Hope you are healthy and working on your dreams,

So far, this is one of the most honest and brutal newsletters that comes directly from my heart.

I don’t know how to frame it from my brain so that you will understand, but here is the thing.

Please don’t get involved in a lot of things, which means multi-tasking. You might say, “I can work up to 2 AM; I am very energetic, I am very clever,” etc… but listen. I was the person who worked till 3 - 4 AM every day in every aspect, like marketing, dealing with international clients, and building things.

Yesterday, my friend got a fever and was on bed rest for one week. I was the only person taking care of our offline business, and yesterday, I worked like hell, honestly. Maybe most of you don’t know that I’ve taken the courier franchise because it might help the DeleMate app I’m working on.

So when I was bringing the deliveries or going with my delivery boy, and you better know how the people are here—who have gutka in their mouth and don’t know how to speak properly—at that minute, I just realized, “What the heck are you doing, Tarak?” You were the person who spoke to founders and some brilliant minds from all around the world, and I really had a feeling that I was stuck here and thought, “As soon as possible, I need to get rid of this, man.”

That moment was just an eye-opener for me. I am saying this because I failed to say NO back then, and now I’m paying the price.

I always say that you should learn how to say NO. You will get a lot more freedom and time to work on yourself by saying NO. Sometimes, I don’t have time to write this newsletter as well because back then, I was so ambitious and wanted to do some crazy stuff, and so I said YES to many things. Now I’m paying the price. Even my podcasts—I am not doing them properly because of the time.

It’s easy to be busy with a lot of stuff like me, and it’s easy to concentrate on one thing.

I said YES to some projects, so what I need to be productive is just to block my calendar and do focused work at that time. That’s the only solution that I found and am working on.

At first, it’s easy for me, but if things are working and getting in shape, you need to dedicate a lot of time here, and you don’t have that much time. So this is my personal experience—if you want to start something, then just go for it until you see it through.

The problem is this: I can work up to 3 AM every day, but I don’t have the energy to work. All my energy is draining down, and it’s really hard for me to be productive these days.

One of our subscribers asked me: “Tarak, what are you doing? You never actually told us.”

Here it is:

• I run Skale with AI – It’s a marketing agency where we help businesses bring more clients (we had a collaboration with a UK Real Estate Agent)
  🚫 Stopped this completely because of time
• I am developing an app called DeleMate, which is a peer-to-peer delivery app where users can earn money while traveling.
• I am working with a UK senior scientist to build a marketplace for a specific niche.
• I have a Courier Franchise.
• I do Podcasts and write Newsletters.
• BTW, I read books every day. 📚

You might think, wow, but when it comes to contributing to every project, it takes a lot of time, hard work, and dedication.

I think this is the first time that I revealed to everyone what I was doing. No one knows till now. I don’t know, but I feel it’s worth sharing with you since I believe there are people who are genuinely learning something from this newsletter.

I made the mistake of choosing too many things at one time; please don’t make this mistake. Otherwise, you will suffer like me—struggling to find time and energy.

Another thing I want to talk about is: “What do you really want?”

If you are clear about this, you are ahead of 99% of people.

Just ask yourself this question:
What do you really want?

• Is it Money?
• Is it a Good Relationship?
• Is it Happiness?
• Is it Social Status?

Every person is different, and they have different choices.

If you know what you really want, then you won’t chase unnecessary things, and you will be more clear and happier than ever before.

As I said, I was searching for this question: What do I really want? Is it money? Of course, money is important, but personally, for me, happiness and freedom come first.

I don’t want millions of dollars when I’m 60. I don’t even know if I’ll be alive at that age or not. But until I’m alive, I want to live happily with freedom, which means that no one should control my life.

If I want to go and live in a van for a month, I just go for it. 🚐 If I want to do something crazy, I’ll just do it. And I know—and I can feel from the bottom of my heart—that I’ll have financial freedom at some point in my life. (Since I have equity and I’m not an employee 🙂)

I thought, let’s see what it looks like if I work for money for six months, and I’m trying to be like that as much as possible, but I don’t know—I may quit. If I only wanted money, I’d be doing a job now that pays me more than a lakh per month.

I feel very happy, and I get a good feeling when I am writing this newsletter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t do this 😄, definitely. It’s not for the money—it’s for myself.

I have a lot of things to share, but I don’t know if it’s the right time to share them or not.

My 3 Favorite Quotes 💙

1️⃣ If you know where you are going, then you are ahead of most people since most people don’t know where they are headed.

2️⃣ If you can sit for 20 hours on one problem (the biggest problem in your life), I assure you—you will mostly solve it.

3️⃣ Showing up every day is always better than working fully on occasionally.
