Summary: Week 5

Every Sunday, I collate everything I have written over the week from Monday to Saturday. If you’ve been busy and haven’t been able to read this week’s articles, I hope one or more of these articles will interest you.


“Ask me about any topic and I’ll tell you something about it you don’t know…” | Monday, 27 Jan 2020

A story from a decade and a half ago capturing my personality as an overconfident kid just out of college. A job interview to remember, and an aftermatch even more memorable.


The thin line between confidence and arrogance | Tuesday, 28 Jan 2020

Overconfidence is an often maligned word. My previous mail reminded a reader about one of his own recent encounters with a client. Mostly verbatim email as shared by Ravi.


Product and/or Distribution | Wednesday, 29 Jan 2020

Presenting the idea that Product (what you sell) and Distribution (ways in which you sell the Product) are the two wheels on which your business runs. Driving home the point that focusing on one and ignoring the other is perilous to business continuity.


The Gentle Chinese Bamboo | Thursday, 30 Jan 2020

An oft-repeated parable of a farmer and his Chinese Bamboo farm, and how the lessons of that story apply to the entrepreneurial journey that you and I both are on.


Learning Magic to become a better Entrepreneur | Friday, 31 Jan 2020

My very passionate hobby and how it is helping me be better at life, work and entrepreneurship. Also, a request to give magic a shot as a hobby, and enjoy the therapeutic and transformational power it brings.


I hope you enjoyed some of these at least. Let me know which was your favorite, and which made no sense at all.

Yours,

Abhilash Purohit
