The Startup of YOU: Your Career & EntrepreneurshipKriti Kapoor
This presentation was inspired by an article I wrote for young graduates, and applies to experienced professionals as well. Sharing my personal career journey, and lessons learnt so far.

Inspired by The Startup of You by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha
For hard-charging Millennial women – 10 principles for taking no bull. Including: Take Care of Your Future Self, Develop Multiple Income Streams, and more.
Finding a new job is really tough work. But it is much easier if you start acting like a marketer. Stop and think for a second. Are you marketing yourself or are you just sending applications? The road to landing a job is paved with personal branding, standing our and making a different impression on the recruiter.
View this presentation and you will learn how to create an application and CV that will get you an interview. There aren’t any one-stop solutions, because everyone is different. Let the characters of Seinfeld help you in this difficult task. Look at this SlideShare and learn how to land a job. Recruiting has never been this clear.
This presentation helps us to look at professional networking from a more friendly and informal perspective. What works when you're looking for a job? What doesn't work?
The presentation starts off with a set of premises such as 'a friend is more likely to help you than a non-friend when looking at your resume' - a set of facts/assumptions that help drive the argument of corporate pick-up lines forward. We then discuss a set of lines that were used successfully to start a normal conversation, and we look at the common elements that help us start conversation with complete strangers. This can, in essence, be used to create new friendships (note 'friendships' rather than 'professional connections') which lead to new and exciting opportunities.

The document discusses common misconceptions about entrepreneurship in Malaysia and provides advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

This document discusses saboteurs and how they can undermine projects. It defines a saboteur as someone who wants a project to fail, change direction, or be undermined. Saboteurs are effective if their persistence and consistency are allowed to influence others over time. Their impact on projects can include preventing clear communication about needed changes and causing delays. The document provides types of saboteurs and suggests approaches to dealing with them such as ignoring low-impact saboteurs but closely monitoring or "turning" more influential ones. It concludes that saboteurs should not be ignored but that their motivations need to be understood so the issues they raise can be addressed.

It also emphasizes the importance of speed and acting like a startup by focusing on solutions, setting tight deadlines, and challenging the status quo. Additionally, it recommends finding "Pippi Longstocking" type people who will drive change, rather than more cautious "Annika" types, when building a team.
Similar to Imposter Syndrome - Inspired by Dona Sarkar (20)
How to think like an entrepreneur involves a ton of stuff...way too much stuff! Welcome to my brain dump of skills and traits and all kinds of magic that make an entrepreneur successful.
One of the secrets to being successful in business, regardless of whether you want to be an intrapreneur or an entrepreneur, is design thinking. We must empathize with our audience, listen to them, gain insights from them, develop our product roadmaps around their feedback & continuing to rinse & repeat.
In addition to design thinking, we must understand the blueprint of our business, and that is capturing the high level points in the form of a business model canvas. It may seem academic, but it is truly helpful to make sure you understand & can describe your business to others in a succinct fashion. Love it or hate it...it's helpful!
Lastly, we must all understand the buyer of our products and services so we know how to paint a picture around who to talk to when it comes to gaining audience insights, capturing the insights & keeping them fresh in our mind when we go to market.
Is this deck messy and jumping around a bit? Maybe, but I swear there's a method to the madness.

Create. Make. Do.
No Handcuffs.
Make the
Impossible
Possible. No Hierarchies. Rad Squad.
Be an AND, not an OR.
3. Be Honest!
Was there a huge mistake?
How did I get here?
Was it all an accident?
DOES THIS GO THROUGH YOUR
MIND?
5. NORMAL!
WHAT YOU
FEEL IS
NORMAL.
ARE YOU READY TO ADMIT IT?
DID I MENTION THAT YOU ARE
NOT AN IMPOSTER?
ARE YOU AS GOOD AS THE
PEOPLE AROUND YOU?
Some of you might be shaking your
heads yes. Right?!
You? Nope.
Yes, you are!
6. What you feel
is normal!
THAT'S WHAT MY MENTOR
SUSAN BECKS
SAYS TO ME.
7. You are not an
imposter.
THAT'S WHAT MY BIG BOSS
AT IBM TOLD ME RECENTLY.
11. Is this you too?
Confession...this WAS me.
Ready to admit
it yet?
12. Hypelane Clothing Co. 2020
It was not dumb
luck!YOU WERE NOT IN THE RIGHT
PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
YOU DESERVE A ROCKING
SEAT AT THE TABLE.
YOU ARE NOT FAKING IT.
You belong.
You belong.
You belong.
16. Are you sure it is reality?
Most of what you feel is imaginary &
not reality!
What do you feel unqualified
to do?
Are there some things you feel
unqualified to do?
17. Will you or others be better
off?
We often cause others to miss out on
our greatness when we do not
#DoTheThing.
What will you lose out on if you
don't #DoTheThing?
We often stop ourselves from
#DoingTheThing because of the
stories we create in our heads.
18. What are you really not good at
when you break it down?
We do often suck sometimes, but
where we are not good does not
align to what we tell in our heads.
So...what if we broke things
down into small parts?
What if we look at what exactly we
are qualified to do...into smaller
pieces.
19. BUILDING & SCALING
STARTUPS
I am now an expert in the startup ecosystem &
I now know that deep inside my mind.

I have always been good at creating networks of
people & teaching new skills.

I strongly feel the need to inspire & advocate for
women & girls & the unserved.
EVANGELIZING & CREATING
DIGITAL INCLUSION
My passion and purpose include empowering
people with access to tech skills.
Don't let your mind fool you.
What am I
QUALIFIED to
do?
20. COMPLETING EXPENSE
REPORTS
I am a disaster in this area & need help from
others.
STICKING TO ONE TASK &
FOCUSING THERE
I get distracted easily & cannot focus on one task
or one project at a time. That's who I am.
KEEPING THE TRAIN ON THE
TRACKS
I am a creator, maker, and doer. I should not be in
roles where I am focused on only operations.
SAME OLE SAME OLE
I need to be innovating & breaking the norm or I
feel stagnant.
We are not good at everything,
right?
What am I truly
UNQUALIFIED to
do?
21. Think...who is your team to help
when others have skills you lack?
Who is qualified to do what
you're not?
Identify people who are able to team
with you so you can divide & conquer to
#DoTheThing.
22. MEI LIN
Let her help me shine &
empower her to shine.
Internet Super Star

Ask them to take the lead

UN Leader
23. No need to take a crash course in
conquering the world.
What if you started small?
Think about the concept of test & learn.
Do a small pilot & adjust where
necessary.
24. But...how do you reach out
to an expert?
Compliment their work. Keep it short
& simple. Ask a specific question.
25. We all have to start somewhere.
Don't you get tired of
comparing yourself to
others?
Your chapter 5 is not someone else's
chapter 20.
27. CEO & FOUNDER
Why should I have to
choose between being an
intrapreneur & an
entrepreneur?
SPEAKER &
WRITER
I write personally,
professionally &
academically.
BIG TECH
EXECUTIVE
I am a developer advocate
without even being a
developer! Tech welcomes
people of all backgrounds.
28. How many times do we do the
exact opposite of what we would
advise a friend?
What advice would you give
a friend?
Write that down & this time actually do
it.
30. SOMETIMES YOU
WIN.
Who doesn't want to win
all the time?
SOMETIMES YOU
LEARN.
We do not always win all
the time, but when we do
not, make sure you learn
from it.
DOCUMENT THE
STORY.
Write about what you
learned & do not be afraid
to be vulnerable.
