redesigned to use it. They literally kept the old steam engine layout and just swapped in electric motors. It took a generational turnover before someone said "wait, we can redesign the entire floor plan now."
I think this is exactly where we are with AI.

We dramatically underestimate how much change management it is going to take to automate most knowledge worker tasks. Between data being in legacy environments or systems or without good APIs, context missing for doing the task, teams that are less technical, and other factors, there’s still a lot of work to drive real AI transformation in an enterprise. This is actually great news if you’re building right now because the opportunity is to build the software bridges to make this easier, or to build new services firms to help with this change management. Opportunity is all around for those looking.

The biggest threat to Instagram’s moat is an incredible image model.

The state of AI literacy in our country is so pathetic
