How to Wake up Early

Hi, Welcome to Learn to Lead.

Congratulations,   "You are one step above to learn something new today for Your personal growth."


I always suggest in my writing, what is working for me.

Here, I discuss the habits that changed my life from the worst to the best.

Not only did it change me but it also changed my lifestyle as well.


Although some habits may seem ordinary,

"Practicing consistently them is a challenging, yet main key to achieving success."

So, Let's get started. 


Wake Up Early:


We have the brainpower, we have the Energy. But develop the habits for success.  

                                    - Warren Buffet


I know It's one of the hardest things in life to wake up early. 

But Once you make this as a habit, the benefits are enormous.

If you wake up early, You have more energy, You can accomplish big tasks in a short time.


Think about how many times we snoozed off the alarm and back to sleep again.

Which means we are not to set a proper timeline for sleeping.



How we can overcome this?

First, in our mind, we have to set proper bedtime.

Also, our dinner affects our sleeping cycle. So make sure you have dinner at least 3 hours before your sleep time 

The Easiest trick is We can wake up early if we sleep before at night.

And always sleep at the same time which makes you get sleep easily.


Because our body has an internal clock in itself to adjust the body behaviors and functions automatically, based on our regular activities.

This is why highly successful people always be more productive and active.


So if you sleep and wake at the proper time

which makes it easy for the body to wake up without alarm 

and also wake up before the alarm rings

I do experiment on myself. It's Helps me. So you can try.



I know it sounds simple. But, doing this, It's tough only in the initial days.

But, We need to practice these habits for at least a month. 

So the chances are getting higher that you always wake up earlier easily in your lifetime.

Time is limited. We can't create the time, but we can save our time.


If you win the morning, you win the day.

Finish all your tasks and achieve your goals easily.

Wish you all the best for Creating the wonderful habit

How much Money that you Need to Retired Today

Hi, Welcome to learn to lead

Here, You are going to learn what's Fire number, Inflation, how to calculate that
which factors need to consider before the calculation
and Finally know what's your fire number.

Let's start with - Fire number

Your Fire Number Calculation




What is the fire number?

Fire number is how much money that you need to live your entire life without doing any job. That's Your fire number.


The most common way to calculate the fire number is

Your Early expenses * 25 = Fire number

But here we are not added the inflation rate



Wait,
what is inflation?  

I Understood, Let's see...

You buy something for a certain amount for a certain quantity.

The next year you can't buy the same thing for the same price in the same quantity.
Yes, right?

So, The product price becomes higher and higher
and you get less and less every year.


Which means our currency loses value every year. That's called Inflation.


That's why everyone buy gold instead of saving currency, because the gold price will go higher.

I hope You understand now. In India the inflation rate is 7% on average every year.

Sofar, We need to add this inflation rate 7 with old 25.



Also we have big expenses in our life

like Children's Education, Marriage and Medical expenses Need to added

For that I add 1% extra every year which means 8 is more fine

So, I add (common calculation) 25 + (with Inflation Adjusted and Big expenses added) 8   =  33

Let's do the Calculation :

Like I said,

Your Entire last Year expenses * 33 = Your Fire number

Example :
                  For mine my last year expense is

                  7.5 lacks * 33 = 24,750,000 .

                   For me around 2.5 crore is my fire number

Stop Reading.

Open Your Calculator,

Multiply Your Yearly expense  with 33 and know your fire number now...

This is how much money that you need to retire today.

Comment your fire number below and let me know.


If you don't do tracking your last year expenses , Don't worry...

You can learn how I track my last year expenses in the upcoming post.

How I Started my YouTube Channel

Hi Everyone,

This article about how I started my youtube channel , what are the fears that i face before that, And How you can also do whatever the dream that you want  to achieved.

Let's Start,



My Dream:

I had a dream to start a YouTube channel for a very long time, 

and there, I want to share my own thoughts and learning with people.

This dream started when I was 22 (2018). That's when I developed a habit of reading books.


"Successful People Find out the way, Losers find out the Reasons." - Raja Karthikeyan


I want to give book reviews on my channel to share what I read. However, at the time, I was more concerned about showing my face to the public.

 Probably, most of the YouTubers faced these fears initially. As an introvert, I had a fear of putting my face on YouTube. However, I decided to post YouTube videos without showing my face.


Post my Video and Delete that:

I posted a book review video of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" with a voiceover behind the pictures playback, the first self-development book I ever read at that time.

 Within a week, that video gained 350 more views. An unknown viewer commented, "there is no volume in the video voiceover." 

It made me very shy and made me feel like I had done something wrong, so I deleted that video.


Again the Dream Sparks Me Dusting out in 2023:


Between 2018 and now, I've read a lot of books, and my perspective has changed. Financial awareness and personal development habits have increased, and I have a lot to share with people. 


"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." - Arthur Ashe


Now again, I have the spark to build my YouTube channel. So, I started...

It's okay, even if you've done something normal in the beginning. 

Even today, I have no direction on how to shape up my YouTube channel. 

Click here for my YouTube Channel link. Make sure to subscribe to receive my content in video format. 

I posted 2 unboxing videos and 1 real estate video. From those videos, I learned editing, how YouTube works, and I'm learning video editing and YouTube studio.

Our success is defined when we start to do things consistently.


I Achieved My Dream:


No matter what I posted in those videos, but after posting 2 videos with my face, 

I gained a lot of confidence. Sometimes I feel proud of myself for doing that. 

This is the dream I had in the past for posting my face on social media.



My Upcoming video snap of my channel


 Now I accomplished that. This feeling makes me awesome.


You also have to do that:


As a reader, I want you to do whatever long-term dream you hold that makes you afraid or you are just procrastinating. Make it done in 2024. 

Start by doing it, collect the knowledge and things to do that, even if it is starting a YouTube channel. Just say hi to everyone, introduce yourself, and say this is my first video on YouTube.

 Post it and share it with your friends. I recommend you to do that.


Because,


I was afraid before starting YouTube, I had a fear that if I do that, how people around me will tease and joke. This is the response that I anticipated.

 But what happened is exactly the opposite. 

Everyone encouraged me and subscribed to my channel. Still, I have very few subscribers, but most of them are people from my surroundings.

So don't overthink, don't think about what others think. Just start now, collect knowledge, spend some time learning how to do it. Just start. I assure you can become started to living your dream life.

After starting to work on your dream, please comment below, so others also get motivated to pursue their own dreams because of you.


"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." - Martin Luther King Jr.


Love you all. 

I wish you all the best, and may all your dreams come true one by one like this. 

Learn together and let's grow together. Share your valuable comments below. 

Thanks for reading. -Raja Karthikeyan

So that I can achieved most of my goals on time.

In our life we always wants to do a lot. But most of the wants are just dreams 

we never achieved the dreams,unless making it as a goals.


but when started to making goals for achieve something , then there is a chance of getting that

 unless we need to take some consistent action  we can't able to attain that. 

 

 For that we need to set and monitor our goals to become what become we want

 

 When I wanted to start writing goals and monitor that initially on that notebook

 but in case if Im in Travel I unable to take that note for track and review my goals

 

 So I search for online solution to do that wherever I be, I want to set monitor and review.

 surprisingly I find out the google tasks app.

 

 there I create Daily To-Do list, weekly Goals, Monthly and 3,month goals and yearly goals

 So It's become very easy to see all my upcoming goals in a single window 

 It's always guiding me to do the take action 

 

 And the added advantage is, we can add the deadline here under every task .

 so its remember to finish every task before the dead line

 and send the notification on daily basis what we have to finish today in the morning

 

 I used this app for last 2 years, its very helpful to me

 I finished lots of goals using this app

 and I shared to this my friends they also perished the usefulness without paying any money

 thanks to google.

 

 Using tasks app for using and also creating the YouTube video as well.

 

 Screenshot of my tasks goal setup and you can set the dates as a deadlines.

 Additional tip

 so you can always complete your important task in the day end

 make sure you finish all the tasks completed before you go to bed 

 its gives the motivation and satisfactions to finished the upcoming tasks on time.


Every weekend in spend seperate to review your weekly goals so you are not postponding and always focus on your goals.

Secret tactics to Stop your Bad Habits

Hi, Welcome to Learn to Lead.

In this Article, I share About... How to stop the habits that we don't like


Over a phase,We are all want to stop some bad habits that we have.

Even we try to stop that we fail,

So Again we started doing the activities that we don't like.

But how is that possible to stop bad habits?


Your Thoughts leads to actions,

Your Action leads to habits,

Your Habits leads to success.

                                      - Mahatma Gandhi


Doing bad things makes drain our energy, also reduce our self confidence.

Let's see how we can stop this bad habits...

First, you have to believe you can stop the bad habit.

Second, you will definitely change your thinking patterns from bad habits to good habits.


It's all start about how you think.

If you change your thinking it's makes changes in your habits, 

Focus on your thinking to what you want to achieve in your life.



While we try to quit our bad habits, in the beginning it's feels like hard to stop the habit permanently.

when we feel demotivated and tired we do the same bad habits again.

But always think like you already overcome the bad habit in your life.


There is no place for the bad habit in your life never again.

This type of thinking will give the confidence to over come the bad habit easily

I personally use this tactic recently for quite some of life time bad habits 


So the solution is, we must replace the bad habits into a new good habits.

Make list of your bad habits

On the other side you should write on the good habits

Take action on the good habits regularly and give reward yourself for doing that continously.

like go and eat on your favourite restaurant. Go outing to your favourite places 

 whenver your thought hit your bad habit activities, you must to replace that thought you have more power than thought ,and you have to divert your thought to feel energized & motivated.


Everyone have the brain power,

Everyone have the energy,

But Develop the habits for success.
