GET EPIC SHIT DONE!
My second book launches for pre-order today (and starts shipping Dec 17th 2022).
It is called GET EPIC SHIT DONE.
When I was a college student, there used to be this book containing answers to the last 10 years’ question papers.
We used to call it a kunji in Delhi.
That book helped me immensely, to prepare for my exams.
In my second book, I have attempted to create the same book for life.
Written as a conversation between a student and a teacher, GET EPIC SHIT DONE answers 36 life questions that you face almost everyday, questions that you need answers to.
I have personally signed 20,000 copies as part of this pre-order, so order now to get a signed copy of GET EPIC SHIT DONE!

RESPONSES TO LAST WEEK'S QUESTION
Last week I asked you:
How much total money did you make in the past 12 months?
Here are the responses:
Observations:
- Observe the medians - those are the most likely outcomes for the group (the averages are clouded by the max earning people).
-
Which means, if you are in the following salary ranges, you represent MOST of what the world gets:
- 23-30yrs: Between 4.5L-8L
- 31-40yrs: Between 19L-35L
- 40+ yrs: Between 37-64L
- I share the max not to create FOMO but to tell you HOW FAR AWAY the max is from the average, clearly establishing that the max is never the normal. It is a very small section of society. Do not compare yourself with them and make yourself miserable.
My response?
I earned 48L in the last 12 months as a salary (from my own company). I do not take any other money from the company.
PICTURE OF THE WEEK
On Saturday I attended 2 events in Mumbai - the Spotify Creator Day and the India Today Conclave. Had a lot of fun at both - they were so different from each other in their content, vibe and audience. Clearly my outfit reflected the tonality of the event :))

7 lessons for your career 1/ If people can't trust you, it doesn't matter how smart you are. 2/ Write your emails assuming everybody will read them. 3/ Don't be in a hurry to create impact. Be in a hurry to learn. 4/ Early in your career, pick a job where you learn the most, regardless of the money. Learning compounds faster than money! 5/ Never trust your memory. Write everything down. 6/ A great way to set yourself up for success is to do more after you are finished doing what you were told...
Do you have the right tools? Sometimes, I get these cute DMs: "Ankur, your pics are looking awesome. Which phone do you use?" "Ankur, your videos are so sharp. Which camera do you use?" "Your voice sounds so clear and deep. Which mic do you use?" "You have been meditating for so long without fail, which app do you use?" Makes me smile :)) It's the equivalent of me asking someone, "Your book was wonderful. Which pen did you use?" A lot of us are stuck in the wait for the right tools. The right...
I had to ask! When I met my current wife, Ruchi, at the age of 19 while in college, she was way out of my league! I was the super geeky and serious kid.I had strong notions about what is right and wrong.I was too uptight.I would even call myself sad at that point.Too serious. And took myself too seriously. She, on the other hand, was the Shahrukh Khan in everybody’s life.Happy and going with the flow :))Forever smiling.Everyone adored her.Her happiness made everyone else happy around her. We...
