Listen "Be Ready to Dedicate the next 10 years to your Business w/ Ragini Das (Co-Founder of Leap.Club)"

Episode Synopsis

What is it like to start your own venture? How do you handle the stress, late nights and 7 day weeks that go into building a startup?  @Ragini Das, who is a co-founder of leap.club, was founded 10 months ago. And she and her team are in the midst of answering these questions.  In our conversation, we dive deep into finding something you love, ways to prioritise and set your own objectives and how to deal with the inevitable burnout that comes with the midnight grind.   If you’re pondering the thought of starting something, and want a real look into what it takes, this podcast is for you.  
Cheat Sheet:
 1. Make sure to have time for yourself. Ragini takes 2 hours in the morning everyday for her own mental and physical health. For her it is exercise, watering her plants and listening to music. What would make you feel like you're on the front foot for the day? 
2. To build consistency, she wakes up around the same time every single day. It's 630am for her, but you can pick any time, just stick to it. Usually, this is best done by picking the best time to go to bed to make sure you are getting 8 hours of sleep - See Shayamal podcast
3. Ragini writes every single thing down. Reminders to drink water, calling loved ones and every single piece of work that needs to get done so it's not forgotten 
4. If you're going to start something, dedicate the next 10 years of your life to it. Starting with the hope of selling is a mistake.
