0

If you are doing a job you are in a rat race circle. The rat race circle is endless. Rat race means – 

  • Competitive Struggle
  • Difficulty moving ahead in life
  • Unnecessary Pain
  • Unpleasant life 
  • Attempt to earn a reward for the Hard work done by you
  • Limited Income 

Many people may disagree with me as they are satisfied with their job. They are happy with minimum progress and importantly with the boss. 

But, I was not. When I was doing the job I identified 10 different pain areas of Rat Race Circle – Job. Today I am going to share it with you.

Before sharing these pain areas, let me share with you Hexa Income Framework. As per my Hexa Income Framework – we have 6 types of people in life – Employees, Self Employees, businessmen, Entrepreneurs, infopreneurs & investors.

Believe me or not being an employee is the worst place to be in. If you are an employee you need to start moving from employee to businessman, businessman to entrepreneur, and entrepreneur to infopreneur. 

To take this leap first thing you need to do is start something part-time where you have passion. If you start something of your passion your chance of getting success is very high. I have a 3P+3P =6P system that can help you to come out from the rat race circle. If you are interested to learn more from me you can join my webinar.

10 Pain Areas of Rat Race Circle – Job

#1 No Time

The problem with the job is the long working hours. Irrespective of your wish you have to accept long working hours –

  • To increase show your performance.
  • To please your boss.
  • To complete the pending work.
  • To do something extra to get a promotion.

This means you will have less time for your family and friends. You will never live a balanced life. This is the first pain area of Job.

#2 No/Limited Money 

The second pain area is – No or Limited Money. You must agree with me that No money is the pain today. Inflation is growing but your salary is not. Your expenses are growing but your salary is somewhat stagnant. 

No or limited money is one of the biggest pain areas of Rat Race Circle – Job.

#3 Living Beyond Income 

The next pain area is living beyond your income. Most of the people doing the job are managing the show somehow. In other words, they are constantly working on the expense circle and not the income circle. 

Living beyond income will always gives stress to financial life, personal life, and relationships. 

#4 Lot of Stress

Stress is an inevitable part of job people. I have personally experienced a lot of stress in my job. 

  • Stress about the deadline of a project
  • Stress about completing the target
  • Stress about apprisal 
  • Stress about the growing expense 
  • Stress about facing the boss 

Stress like this adversely affects your life and your health. It may invite some uncurable diseases like high blood pressure. I am witness to it. My work life use to give me a lot of stress and I got diseases of high blood pressure. 

#5 Long Work Hours

Long working hours are part and parcel of people who are in a Job. You have to work hard and show your performance in your job. To complete pending work or target it is natural that you need to work for long hours. 

Many times even the boss asked you to work for long working hours. Working for long hours is a pain area for many job people.

#6 No Work-Life Balance

Another pain for a rat race circle job is No work-life balance. As it is long working hours your work-life balance goes for the toss. You can not spend more time with your family and it leads to multiple issues. In most cases, leaves are limited and one needs to explain to the boss about taking leaves also. This is one of the biggest pain areas for the job.

#7 Spoiled Relationship

The side effect or pain area of job people is spoiled relationships. As it is long working hours you can not spend time with your family and better half. This leads to a spoiled relationship. It is one of the biggest pain area of the job – rat race circle.

#8 Credit Card Debt & Loans

Debt is the biggest pain area for job people. Limited income leads to various types of debts and loans. You end up buying things on a credit card or you may end up taking up loans. These loans and credit cards lead you to a vicious circle of debt and you will always remain under pressure. 

#9 Limited Choices

Job means limit. You have a limit in everything and more importantly, you have a limit in choices. The main reason for limited choices is limited money. Money always gives choices and you will get more money only by doing business or by investing money. 

#10 No Fulfillment in Life

The last pain area that I could discover in the rat race circle is no fulfillment in life. You are working only for money, you are not living your passion. You are following the instructions of your boss and doing – do as directed job. This is the biggest pain area I could see in the rat race circle job.

If you are also facing pain like the above – It’s time to come out from the rat race circle. The first thing you need to do to leave the rat race circle is to learn high-income skills. High-income skills can help you to make a lot of money online as well as offline.

Hexa Income Framework – Why My Son Wants Only Rich Dad?

My Son Wants Only Rich Dad – No Poor Dad. 

You must have read the Famous book by Robert Kiyosaki – Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book talks about the comparison between Rich Dads and Poor dads.

The primary concept of the book is –

  • Poor to Rich
  • Job to Business 
  • Mediocre Mindset to Rich Mindset 
  • Fixed Income to Unfixed Income
  • Limited Income to Unlimited Income

Fortunately, God blessed me with both worlds. Poor and Rich. My grassroots are from a middle-class family. I was living in a 1 BHK apartment. My father was in the bank and he worked in a bank for 33 long years. He relied only on a single source of Income. 

Due to limited income, our lifestyle was full of compromise. My father was managing the expense circle and not the income circle. The time was like that. One day he told me son work hard and study well so that, You don’t have to do what I am doing today. I was an obedient child. I completed my engineering and started doing a job in MNC. Soon I realized that –

  • Do I need to rely on a single source of Income?
  • Do I need to remain Poor Dad?
  • Do I need to accept only Mediocre life?

I realized that I need not live poor dad life. I want to live a life of a rich dad. I started finding ways to make money part-time. I was blessed with a second income stream of Google Adsense and Now, I have multiple sources of Income. These Multiple sources of Income give me financial confidence.

All these were possible due to “High-Income Skills” and Passion. 

When I was doing a job my son used to tell me – Papa – 

  • You are super busy.
  • You don’t have time for your family.
  • Why we can not afford a big home and a Luxurious car?
  • Why we can not go abroad for a vacation?
  • Why I can not study at DPS School?

Well, At that time I could not able to answer him. But, I was knowing that I was living the life of a Poor Dad. And his questions were bugging me that My Son knows that we are living a middle-class lifestyle. He was fed up with the word – I Can’t Afford it. 

But, after living my job in 2021, today, I realized that now I am living the lifestyle of a Rich Dad. My Son Loves this life. Today, I have multiple sources of Income via Blogging, Affiliate marketing, Digital Marketing, Mentoring, and many others.  

Today My mindset is completely changed. Earlier, I was thinking that “I Can’t Afford it”. Today I think about “How I Can Afford it”. 

I am proud to say that I am an Infopreneur and 10x Multi Income Coach. I am living the life of my dream. I have absolute freedom and choices. 

I am Infoprenure & Mult-Income coach and today my son tells me – Papa –

  • You are the Best Dad in the world. You giving us a lot of time.
  • You are fulfilling my dreams. 
  • We are living a rich lifestyle. 

Papa, I pray to god every day, that I love this new avatar of my dad. The innocent child was not aware of the fact that his father has changed his mindset and everything has changed. His father is now Rich Dad. Rich in Money and Rich in Midset. 

My son loves his Rich Dad. Believe me or not Every Son Wants Only Rich Dad – No Poor Dad. 

Now, you must be thinking that How to become a Rich Dad? So, here is my answer backed by Hexa Income Framework. 

Hexa Income Framework – How to Become a Rich Dad?

Do you remember the Cash Flow Quadrant of Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki Book? 

That cash flow quadrant framework was based on EBSI.

  • Employes
  • Business Man
  • Self Employed 
  • Investors

Today, I will be extending this framework, because I believe that the cash flow quadrant framework is no longer valid in this skilled-based economy. We need something called Hexa Income Framework – EBSIEI.

This framework is based on the – 

  • Employee
  • Self Employed
  • Businessman
  • Entrepreneur
  • Infopreneur
  • Investor

hexa income framework - shitanshu

Let’s take a look at this framework and its component in detail. 

#1 Employee

The person who is doing Job is called a worker or employee. He lives fixed income life. Job is fixed, Income is Fixed, Working Hours is Fixed and Work is also fixed.

No freedom, No time, and No or Limited Choices.

#2 Self Employee 

The person who is doing business but managing everything on his own. He does not keep anyone as a helping hand. He feels he is superman. Examples are advocates, independent contractors, accountants, financial advisers, insurance agents, etc. He lives a slightly better life in terms of income but working hours are not fixed and work is also not fixed.

Limited Freedom, No Time, and No or Limited Choices.

#3 Businessman 

For me, Businessman is nothing but a trader. He purchases an item in X rupee and sells it in the market with X + Y rupee. He only focuses on profit and volume. He leverages things.

E.g – He purchases 1 KG of apples for 80 INR and sells it for 100 INR. He earns a profit. 

He lives a comfortable lifestyle. He has limited and better choices. 

#4 Entrepreneur

An entrepreneur is someone who has an idea and who works to create a product or service that people. An entrepreneur takes on most of the risk and initiative for their new business and is often seen as visionary or innovator.

E.g – He purchases apples, pineapple, and watermelon at a reasonable price. He established his juice shop at a good location. He hires the staff. He does marketing. He takes out the juice and sells the juice glass at a higher price. In short, he leverages more compared to a business person. 

He lives a lifestyle of a rich person. He has a rich mindset. He lives a dream life with freedom. He earns a lot of money. He has time and money and especially choices. 

#5 Infopreneur

An Infopreneur is someone who makes money from the information. He sells information and makes money. In other words, Infopreneur is an entrepreneur who specializes in the sale and distribution of information and expertise. Example of infopreneur is blogger, vlogger, podcaster, e-book author, online course, webinar, coaches, etc. He makes online money.

E.g – He purchases apples, pineapple, and watermelon at a reasonable price. He gathers the knowledge and benefits of drinking juice. He takes out the juice and drinks it in front of the camera. He also explains about health benefits of drinking juice on camera. He makes videos and earns money from these videos.

He lives a lifestyle of a rich person. He has a rich mindset. He lives a dream life with freedom. He earns a lot of money online. He has absolute time freedom and money freedom. He lives the best life.

#6 Investors 

An investor is a wealthy person who invests money in assets and generates more money. He just find out about level 1 & 2 Investment options like self-investment & business. He generates money from these investments and lives a rich lifestyle. 

He lives a superb lifestyle. He has all choices. He has money time and freedom.

Now, from the above comparison, we can divide this Hexa Income Framework is divided into four parts.

👉 Worst – Employees, Self-Employed 

👉 Better – Businessmen

👉 Best – Entrepeneurs, Infopreneurs 

👉 Super – Investors

So, if you are doing a job or if you are self-employed it’s time to relook at everything with a fresh eye. 

You need to go from employee to investor to become rich dad.

If you continue to be in your job or self-employee you will remain poor dad.

Remember – No Son likes Poor Dad. You can be a Rich Dad only if you become a businessman, entrepreneur, infopreneur, or investor.

 5 Key Learning from Apple Marketing Strategy

#1 Avoid Price War Focus on Unique Value Proposition 

Apple is a brand that always avoids price wars and believes in the value proposition. Apple’s brand has no competition. No competition means no price war. Apple’s strategy says that price war and dropping price leads to a “race to bottom”.

Apple product means true value. Apple product is full of unique features. The design of every Apple product is elegant and beautiful. The packaging of the product is unique. It’s a marketing strategy that gets juice through social media and is very much a competitive advantage for Apple and its market share.

Apple charges higher prices as they offer unique value and features. Some features of Apple products are – 

  • Better Security & Privacy
  • Unique High Pixel Camera
  • Safari Web Browser for a Unique browsing experience 
  • iTunes store for iOS app
  • Intuitive Touch Screen 

Learning from this is – Whether you’re selling products or services, the key to making this strategy work for you is to make sure that you justify that higher price to capture your market share.

#2 Design a Better Customer Experience 

Apple is not selling products. It is selling a unique customer experience. Apple has created a customer experience that goes far beyond the limit. 

The “Apple customer experience” includes elements from every aspect of the purchasing process – comparing different product versions, trying out products in the retail store, actually buying the item, receiving it, unboxing it, and setting it up.

If we only take the example of the Apple store – visiting the Apple store is a unique experience in itself. Every Apple store is uniquely designed with warm lighting, mesmerizing color scheme, and a unique layout making it a unique customer experience. 

iPad Apple Store

Learning from this is – You need to think about how you can design a unique customer experience for your product or services. In simple words deliver more value to the customer. Think of customer delight and not customer satisfaction.

#3 Know your audience and talk to them in their language

Apple’s marketing strategy is unique. From website to product features everywhere you will see marketing.

Let me explain with examples. 

Just visit the Apple website. Visiting Apple’s website is a wonderful experience. On the website, you will find every message that connects with the audience. For example – 

  • iPad is Loveable, Drawable, and Magical
  • iPad Pro is Supercharged by M2
  • iPhone 14 Pro is Pro Beyond
  • iPhone 14 is Bigger and Better
  • Apple Watch Ultra is Adventure Awaits
  • Apple Watch Series 8 is A Healthy Lead Ahead
  • iPod is not a music player it is marketed as -it lets you store hours of music in your pocket.
  • iMac is not just a computer – it helps make your computing experience exciting and pleasurable.
  • iPhone is not just a smartphone – it lets you put the power of an Apple computer in your phone.

For example, if your major audience is Millenials you can make use of a mobile app or chatbot on your website. Whereas if your audience is old people you can connect them via phone to customer care and serve them differently.

Learning from all the above examples is – It is extremely important to know your audience and use marketing language & tools which connect with the customer.

#4 Deal with Emoitions 

Customer emotions play an important role when buying any product or service. I even shared with you this in 3 powerful sales secrete “People buy with emotion and they justify with logic.”  

Apple product sales and marketing means emotion. 

Take a look at the iPad’s first commercial which was featured during the 82nd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 7, 2010. The ad was showing people relaxing in the living room with the new gadget iPad. They looked happy and comfortable using the new iPad.

They weren’t talking about display dimensions or processing power. They were just enjoying their iPads.

Those ads, are Apple marketing strategy to connect with customers with emotion and pass on the message that the iPad makes your life easy and gives you a lot of ease and enjoyment. They want to connect with the customer’s heart and not mind.

Learning from above is – Speak to customers with emotion. Know their pain area and talk about improving their present situation and sales would be more.

#5 Build Loyal Fan Following

Apple marketing strategy clearly shows one thing that you need to build a loyal fan following for your product or services.

Over the years, Apple has built one of the most hardcore fan bases for any brand, anywhere in the world.

Any product launch of Apple is a crazy launch. You will find hundreds of fan followers, photographers, journalists, security staff, police, and curious onlookers crowd during the product launch. Here is a photograph showing the product launch.

Apple has created a brand personality and culture that’s cool, fun, and friendly. Apple’s marketing strategies include making customers want to belong to that community. Their market share shows just how successful they have been.

Now, think of Ad campaign which was created by Apple. “Think Different” it was used from 1997 to 2002. 

Think Different Posters were black and white and only featured people that are thinkers. Only one thing was promoted – Think Different and Apple believes in that. Ad narration of Think Different was also unique. 

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

From this ad campaign – Apple wanted to prove that they are different, they are unique. This ad created a massive impact in building fan following of Apple products.

Learning here is – Even small brands can build a community of devoted users and customers. You just need to be clear on your brand values and personality and create a core brand message that connects with people deeply.

Over to You 

I am 100% sure that If you make use of Apple’s Marketing Strategy and key learning shared here your chances of getting massive business success are very high.

MT4 And MT5 Are Banned From The App Store. What Are The Other Options?

MT4 and MT5 are the two most frequently used and prestigious trading platforms around the world. Both platforms offer a wide range of features and tools that can be used by traders of all experience levels. While MT4 is more widely used by experienced traders, MT5 is gaining popularity among newer traders who are looking for a platform with advanced features.

All great features which will be quickly overviewed late were available for iOS users but not anymore. At first, there was no official word from Apple on whether or not MT4 and MT5 were banned from their App Store. However, there were many reports of people having difficulty finding and downloading the apps.

Currently, both platforms are banned from AppleStore. There are several reasons why iOS users are not able to use the most popular trading apps anymore. If you are interested in why we will explain everything down below. Additionally, we will suggest some great apps which can be useful for online financial trading from AppleStore.

MT4 MT5

A Quick Overview Of MT4 And MT5 – Play Store Users Are Still Able To Use Them

MetaTrader 4 which is the same as MT4 has been available since 2005.  MT4 was designed to offer traders a secure and efficient way to trade Forex, CFDs, and Futures markets. The main features of MT4 include charting tools, technical indicators, Expert Advisors (EAs), backtesting capabilities, and a user-friendly interface.

MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is an improved version of MT4 in several markets. It has been available to use since 2010. MT5 was designed to provide traders with an even more efficient way to trade Forex, CFDs, and Futures markets. The main features of MT5 include advanced charting tools, technical indicators, EAs, backtesting capabilities, hedging support, and a more robust programming language (MQL5).

If you want to see a more clear picture of the MT4 platform compared to Tradingview it is needed to understand the basic differences between the latest and the first MetaQuotes platforms.

1) the programming language used – MQL4 vs MQL5;

2) order execution types supported – market orders only on MT4 vs market & pending orders on MT54;

3) a number of timeframes supported – 9 on Mt44 vs 21 on Mt55;

4) a number of built-in technical indicators – 31 on Mt44 vs 38 on Mt55.

Why Are MT4 And MT5 Banned From The App Store And What Can I Use Instead Of Them?

There are a few reasons why MT4 and MT5 are banned from the AppStore. The primary reason is about contracts for the difference which is the same as CFDs. More specifically, MT5 includes the CFD market which includes derivative products. The App Store considered that it could cause speculation about the price of underlying assets. CFDs are not permitted in Apple’s App Store guidelines. Another reason is that MT4 and MT5 platforms also offer access to leveraged products, such as Forex, which can result in losses exceeding your initial investment if not managed properly. Leverage is also not allowed in Apple’s App Store guidelines.

Apple has commented that the reason they banned MT4 from AppStore is that it allows for the development of Expert Advisors, which are automated trading robots. These robots can place trades on behalf of their users and have the potential to manipulate markets. So for MT4 which is the leading one in the FX market, Apple is considered a risk for a stable financial market.

Unfortunately, Apple has not commented officially if they are going to return these platforms to the App Store. However, many traders are hopeful that the company will change its mind and make these popular trading platforms available again. Only time will tell if Apple decides to bring back MT4 and MT5.
