0 9000 If a startup is a vehicle to maximize your potential, let us first understand what potential is.
9000 18000 Potential is a force, a force that can do some work, create something, move something.
18000 27000 Potential has two components. It has magnitude and it has a direction. Potential is a vector quantity.
27000 36000 So it is not just about how much potential or force you possess, but also in what direction is that potential, that force applied.
36000 39000 The direction is also important.
39000 45000 Let us examine these two in detail, magnitude and direction.
45000 51000 And please remember that your objective is not listening to these sessions, your objective is contemplation.
51000 59000 So make a lot of notes and make time to keep everything else aside and think about them.
59000 64000 So what is potential with a high magnitude?
64000 71000 If your potential has a high magnitude, you have great depth to your thought process.
71000 79000 So whatever you do, you develop deep insights about that work or the problem that you are trying to solve.
79000 87000 A high magnitude of potential also means you have perspectives that are unique to you, to your thought process.
87000 95000 It is because you combine all your existing knowledge together in a certain manner to create a new compound that only you could have created.
95000 103000 It is like creating your own special theory of relativity about your work or the problem you are trying to solve.
103000 109000 And this could be done in absolutely anything that you do, no matter how routine or mundane it might be.
109000 117000 If you apply depth to your thought process, new insights are bound to surface.
117000 127000 So potential with a high magnitude is one that has depth of thought and can create new insights.
127000 131000 You should have potential with a high magnitude.
132000 140000 But in addition to its magnitude, potential also has a direction and the direction could be right or wrong.
140000 144000 It is this direction that determines your peace of mind.
144000 149000 If the direction of your potential is wrong, it is unlikely that you will be peaceful.
149000 155000 Financially successful, perhaps, peaceful, unlikely.
155000 163000 So potential with a high magnitude, but applied in a wrong direction, will be catastrophic.
163000 167000 A startup is a vehicle to maximize your potential.
167000 178000 Maximizing your potential means maximizing its magnitude and applying that magnitude in the right direction.
178000 185000 Alright, so we have seen so far that one, a startup is a vehicle to maximize your potential and your peace of mind.
185000 193000 And two, potential as a magnitude, which is depth of thought and a direction, which is right or wrong.
193000 198000 But how do you maximize your potential and your peace of mind?
198000 206000 To do that, you need a systematic framework that you can refer to from time to time, to check if you are on the right track.
206000 211000 Am I increasing my depth of thought? Am I generating new insights?
211000 216000 Am I doing all of this for the right purpose? Am I moving in the right direction?
216000 226000 Because if your thinking is muddled, you may make decisions that are not necessarily right for you, but because you see others make similar decisions.
226000 235000 You may do things not because they resonate well with you, but because that is the current trend, or because you wish to gain quick success of fame.
236000 240000 You need a framework that you can use to determine your plan of action.
240000 245000 We will use the Adios framework to help you do that.
