Figuring Out with Raj Shamani

Want to make yourself "able" enough to cut through the competition? Here are 5 skills that have helped me chase my dreams:

1. Ability to sell.

If you are not selling, you are not growing. At the end of the day, no matter what you do, whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or a doctor, you NEED to sell something to someone.

2. Ability to learn.

At every point in your life, you need to have this itch learn something new because unless you’re learning, growing, and upgrading yourself, you won’t be able to achieve the maximum potential.

3. Ability to manage money.

Educate yourself on how you can have your money make more money by investing money wisely. While money cannot buy happiness, it can surely allow you to fulfil your dreams.

4. Ability to communicate.
At this moment where everything is happening virtually, you need to become a communicator. Communication skills will help you to deliver your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively.

5. Ability to think strategically.

With so many options around us, it's important that you learn how to make conscious and efficient choices. Strategic thinking skills will help you "think" better.

If you found this even a bit valuable, please leave me positive comments and share it with as many people as you can and I promise to bring value for you every day.

I grew my Instagram family from 11k to 124k in 6 months. And here's the strategy I applied so you can copy for your account:

1. Drop your two cents everywhere.

Go to the profiles of mega or macro-influencers in your niche and check the comments of their post. Reply comments of others with the insightful response that can add value. Most of them will check your profile and become a follower because you provided them with value.

2. Respond, respond, respond.

Reply to every comment and every DM possible. If someone reaches out for advice, try your best that they don't leave without getting answers. This is how you build long-lasting relations with your community.

3. Make content in every format possible - consistently.

Instagram alone has various content points to post different content formats - Text in form of captions, image & video posts, IGTV, Stories and now Reels - Make use of every format option so people can consume content however they like. And remember, consistency is STILL the key.
