Lakhiani is a person who lives the code of the extraordinary mind. He is one who goes after his desires with little help from others. At a young age, he did not back away from obstacles imposed by social norms which eventually led him to identify his life purpose. Expectedly, he had his share of failures. It is true that Mindvalley is now a successful enterprise, but it had its lean years as well. However, Lakhiani learned his lessons well. For instance, he realized working for Microsoft might have been prestigious, as others thought so as well, but he later decided it was not what he needed to do to achieve a truly purposeful life. He learned that his failures made him improve as a person particularly because it helped him grow in wisdom and this happened because he has learned to think out-of-the-box. For instance, he invented tools that are not found in conventional classrooms. He did these because he wanted these learning mechanisms to significantly affect social norms by providing a way for people to break from traditional practices and, more importantly, to be able to share the new-found code of extraordinary minds
