Rome was not built in a day.
It’s an ancient expression. Its origins can be traced back to the mediaeval period, with one of the earliest recorded instances appearing in French literature around 1190.
The phrase appears in the “Li Proverbe au Vilain” (“The Proverbs of the Common Man”), a mediaeval collection of proverbs written in Old French. The exact line is “Rome ne fu pas faite toute en un jour,” which translates to “Rome was not made all in one day.”
This reflects the idea that great and enduring accomplishments require time and patience.
Perfecting a new skill
Personal fitness journey
Building a successful business
Achieving academic excellence
An artist creating a masterpiece
They all need time and patience.
Time and Patience.
Those were the only two things I knew we would need the most when we started MissioN SMILE in January 2021.
This was our simple promise when we started.
If you notice above, we promised only 3 things:
- Slack Discussion
- 1 zoom call monthly for an hour
- 15 research reports in a year
35 investors took the early bird offer on the day of launch. We hit the 50 investors’ mark in the first two weeks.
No plan B.
No Zoom/Webex paid subscription.
There was no Learning Management System (LMS).
Only hope and effort.
Now 42 months later, in June 2024, I feel proud to share some numbers below:
~7000 investors have learned about investing from MissioN SMILE
~36 MissioN SMILE monthly webinars (70+ hours of high-quality investing content)
~100+ Detailed Research Notes on Smallcaps (1000+ pages of research content)
~10 Chintan Baithaks with Mr. Atul Raval (15+ hours of mini-course in microcap investing)
~5 SSS Ki Pathshala Sessions
~40 Investing Masterclass Sessions with experts (75+ hours of investing wisdom)
To sum up:
150+ hours of high-quality investing video content
1000+ pages of research content that you won’t find in the brokerage reports
7000+ investors are learning about investing.
All growth is organic.
No paid promotion.

As I look back on the last three and a half years, I see our small baby has metamorphosed into a powerhouse in investment education.
A snapshot of where we stand today.
Here’s what our members say about us.
Just like Rome was not built in a day, MissioN SMILE was not built in a day.
And if you ask me, we are just getting started.
Expect more from us, much more.
But remember Time & Patience.
And be a part of the MissioN SMILE family here.
Thank you for reading.
