Hey guys, recently I had this moment while watching a documentary, and it really hit me. Itโ€™s like, if we just zoom out for a second, what I noticed where most people struggle is not because they arenโ€™t talented or innovative. Itโ€™s because theyโ€™re not following the trend. Think about itโ€”being good is great, but are you trending? Thatโ€™s the key. Imagine there are people lined up, waiting outside for you to sell your product. Thatโ€™s what being โ€œtrendingโ€ really means. It's like, right now AI is trending, right? So if you create something related to AI but with your own twist, people will actually want to buy from you. The thing is, itโ€™s not just about being original; itโ€™s about understanding what people are actually looking for, what they need. I also heard something recently that stuck with meโ€”every great product has competitors, but that doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re copies. Itโ€™s just that multiple products can have similar functions, yet each one brings something unique to the table. So when people ask if somethingโ€™s a copy, the answer is no. Itโ€™s just part of the trend, and thatโ€™s how things evolve. But let me tell you one thingโ€”following the trend is crucial, but donโ€™t jump into a "Red Sea," meaning donโ€™t enter a market thatโ€™s overly saturated where millions are already waiting to compete. Instead, find your "Blue Sea," where you can stand out and offer something slightly different. Hereโ€™s the reality: a lot of us are so caught up in work, in running our businesses, that we donโ€™t spend enough time learning new things. Thatโ€™s one of the biggest problems. If youโ€™ve got some free time, take an hourโ€”learn something new, expand your knowledge. Thatโ€™s how you stay ahead. Now, let me give you a quick example: letโ€™s say thereโ€™s a guy named Ram. Ram has a product that no one else is offering. It might seem risky at first, but the question is, does Ramโ€™s product solve a real problem? If yes, then heโ€™s on the right track, even if it takes a bit more time to get traction. When I work with someone and they ask if their product is good, I call in my networkโ€”salespeople, other business folksโ€”to get feedback. They give me the real deal, and I adjust based on that. Itโ€™s part of the processโ€”knowing if your product will work in the market. A lot of companies have come and gone, like those from the 90s during the dot-com bubble crash. But today, itโ€™s all about keeping up with trends. And right now, AI is that trend. So, if you know AI is the future, what are you doing about it? People like me and others are already working on it. Itโ€™s about being ahead, not just waiting around. So, donโ€™t ignore whatโ€™s happening around you. Follow the trends, be smart about your moves, and never stop learning. That's what I wanted to share todayโ€”hope it resonates with you. ~ Kadam

If you have to convince people your product is useful, itโ€™s probably not. Real value doesnโ€™t need a sales pitchโ€”it speaks for itself. If people arenโ€™t getting it, the problem isnโ€™t their understanding, itโ€™s your product. Fix that first.

The hardest part of business isnโ€™t building the product but sales and marketing. And itโ€™s true. You might have an amazing idea, a solid product, even a great team. But if people donโ€™t hear about it, or if you canโ€™t convince them why it matters, i

๐Ÿ”ฅMost Ads Are Dead Before They Even Launch. Honestly, theyโ€™re forgettable. They launch, people scroll, andโ€ฆ nothing happens. The problem isnโ€™t the product. Itโ€™s that the ad is playing it safe. Safe ads donโ€™t spark curiosity, donโ€™t make people talk

Very few people realize the power of trends. You can either follow trends or set them. Following them is easier, but setting them is much harder. If you're writing about a certain topic that is outdated, the amount of traction you will get from it

People donโ€™t just buy products; they buy status. If something is sold cheaply in a regular place, most wonโ€™t care. But brand it, sell it in a premium store at a higher price, and suddenly, everyone wants it. Itโ€™s not just about the productโ€”itโ€™s about
