Grateful for the shitty Ola and Uber service because it finally pushed me to get my own car despite my Excel numbers not making sense! 😍

Whatsapp is going to die a slow "sms" death if they don't solve the spam issue.

Digital nomad life update #3: Being in a touristy town like Phuket or Krabi isn't the best for productivity.

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

@priyankarakshi1 Higher than most places in Thailand. I'd say comparable to any tier 2 city in India.

Digital nomad life update #2: Moved to Phuket from Chaing Mai. It's very touristy, and therefore not as conducive to work as Chiang Mai was. BUT- the beaches are beyond beautiful, and working from here is bringing out my creative side! :)

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

@nishanth_who Yes, that's are our next stop :)

#DigitalNomadDiaries: Bangalore ka mausam, small towns ki ease, big cosmo cities ki vibes, and Paris/NY style cafes, bars, and restaurants— Chiang Mai has it all at a fraction of the cost.
Also barely any traffic on the roads, & high-speed wifi all over! I'm in paradise. :)

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

@kaushal I'm in Chiang Mai :)

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

Packed up my sh*t in Bangalore, stored it in a warehouse, and moved to Thailand to take a shot at the digital nomad life. Quite liking it so far! :)

@kreddyio I used Stownest. Happy with their service.

@vaibhav_arora__ My YouTube channel :)

@dkpareek21 Not a big fan of their approach to DM management :(

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

Is anyone building a product to help startups manage high-volume Instagram DMs with ease?

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

Watching RHTDM as a grown-up is all about realizing how Maddy was a complete ass and Reena should've married Ranjeev instead :/

All I'm saying is that working with your partner is no different from working in a team of any kind.
A little empathy goes a long way, and proactive communication can solve the toughest of problems. :)

Do you agree?

My husband Paritosh and I run Hustlepost Academy together. Here's everything we do to set work boundaries as a couple to avoid unnecessary fights —

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

A work disagreement cannot come to our dinner table.
And a life disagreement cannot be carried to our work meetings.
NO MATTER WHAT.
It's easier said than done, but we've had over 3 years of experience in mastering this art now. :)

So am I trying to discourage you from building an audience?
Absolutely not.
This is just to give you a reality check of an otherwise rosy picture.

Above all, remember that the pros of building your audience massively outweigh the cons, so keep up with the efforts! :)

[Saloni Srivastava @salonisriv]

"Build your audience" is the most common advice in the marketing world these days.

However, very few people share the pitfalls of actually having built one.

I have an audience of 500,000+ across YouTube, LinkedIn, & Instagram.

And here are 4 pitfalls that no one talks about👇

😞 You'll fall into the comparison trap!

Took me 5 years to get to a following of half a million.
Now I see new creators get there within months.

I don't complain, but I obviously get jealous! Takes me my all to remind me that I'm here for the right people, not just numbers!
