Hello Everyone, Today’s Newsletter is about Product Management!
Trump signs orders banning US business with TikTok and WeChat parent Tencent
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday banning transactions with ByteDance, the parent company of popular app TikTok. The White House also announced that he signed a similar order banning transactions with Tencent-owned WeChat, a messaging app that is ubiquitous in China but has a much smaller presence than TikTok in the United States, where it is used mainly by members of the Chinese diaspora. Both orders will take effect in 45 days.

Today’s topic is about Goal Setting!
Gaurav Munjal (Founder of Unacademy) shares a concept called “Iconic Goals”. He tells “Iconic Goals are the most important goals of your life, organization, etc. They are the best-case scenario that you envision.”
Iconic Goals
Over the years I have used a variety of goal-setting framework and maybe I will do a detailed post someday about the framework that I use. There is one thing though in that framework that I would like to talk about today. It’s called ‘Iconic Goals’.
⚡ Key Points
Direction - I am rarely clueless about where I want to go
Superfast decision making - Most of the times decision making is super easy because I ask myself if this decision will take me nearer to my Iconic Goals or farther
Clarity - Companies do not fail because the Founders didn’t have rigour / every Founder starts with having a lot of rigour / Companies mostly fail because of lack of clarity
🎉 That’s it for today! See you tomorrow.
