‘How’ limits you to your own knowledge, experience and capabilities. It requires you to engage your time, energy and attention into a particular task that may or may not matter. Worse, ‘how’ decreases your freedom of time.‘Who’, connects you with different knowledge, experiences and capabilities. ‘Who’ gets you desired results as effectively as possible. ‘Who’ immediately frees up hundreds of hours for you to put into stuff that really matters. Above all, ‘Who’ expands your vision for what’s possible, because you no longer see yourself as the sole entity of achieving the desired results.

The How Vs The Who

To succeed, you must put in the effort and become great at what you do. However, if you try to do everything yourself, you’ll end up diluting your energy/focus.The secret to true success and freedom is to focus your energy on the areas that leverage your strengths, creativity, and passions, so you can generate the greatest impact.

Go For Gold Using Your Focus And Energy

The “Who Not How” approach is not about exploiting others. It’s about building a collaborative network where each person can offer his/her unique strengths while leveraging others’ strengths.To find the right “Who”, you must:• Get clear on what you want.• Communicate your vision widely.• Ask “who can help me achieve this?”• Once you’ve found your Who, engage and support them to realize the shared vision.

The Who Approach Explained

Each of us has only 24 hours a day. How well you master your time determines how much you can accomplish. With the right “Whos”, you can focus on doing what you love and are great at, spend less time on the things you hate or are bad at, and tap on others strengths/resources. The outcome = exponentially better results, personal growth and less procrastination.

Gaining The Freedom Of Time

To really succeed and reach a higher level of performance, you have to shift from a How-mentality to a Who-mentality. By focusing on who you work with rather than trying to do everything yourself, you'll find your levels of achievement will rise at the same time as you get dramatically more freedom. It's a win-win situation.When you're thinking about a new project, or how to take your current project to the next level, think "Who Not How". Just this simple change of mindset can and will be a game-changer.

A Simple Change Of Mindset

Creating 10X or 100X results in your life and business may initially sound ridiculous, but it is fundamental to applying Who Not How. You need bigger goals. You need a bigger vision.  The only way to make your present better is by making your future bigger. Going 10X bigger in your vision, whether that be income or revenue or some other metric, forces you to get Whos involved, because the task at hand literally becomes impossible to do on your own. Those are the types of goals you need to start envisioning.

Creating 100X Results

Procrastination is the unfortunate by-product of asking ‘How’ instead of ‘Who?’ Most of the time when you’re procrastinating, you’re saying to yourself this goal is amazing, but you’re not the one to do everything necessary. There are countless brilliant and capable ‘Whos’ out there waiting and wanting to help you. But first, as a leader, you need to understand your vision well and clearly articulate it.

Killing Procrastination

To achieve the freedom of money, you must first achieve the freedom of time. And by achieving the freedom of time, you achieve the freedom of your mind and the privilege to focus on higher impact activities which automatically increase your income. Put it simply, improving how you spend your time increases your chances and ability to make money. And more often than not, what you need is the right ‘Who’ in a specific area of your life to eliminate decision fatigue in that area. Eliminating decision fatigue should be your primary goal if you want to achieve time and money freedom.

Time Creates Money

Extreme commitment comes from the clarity of vision and the autonomy to bring that vision to life in whatever way the Who sees fit. That’s why transformational leaders invest in their Whos. They challenge them, help them see the vision and ultimately get them committed as much as they do.

Committing To Specific Results

The belief that you can do all the Hows by yourself is rather a limiting belief. It’s not noble. It’s a scarcity mindset and cost avoidance. And trying to avoid costs by keeping it all on your shoulders only costs you in the long run.When you start to see Whos as an investment, rather than costs, you can 10X your results, develop transformational relationships and give more than you take. Better yet, when you start to see yourself as an investment, rather than a cost, you expand your freedom of time, money and energy.

Don't Avoid Costs, Spend To Avoid Problems

Never be afraid to say no to people and opportunities that don’t align with your vision and values. When you start to practice that and walk the talk, your team will become confident in you and your vision. And as you make even more courageous decisions based on the future you want to create, you make even bolder leaps toward your freedom and success.

Avoid Wrong Whos

It’s the collaboration, not ruinous competition, that gives birth to extraordinary results. You’ll never have all the answers, which is fine because you can always seek other people’s perspectives and solutions. Ask for help when you need it. People like to help. Why would you refuse to receive that exact same thing you give to others?

Start Collaborating

As you grow your Time and Money Freedoms, you’ll meet world-class mentors and collaborators who can bring you and your products/services to even greater heights. You’ll also have the flexibility to connect/partner with people you want to build relationships with.

The Freedom Of Relationships

With more Whos working on your goals, you’ll have more time to focus on the things that you’re good at. This allows you to increase your earning capacity and eventually attain the Freedom of Money (i.e. having enough money to solve most problems).

The Freedom Of Money

Each time you add a Who with complementary strengths/resources and fresh perspectives, you address your gaps/weaknesses, free up your time/energy for what matters most, expand your vision, and increase your freedom of time, money and relationships. You become truly free to pursue your dreams instead of getting stuck in the daily grind.

The Freedom Of Purpose

To really succeed and reach a higher level of performance, you have to shift from a How-mentality to a Who-mentality. By focusing on who you work with rather than trying to do everything yourself, you'll find your levels of achievement will rise at the same time as you get dramatically more freedom. It's a win-win situation.

Think and Grow Rich

Sticking to a budget can be quite hard the first time you try it, therefore before I show you how to develop a budget, let’s explore the budgeting habits that can make your adjustment to your budget a landslide.

Personal Budgeting Habits To Adopt

When a paycheck, birthday check, or any money at all arrives, that’s the moment it should be entered in your budget. Not before, and not too long after. Not only does this make paydays even more magical, this gets you in the right mindset to only budget the money you have.

Enter Money When It Arrives

Following up from the above, once money comes in, set up some automatic transfers or put some cash aside for YOU. Paying yourself first ensures that you have the financial security to make future-you very happy. Even small amounts will grow into something larger, which can eventually pay for that vacation, buy your dream car Or maybe it helps you buy a house one day? if anyone deserves your hard earned cash, it’s you.

Pay yourself first

Budgeting to zero means that when you create your budget, your income minus your expenses add up to zero. Income – expenses = $0Budgeting to zero gives you financial clarity, you give every dollar you earn a job, even if that job is savings or an extra loan payment. Budgeting to zero doesn’t mean you spend every dollar you earn. Neither does it mean that you’re stuck with your categories for the month. On the contrary, it is a great method to start a savings program by working your savings into your budget and to keep that budget flexible so it can change with whatever ball life throws at you.

Budget to zero

A common budget pitfall is when you use your budget as an expense tracker alone but you do not let it influence your spending habits.Check your budget before you pull out that debit card.On some days looking through your budget before you spend, you’ll get a resounding YES to spend that money, and other times you’ll get a NOT YET in response, and on others, you’ll realize that a new pair of jeans just wasn’t quite as important as your passing urge would have you believe. Think of your budget as an ever-present accountability partner.

Check the Budget Before Spending

These ideas state the money habits to develop that will help in creating and managing a budget.

The concept of a personal budget is most likely not new to you, however, not everyone has a positive attitude towards budgeting this is because a budget can sometimes be perceived as an instrument that limits financial freedom especially when it is aggressively created.  In reality, sticking to a properly prepared budget should improve the…

Exploring Personal Budgets as A tool for  Financial Freedom

All I needed was growth,I sought pleasure instead. In your arms I found comfort,You masked a pain that you could not heal.Whatever your reasons were, I thank you for the time we had.

Self-Destruct

I recognize my choice and flaws,I admit my weakness and my pride.It’s true you had me overfed with trifle pleasures,but I did not always have to eat from your seductive buffet.I see clearly now.The big red button across the room.We drop our dreams and ambitions outside its door,One push and a three-second jolt of electricity running through our brains.I watched Darcy, Victor, and Mia all go in, mindlessly.A vigorous punch and each time the sound was the same.

Now it’s time to grow,

I flee from you and am not turning back.It’s a difficult journey but I’m not coming back.My map is incomplete and my destination, I don’t know.but I’m not coming backI choose growth.I’ll keep choosing growth.This time, I won’t self-destruct.

Self-destruct! Self-destruct! Self-destruct!

This is a poem written by me about mistakes, learning and growth

All I needed was growth,I sought pleasure instead. In your arms I found comfort,You masked a pain that you could not heal.Whatever your reasons were, I thank you for the time we had. Now it's time to grow, I recognize my choice and flaws,I admit my weakness and my pride.It's true you had me overfed…

Walt Disney Quotes

It is not enough to while away this precious existence in transient actions which will vanish and regenerate... It is the responsibility of us to learn, and by learning dispassionately with devotion we get closer to the deepest knowledge of this existential realm. This is the ultimate goal; This is the ultimate action, and we have to do justice to our being by expanding our knowledge. Your wisdom consists not of the knowledge you already have, but the continual search for knowledge, which is the highest form of wisdom. There is nothing higher than knowledge.

What You Know Is Not Enough. 

We must not put any limitation to our knowledge by exploring only in single aspect of study and by prisoning ourself in ONE BOX all our life. Instead, We have to explore each and every discipline (multi disciplinary approach) and integrate our knowledge. Knowledge integration refers to the process of adding new ideas and sorting through connections to develop a cohesive account by which we can connect, relate and unify concepts in various realms. Many of the things we divide are in fact spectrums, they overlap and interconnect in more ways than we give credit.

Integrating Various Disciplines. 

Philosophy gives meaning to our life. My FoK philosophical approach is deeply rooted in pondering of ultimate knowledge. By learning various disciplines we develop our senses — especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”building atypical combinations of skills and knowledge across fields and then integrating them to create breakthrough ideas and synthesizing every discipline with which we can solve the mysteries of our life.

Philosophy Of Life. ( Flow Of Knowledge ). 

To understand the world in its full complexity required a kind of probing intelligence, willing to think across those different disciplines and scales.Every new chunk of knowledge can theoretically be combined with every other knowledge chunk. A drill which will lead to breakthrough's.In an environment of accelerating change, we’re going to have to become FoK's to survive.Being a FoK's will be the new normal, and FoK's who synthesize diverse disciplines to create breakthrough ideas and solve complex problems which will have a huge impact.

FoK 

What differs a polymath and FoK is his philosophy of being dispassionately devoted without any transient influences and his quest for ultimate knowledge. Reaching the ultimatum of intellectual horizons is the meaning ascribed to his life to justify his existence.

Knowledge is everything. 

Mise en place[mee-zahn-plos] is a french term that loosely translates to "put in its place"The term is the all encompassing lifestyle/mantra that is followed by all cooks and chefs in the restaurant industry.The term is coined by Georges Auguste Escoffier, who got his start in the french army. His goal was to make the standards of the kitchen more like that of the military with guidelines and practices.

Mise en place = put everything in place

Mise en place means working clean. Everything done with mise en place mindset is done to make your performance cleaner, consistent and organized. This starts by putting everything in place and start working backward. In the cooking world if you are trying to cook a specific meal for a specific amount of people. You need to have that information before you start.You need to plan for the ingredients you need to buy, make sure you have the utensils you need to cook with and properly estimate cooking time. Working backward allows you to make a checklist for the entire meal with end in mind.

What it teaches the upcoming chefs.

Mise en place as a mindset is making cooking the least of your worries. Because putting everything in your place is all about preparations. Working clean as a goal is 100% connected to how meticulously you've prepared every element that you need in order to cook the meal. It's not about just having the right ingredients.This emphasis on preparation and working clean when practiced forces you to pay attention to small details and can take your performance to the next level. Even though preparing and making checklist may seem boring it's the answer to avoiding mid-flight problems.

How to apply it even if you don't plan to cook a single day in your life.

Mise en place

By prayer, one's subtle powers are easily roused.

Prayer

The universe is a constant prayer. Words are not necessary. The feeling of want is the real prayer.

What good is it, if we acknowledge in our prayers that God is the Father of us all and in our daily lives do not treat every man as our brother?

Prayer and praise are the first means of growth.

The feeling of want is the real prayer, not the words. But you must have patience to wait and see if your prayers are answered.

Despondency is not religion, whatever else it may be. By being pleasant always and smiling, it takes you nearer to God, nearer than any prayer.

Mother is the first manifestation of power... She is the sum total of the energy in the universe... Established in the idea of Mother, we can do anything. She quickly answers prayer.

When a man prays to God, 'Give me this, and give me that,' it is not love. How can it be? I offer you a prayer, and you give me something in return; that is what it is, mere shop-keeping.

Is prayer a magic formula, by repeating which, even if you do not work hard, you gain miraculous results? No. All have to work hard; all have to reach the depths of that infinite Energy. Behind the poor, behind the rich, there is the same infinite Energy. It is not that one man works hard, and another by repeating a few words achieves results. The universe is a constant prayer. If you take prayer in this sense, I am with you. Words are not necessary. Better is silent prayer.

I would like to help people through the words in this book, as they helped me when I was young. This is the second chapter called 'Prayer' of the book 'Way to Success by Swami Vivekananda'  published in abridged form by Ramkrishna Mission ashram, rajkot.

In seeking comfort, we generally find a quiet corner in life where there is a minimum of conflict, and then we are afraid to step out of that seclusion.

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.

If we depend for our happiness on another, on society or on environment, they become essential to us; we cling to them, and any alteration of these we violently oppose because we depend upon them for our psychological security and comfort

Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings. Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.
