EVERYTHING I DO IS MY BUSINESS

What if everything you have been calling “life outside business” is actually

some of your most important business? When a school friend met Dr.

Abhishek Gilara after nearly thirty years, he was astonished by his journey:

managing businesses, writing books, preserving India’s traditional

jewellery craftsmanship, contributing to society, maintaining spiritual

discipline, exercising regularly and remaining devoted to family. He

asked a question that many others had asked before: “How do you find

time for everything? When do you actually do business?” His answer

became the foundation of this book: “I am doing business throughout my

twenty-four hours.”

In EVERYTHING I DO IS MY BUSINESS, Dr. Abhishek Gilara challenges the conventional belief that

profit and loss belong only to the financial world. He introduces five essential businesses of human

life—Professional, Family, Spiritual, Welfare and Learning—and explains why neglecting any one of

them can create losses that money alone may never recover. He also reveals his 0.01% Principle: the art

of doing only what truly matters while refusing to surrender precious time to unnecessary distractions,

comparisons, arguments and other people’s affairs. Through personal experiences, practical examples and

reflections drawn from decades of disciplined living, this book offers a different way to understand time,

responsibility, wealth and success. It asks a question every reader must eventually confront: Are you

becoming richer in life, or merely richer in money?
