Advice for
teenagers on how to save money.
I would say, learn to make
money and invest instead of thinking about how to save money. Because, if you
save money, you lose money.
You need to invest in the
right places because, with rising costs, if you continue to save money, you
will lose it.
The best tip is to find out
how much do you earn per month, be it your income, salary or pocket money from
your parents.
Raj Shamani as a
businessman and as a creator
Both as a content creator and
entrepreneur, I have two things in mind. With the expertise I have in the
business world, I have started advising beginners and young people who are
ready to make a fuss. The next step for me is to invest in the right startup,
in my favourite field and help them so that this startup increases from X to 10X
to 100X.
To help such startups with the
right kind of mindset and access and distribution, I have built myself, and the money they need during the process.
My plan is to invest, time and
effort in such an investment in the business world.
And, as a content creator, my
goal is to bring the real side of business and entrepreneurship to the world.
Everyone feels that the world of entrepreneurship is glorious and is a piece of
cake. For them, I started voting weekly to show how we live and what I do every
day, how I do my business, form my own team, how I change from old Raj to new
Raj - being a business just content creator for entrepreneurs and now an investor.
1. Dream unrealistically,
execute realistically.

Anything which can be done under a minute do it then and there. Don't leave it pending.
10. Your actual purpose is the one that makes you want to get out of the bed.
11. Only people who are uncomfortable make it big in life.
12. Smart people fail harder because their ego makes them believe that they know the best way, which doesn't allow them to adapt.
13. If we want our career, relationship, nation & politics to get better, we should start discussing what's good for us instead of debating who's better.
14. Chotte chotte game jeet ne par focus karo, bada apne aap jeet jaoge.
15. People are so loud about how perfect their life is on social media, that the most people feel ashamed to talk about how imperfect their reality is.
16. In today's world, intelligent is not the one who has the best beliefs & knowledge
Intelligent is the one who upgrades his beliefs and knowledge on a regular basis.
17. If you start cheering up your friends the way you cheer and support your favourite sports team, things will get so much better.
18. I have mad respect for people who graduate in a field they are not interested in only to get a job so that later they can fund their passion.
