You gotta start!
Don't procastinate for perfection. Just get started with things. (Hence this Email / blog)
We end up procrastinating on a lot of things. One of the big reasons I’ve retrospected is the “Perfect Release” issue.
Releasing a perfect guitar cover
Starting a mailing series with a perfect mail
Writing the perfect travel blog
PS: In 2019, I built a product for 5 months (my first startup) without even releasing it to the public as I wanted it to be PERFECT! Kinda learned the hard way.
Don’t make it perfect right away. Take it to perfection later. (The famous 80-20 rule).
Hence am just gonna start with things (This weekly mailing series is one of them).
What to Expect from this
Some nice observations/tweets/book musings from my week
Music findings
Some InfluencerBit Updates (Startup am currently building)
Any Life updates
Might also share some of my song covers!
About Manifesting Luck
I was going through a few videos on applying to YC and in one of the videos, a guy talks about our job as a founder is to create Luck!
And, there is a systematic way to make good luck.
Set yourself up for as many circumstances to GET LUCKY as possible.
To maximize your luck and set yourself up for getting as much luck as possible. Ask that cute girl out for a coffee or ask your acquaintance for their connection which you need for your business.
Why we shifted to Bengaluru?
2 things → Schedule & People
Earlier we’ve all been working from our homes. The same place to eat, sleep and work! Although we had some nice workspace settings, the schedule wasn’t coming up.
Most of the time, I was oversleeping and was getting depressed for not reaching anywhere with InfluencerBit. There was no one else to get inspired from. No friends in my town from Startup / Tech space. Also, no dating apps work in my Tier-3 city and there are no bars/clubs and life was becoming super stagnant.
Also Google Meet cannot replace the in-person meeting with the co-founder. Especially in the early stages where you are still finding the PM fit.
All these things pointed us to move to Bangalore, get some nice Co-Working space and see.

After 20+ visits with Brokers, we took some nice flat in WhiteField. Finding a nice house on rent is such a hard problem and A LOT can be done there. If anyone is inventing something in this space, I’ll be more than happy to share my experiences.
