Sunday Coffee ☕️ #0049
☀️ Good morning
At the age of 27, I finally learnt how to brush properly.
Turns out, there's a lot of other things in life other than proper dental care where I hadn't got the basics right - cutting my nails, skin care, hair care, warmup before exercise.
Heck, it took me 7 years of pushups until I finally started doing it right (courtesy Sankalp's tip that I should squeeze my glutes like I'm trying to hold a fart in order to maintain a straight back).
In light of all these discoveries, I’ve started reevaluating almost every aspect of my life by asking this simple question — “Am I doing an activity in a particular way because that’s how I’ve always done it, or is it because it’s the correct way to do it?”
As it happens so often, a lot of fundamental thought processes (mental models) can be applied across life and work. At DelightChat, we have been asking ourselves if we got the basics right.
I thought I knew the basic fundamentals of building a business, but my definition lacked a key point.
Dive in to learn about point #2. It's so important that we would have approached DelightChat in an entirely different way if we knew this 8 months ago.
