About Ashutosh

Ashutosh is a Chartered Accountant & Chartered Financial Analyst. He is a commerce graduate from Narsee Monjee College, Mumbai.

Quite contrary to his academic qualification, his true expertise (and passion) lies in the areas of personal transformation, productivity, leadership, and communication. He is driven by his love to contribute to the growth story of people around him.

His Beliefs

Ashutosh believes that clarity is the starting point of incredible action in any business. Without clarity, business is like driving a car in foggy weather, where one has no choice but to slow down.

He believes that without clarity, the entrepreneur or leader functions at 30-40% of their potential, and clarity alone can take this index to 70-80%.

Today, every leader has access to knowledge at their fingertips. But the real challenge is to convert this knowledge into tangible action. The missing piece is the clarity of action to be taken every single day.

Ashutosh believes that the ritual of daily planning is the ultimate access to create clarity which helps entrepreneurs to channelize their finite energy time most productively during the day. Its like a Google map that helps you to navigate your day efficiently.

What inspired him to create Actionpreneur?

As an entrepreneur himself, Ashutosh found that it’s a big challenge to be disciplined and consistent in taking actions in line with his goals & vision.

It’s an irony that an entrepreneur holds everyone else accountable but he or she is not accountable to anyone else.

Also, he found that every entrepreneur (like himself) has a lot of ideas, tasks and to-do’s on his or her plate and that overwhelms them every now and then.

He believes that everyone knows that planning is critical for having a productive day but unless there is structure to make it a “must-do” ritual at the beginning of the day, the consistency is lost. It’s like everyone knows exercise or yoga is good for our long-term health but unless there is a structure to hold this habit, it’s difficult to sustain the same just by our willpower.

He tried many task management applications but failed to overcome this problem. He realized that software alone cannot solve the productivity problem. It’s the consistency of planning and reflection on a daily and weekly basis, with a community of committed individuals, that solves the problem.

He dreamt of having a structured space where he could create clarity by planning every day along with some sort of accountability for the previous day’s plan and action.

He created Actionpreneur because he really wanted it to exist for himself.

And along with planning, he added a layer of personal development in Actionpreneur in the form of 10 minutes of entrepreneurial excellence insights, that enables a leader to become a better version of himself or herself every single day.

He believes in the ideology that excellence is not a product of sophisticated ideas, but it’s a product of doing simple things consistently.

That’s how Actionpreneur came into existence.
