Unlocking Potential
Through possibility mindset. And how to scale your startup using RGT framework?
Growth Mindset Ideas
Possibility is wherever we look for it.
The idea of possibility for me is rooted in the belief that change and growth are constant and ubiquitous forces. I am a believer of People, Possibilities & Karma. Did you see my Twitter bio? ;)
At the heart of possibility, lies change, growth. No matter where we look, we can find opportunities to create, to learn, to connect, and to grow. It all comes down to the mindset we bring to our experiences and the choices we make in response to them. I started writing Rich Tales as monthly column later shifting it to weekly dispatch. Since then I’ve sent 100+ issues to more than 1680 my strong readers community.
At the heart of possibility is the willingness to embrace change and the courage to take risks. When we approach challenges with an open mind and a growth mindset, we unlock our full potential and discover new pathways to success. Rather than seeing obstacles as roadblocks, we view them as opportunities to learn and to grow. This mindset allows us to move beyond our comfort zones and tap into our innate creativity and resourcefulness. I left my successful corporate career from APAC to build new portfolio career in North America.
How to embrace change?
With a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around us. Being open to new experiences and willing to try new things.
By letting go of old habits and patterns of thinking that no longer serve us.
Seeing the world through a lens of hope and optimism.
With a mindset of possibility, we achieve incredible things and create a better future for ourselves and for those around us.
Possibility is wherever we look for it. #GrowthMindset
Life lessons that you can’t afford to ignore
How to scale your startup?
Garter popularized the Run-Grow-Transform (RGT) model . It is a framework for categorizing different activities within an organization. I've used it at Asian Paints to categorize projects my team would lead. However, startups can use it too. I often share this as a framework to choose projects at startup. Sometimes it also helps to see your finance allocation through this framework. A variation of which I also proposed here to help navigate choosing work that matters most to you .
Run: Includes the day-to-day operations of the organization, like managing finances, delivering products or services, and customer support. For startups, this may look like developing a MVP(Minimum Viable Product), fundraising, and getting customers. For finance, it is infrastructure cost to keep operations running. .
Grow: Includes activities that help the organization scale, like increasing sales, expanding to new markets, and developing new products or services. For startups, this may look like building a sales team, refining the product offering, and developing growth strategies to increase customer reach. For finance, it is expenses that will support market/product growth
Transform: Includes activities that drive innovation and change within the organization, such as developing new business models or disrupting existing markets. For startups, this may look like developing new technologies, pivoting to a new market or customer segment, and experimenting with product or customer engagement. For finance, spends that that will involve digital transformation, replacing existing infrastructure & operations.
RGT model is helpful framework for startups to categorize and prioritize activities as they grow beyond build stage. It helps ensure effective resources utilization and focusing on the activities that help scale.
