    Let's Play it Full with Kapil Kulshreshtha:TMS16
    Mar 7 2021
    Do you try to restrict your inner true potential from coming out? Have you been guilty of not Playing it Full?

    In this episode, we have with us Kapil Kulshreshtha who is is the CEO of Scintillate, a company dedicated to helping working professionals find their power zone and build a life of impact, abundance, and joy.

    After 2 decades of working in senior leadership positions, Kapil felt the need to discover his inner calling and do what really matters to him. He realized that he had deliberately engineered smallness in his life by focusing on the standard parameters of success.

    And in a significant leap, Kapil started on the journey of playing it full, be it losing 16 KG in 16 weeks or leaving his high paying job and pursuing his dream of helping others come out of their self-limiting beliefs and giving it all

    This has been one of the most heartful discussions I have had. I found Kapil to be a person who is quite energetic, authentic and one who doesn't shy away in sharing his true inner feelings to the outside world, be it feeling of joy, pain, fears, dreams, or accomplishments.


    Key Points we discussed:

    •The back story behind the concept of Playing it Full
    •Self-limiting beliefs and how to overcome them?
    •Adopting Play it full philosophy in everyone's life

    Key Takeaways

    •If you have badly stuck in debt then as the first step try segregating debts, between high v/s low-interest one. Try to close high-interest ones like a credit card, either through your savings or by selling things that you do not need. Once this gets fixed, you can move the focus on low-interest ones by using part of your income that you earn on a monthly basis


    •One needs to understand the difference between Saving and Investment and shouldn't mix both of them. The primary purpose of Saving is to preserve the money by ensuring it grows at par with inflation whereas the goal of the investment is to earn money and beat inflation. If needed, always hire an investment advisor who can guide you in your investment journey


    •Whether you are working on your business or for a company, consistency is the key element that separates successful people from the rest. Ensure that you are consistent in whatever you do, it may be producing content every day or doing exercise every day or taking ownership and showing up every time when there are problems or challenges that you encounter while working in your company or in your business.
