There is a concept in remote Indian villages called the HAAT. It is essentially a village market place once every now and then. You went there to buy a cow or bangles or oil or whatever the villagers could afford and fancy. For the villagers that was the place to be. Like a Mall or Amazon. Just like Amazon... you want it... you can get it within minutes... Well except the delivery.

The next revolution needs to be in services. Imagine a world where anything could be done in seconds.. not days... or weeks or months. Won't that be the next level of globalized Baazzaar. I want HTML done on my CSS… well in minutes I can have the guy doing the work. They are waiting and ready. Everybody is in the Globalized Services Baazzaar with 24/7 availability. You want a Direct Marketing Campaign person! In minutes you can talk to 3 people who can write you a DM letter. You want your Laptop’s BIOS password reset? In 20 minutes it is done by the guy in Indonesia, whom you can find in a jiffy. No more elance.com or guru.com or odesk.com.

How about SKYPE for this !!! Let me search Skype users by keywords and send them a message in one shot. Let me allocate a certain amount of money from my Paypal account to the project and let providers bid on it with well defined deadline (well no longer is Skype owned by eBay… sorry.. but still)… you get the point.

Alas !! Not Yet..

Why look for a faster bus to your destination when you can take a flight. In the same way, the book above is the ultimate in personal development and growth. It does not matter if you are looking to improve your sales or your leadership, or even you life at home, a book like this can transform your trajectory like nothing else will.

Besides my doctoral training in empiricism and modern psychology, I am deeply influenced by the ancient wisdom of the Vedanta or its better known cousin - The Bhagavad Gita. On the surface at least the two influences seem diametrically opposing, which gives me a special perspective that is also augmented by my extensive background in entrepreneurship and leadership roles in business, sales, and marketing.

Here I share my view of the world with a tinge of the "VedantaFactor" every now and then. This will offer a constant reminder of that perspective and might encourage the reader to study my favorite book - The Vedanta Treatise. My conversations with business leaders of the world also explore them with the VedantaFactor in mind. It is evident to me that those who have the "VendantaFactor" do better than others.

At the very core is the concept of choice making and actions. Anybody can make good choices when the evidence is compelling and when one is not conflicted. Unfortunately we are almost always conflicted because we want to have our cake and eat it too. As such, it seems the key to leadership and success would lay in fixing that problem first. Because the one thing that separates the wheat from the chaff are the choices we make. It is a shame that still we are not teaching "Self Management" in our schools (unless we include Peter Drucker's writing later in his life on self management as a means for better business management).

Finally, as says my teacher - You can't manage anything if you can't manage yourself, as such we know where to start: Click on the book below and initiate the change.
