Basha Effect

I'm back! And in this episode, I dive into one of the most fundamental concepts that I practice on a daily basis. I don't believe in failure, and the Basha Effect Podcast is a prime example of this. It could have been another podcast that disappears after a few episodes but I refuse to fail and in this episode, I give you some examples of how this mindset has helped me achieve my desired outcomes and how these words "failure is not an option" can help you achieve yours.

This episode is GEM PACKED with information that will help anyone out there that's going through a rough time. Perspective, how you look at things/situations is KEY to achieving your desired outcomes.  The things I talk about are things that have helped me get to where I am now. If my words have impacted you in any way please share this episode with a friend.

After suffering such devastating tragedy in her family from such a young age, Kate has been able to bounce back and spread awareness of life and responsibility.  She is a role model to everyone that hears her story and her lessons.   During this episode, I explore some really deep topics with Kate about taking responsibility and holding yourself accountable to the possible consequences of your actions and how it can impact everyone around you.  The key lesson that we flesh out is that we can view life as either “happening to us, or happening for us”. Resilience and perspective are extremely underrated and underappreciated characteristics of perpetual positivity.     Enjoy, and thank you for listening.  I’m doing this for you.

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Basha Effect, where I explore the topic of learning and achieving through doing, rather than reading.  My name is Izhar Basha and I am your host.   We are flooded with various various social media influencers telling us that we should read books and that all the answers are in books.  This can sometimes be a little misleading, and more often than not, incessantly reading books is the precursor to procrastination. It also assumes that we learn effectively through reading, whereas this may not be the case.   I had fun challenging the concept of non-stop reading, and my focus on “doing” has been a key reason for my achievements.   Enjoy, and thank you for listening.  I’m doing this for you.

My day starts off with me premeditating the night before and setting myself up for success by understanding what I need to be achieving the next day. This podcast shares a lot of my personal key tips and strategies about what I do, but I'm very careful to ensure that I set some guidelines and thought strategies for you to be able to decide about what you will apply to ensure that you succeed.   Enjoy guys.
