Ex IPS Officer & Founder, HabitStrong, Rajan Singh on building life changing habits
Description
Habits! Our habits make us who we are as a person. Since an early age we’ve been told by our parents and mentors, the distinction between a good and a bad habit.
But how often do we skip to the good one’s?
Specially as grown-ups, can you confidently say that you have the best habits in terms of -
1. Managing your finance & expenses
2. Managing your work life balance
3. Having a fruitful & fulfilling day
Something similar intrigued Rajan Singh, the guest of our today’s episode, to start HabitStrong in early 2020.
Prior to HabitStrong, Rajan served as a IPS officer, as a McKinsey consultant, and as an investment professional with a private equity fund.
HabitStrong started with him inviting people to join him on YouTube sharp at 5 am, for a 30-day challenge. And the next morning, he was surprised to see several people already waiting. Over the next few months, through several bootcamps, thousands of applicants and several hundreds of volunteers, HabitStrong was on its journey to positively create an impact in everyone’s life.
During the episode, Rajan talks about how people run after work, money and luxury lifestyle and how it can lead to a deterioration of mental peace over time, and much more.
