10/07/2019, 6:21 AMWhich brought me to the idea of starting a book club on some themes of philosophy, business etc topics where we can share our top learnings and keep each other accountable for constantly reading, learning and most importantly, implementing it and taking action
Would keep a simple biweekly or monthly quick call format on a Saturday or mid-week afternoon where one can share our thoughts/learnings etc
Let me know if anyone is interested - will set things up

10/08/2019, 5:46 AM@dry-waitress-7852 also
@acceptable-flag-71699 - already running a show
**adding just for my tracking 🙂

10/08/2019, 6:10 AMWill set things up next week if needed
Already joined @acceptable-flag-71699’s community - but I was thinking direct calls & Accountability and having things in calendar would be helpful to move forward for a small group only.
But curious to hear - which books are you currently reading OR want to finish this financial year (till march 2020 end) for your own personal/business goals etc?
I'll go first - I'm hooked on the following & their reasons:
1. Ego is the enemy (because I'm doing good in business & revenues )
2. Company of one (to find out how to grow further with meaning & learn from these "Small giants" and not crazy startups )
3. The power of full engagement (to improve my energy in 4 main areas of life)
4. The power of habit (to convert all goals to daily habits for daily exponential growth)
5. The way of the superior man (for relationships & growth in them)
**might modify 1-2 later
@calm-grass-85557 @delightful-glass-14214 @dry-waitress-7852 @acceptable-flag-71699 - let me know your thoughts

10/08/2019, 6:14 AMI’m up for it as well. I’m reading Company of One and Homo Deus these days - I read very slowly and will have to push even to finish these two this year.

Cool - Up for a quick call for 15 minutes this Saturday at 12pm to kick things off?
Just to decide books, format and take it forward before we forget about it
Do share your emails - I'll set it up

10/09/2019, 5:45 AMUmmm we already have a call on Saturday around 3ish I guess
dry-waitress-7852
10/09/2019, 5:46 AMIt's better if we can sync these calls back to back/together, more people and the cause both will benefit from that I guess.

10/09/2019, 5:46 AMRegarding books, I’m a slow reader too. I’ve started reading -

10/09/2019, 5:50 AM@dry-waitress-7852 we can do this call at 14:00 and the RI call can happen at 15:00 ?

delightful-glass-14214
10/09/2019, 5:51 AMI’m not following much, what’s the other call about?
a
acceptable-flag-71699
10/09/2019, 6:03 AMThe Friday call is being moved to Saturday 15:00
d
dry-waitress-7852
10/09/2019, 6:08 AMYeah, back to back is fine. Since it’s all community members catching up a longer call (1400 1600) means more people can hop-in and out - I’m looking forward for this Saturday - Zoom does have this 30 minute call thing, does anyone found a workaround?
dry-waitress-7852
10/09/2019, 6:08 AMAlso @calm-grass-85557 might have some inputs regarding the timings.

10/09/2019, 6:41 AMHey Himanshu, I am ok with any timings. We can always iterate.
We do have a problem with the 40min time limit on zoom call. Would you guys be ok using Google meet ? I can use my office account to create a meeting link.

swift-pilot-25722
10/09/2019, 6:43 AMGoogle meet is the best solution, I use Gsuite too and can host from 2pm - yes we can keep back to back calls then

10/09/2019, 6:43 AM@calm-grass-85557 go ahead if you are sending the invite etc

10/09/2019, 6:57 AMOk, let's keep this as a tentative plan for now. Happy to get some feedback. 300 315pm - bookclub call led by Pravin, 315 400pm - regular zoom call led by Himanshu/Abhishek
calm-grass-85557
10/09/2019, 6:58 AMWe can use the same meeting link but people can choose to drop off after the first call

10/09/2019, 7:15 AM@swift-pilot-25722 @calm-grass-85557 15mins will be short for bookclub call. Let's have it 2:30 - 3:15 - 4:00?

10/09/2019, 7:36 AMHey @acceptable-flag-71699 @swift-pilot-25722 What would be the agenda for these book-club calls ? Might have mentioned it before, but I want to make sure we are all on the same page
