Founder

Hey, thanks for checking me out.

This is the bit where I’m supposed to tell you how awesome I am. It’s also usually written in the third person, which is kind of weird, so I won’t do that.

I think people read “about” pages and author bios for two main reasons. They want to know, “Is this person credible?” and “What can they do for me?” With that in mind, here’s a bunch of business stuff I’ve done that I’m proud of:

→ I’ve sold a lot of books. I’m in the top 0.01 percent of nonfiction authors.
→ My books have a lot of reach. They’ve been translated into over 30 languages and have impacted millions of entrepreneurs all over the world.
→ I’ve founded, scaled, and successfully exited multiple high-growth businesses across various industries, including IT, telecommunications, and marketing.
→ I’ve spoken to thousands of people at some amazing events and conferences.
→ I’ve made a lot of money along the way. I know money doesn’t buy happiness, but having grown up poor, I can tell you being rich is much better.
→ I work very reasonable hours. My business and work support my lifestyle, health, and relationships rather than being detrimental to them.

Here’s what I can do for you:

→ I’ll give you a clear, simple, and structured framework for marketing success.
→ I’ll help you and your team build your marketing skills, infrastructure, and capabilities.
→ I’ll help you grow your business revenue and profit.
→ I’ll help you increase the value of your business and create an asset that’s salable should you ever decide you want to exit.
→ I’ll help you build the kind of business that allows you to live life on your own terms.
→ We’ll do all of the above in a way that’s fun.

For a long time, I believed serious business builders should stay away from social media.

I genuinely believed that you shouldn’t “waste time” online.

I thought visibility wasn’t worth the effort.
I avoided it. Delayed it. Doubted it.

But the rising noise around personal branding kept pushing me to at least TRY.

So I took a chance.
Uncomfortably.
Imperfectly.

But with hesitation.
And this week…

I crossed 10,000 followers. 🎉

One fact that changed my perspective:
A global LinkedIn study shows that leaders who actively show up online are trusted over 3x more than those who don’t.

People don’t just follow content; they follow consistency.

So I’ll end with just one thing:
SHOW UP.

Not because it’s trending.
But because your presence is proof that you exist.

Your voice matters, and your journey can help someone else. ✨

You’re drowning in repetitive tasks.
And those tasks hold you to grow

Most entrepreneurs waste precious time.
On admin, not scaling.

When I'm coaching founders, automation is my first fix.
Automate to reclaim your time.

Daily automations include-

▪️Client follow-up nudges
▪️Proposal sending and signing
▪️Scheduling and calendar sync
▪️Feedback and testimonials ask
▪️Invoice and payment reminders

Imagine gaining hours every week to grow your business.
One founder saved 10+ hours with simple tech tools.

Want my favourite apps? 
DM me the automation toolkit.

This isn’t an overload.
It’s smart scaling.

Automation = freedom + growth.

I’m obsessed with automation because it’s leverage that NEVER sleeps.

Naval Ravikant once said there are 4 forms of leverage:

1- Capital: money works while you rest.
2- Collaboration: people amplify what you build.
3- Content: where consumption becomes conversion.
4- Code (Automation): systems scale what you repeat.

Master these 4, and you’ll never trade time for growth again.

𝗣.𝗦. Less busywork, more business. PERIOD.

You’re not bad with money.

But your habits might be.

When I consult with founders to grow their revenue, I tell-

START with a PROFIT audit. 

Because 70% of small businesses have hidden leaks
they DON’T even know EXIST.

Most entrepreneurs think they know their numbers.

But few really do.

The difference between just “GETTING BY” and scaling fast often hides in what you’re missing.

Imagine finding $5,000, $10,000  or more hidden inside your current revenue streams.

Look, you can’t forget
Profit is a mindset
Not a number
Deal?

Ignoring your margins is the fastest way to burn your business down.

A small leak today,
Sink your ship tomorrow.
But, hey… I can help you solve it.

“Your 7-Day Newsletter Helped me increase revenue.” That’s what a founder said. 

DM me; I’ll share the access with you. 

If you want to make $10M in PROFIT, start by creating $10M worth of VALUE for your clients and your team.

Numbers can be intimidating.

But avoiding them costs you your freedom.

Uncomfortable, but only facing your financial blind spots can save your business.

𝗣.𝗦. Same team, same setup- More Money? I’ll go first YES.

Dreams do become reality if you “𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠.”.

I always dreamt about attending one of these events in the USA. And thanks to my family and team’s support, I’m here!!

This is my 13th Tony Robbins event and the 1st one in the States.

8 - Unleash the Power Within
2 - Date With Destiny
1 - Wealth Mastery
1 - Rapid Planning Method Event
1 - Business Mastery

People do ask me why I attend the same event so many times.

Well, I may be a slow learner lol 😆

But it also reminds me of the quote:
“𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆.”

Moreover, I am a different person each time I attend the event. Circumstances keep changing, and you have different problems and goals to smash.

Look out for this space. I will be sharing and posting a lot more of my learnings over the next 6 days!!

Discipline looks boring until you see what it builds.

(And by then, everyone calls it luck.)

Nobody claps for you at 5 AM.

Nobody cheers when you say “no” to a weekend plan. Nobody notices the small sacrifices you make every single day.

But one day, they’ll call you “consistent.”
They’ll call you “lucky.” They’ll ask, “How do you stay so motivated?”

Truth is... You weren’t motivated, you were just committed.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned this the hard way:
Success rarely comes from what we do once in a while.

It comes from what we do, especially on the days we don’t feel like doing it.

The results you want are already on your calendar, just disguised as daily habits.

𝗣.𝗦. Do you think discipline matters more than motivation? I'll go first, YES, I think.

What are you willing to GIVEUP to go up (for a short time)?

I’ll share a quick story with you…

I was always intrigued by what it would be like to take a "left turn" and sleep flat in a plane. 

Who do I need to BECOME?

What new skills did I have to learn to be this person who travels business class?

Yeah. There were so many excuses. 

LIKE-

Who pays 4 times to travel in the same plane?!✈ 

It's stupid, crazy and totally a "show off"

Maybe they have millions of points…

THEN

I made a decision. Why not take it as a challenge?

And here it is:
I made a commitment in 2021 that I won't watch any movies or entertainment in Economy until I sit in Business class. 

Well, here's what I did instead:

1. Focused on reading books to hone my HIGH INCOME SKILLS

2. Journaled on what's working, what I need to improve. Created a game plan to blow up the business 

3. Listened to seminars on Marketing, leadership and made tons & tons of notes

And then, after close to 2 years, I finally got a chance to travel in Business class in 2023!

I share this not to impress you, but to impress upon you to challenge your mindset.

When you sacrifice a few things and really start thinking BIG amazing things will manifest in your life.

What is that 1 thing you are willing to sacrifice in the short term to go up in the long term?

Leads aren’t converting.
It wouldn't until you have this.

Many entrepreneurs chase leads
and lose potential clients in follow-up.

When I consult founders,
I start by mapping their client journey.

Because a clear pipeline turns interest into sales.
Every pipeline must have-

▪️Meaningful outreach sequences
▪️Personal follow-ups timed right
▪️Steps qualifying who’s serious
▪️Capture systems that work
▪️Reliable CRM tracking

Imagine a pipeline guiding leads
straight to “Yes.”

No more cold chasing.

One founder tripled conversions after building this system.

Want my checklist and CRM template?
DM me for the toolkit.

Facts inform. Stories sell. 
Your prospects want proof that feels real.

Your customers are your strongest ambassadors.
And a video testimonial? That’s your most powerful sales weapon.

This isn’t accidental.
It’s client acquisition mastery.

Know your process, grow your business.

Is your client pipeline working?

𝗣.𝗦. Without a pipeline, leads are lost. Isn't it real?

They didn’t reply.
They didn’t show up.
They didn’t choose to act.
And that was the ANSWER.

Sometimes people think ignoring, delaying, or disappearing keeps things “NEUTRAL.”
But it doesn’t.

Silence is communication.
And inaction is a decision.

When someone doesn’t respond, they’re actually saying something louder than words ever could.

It might mean, “I don’t care enough.”
Or “I’ve already moved on.”

Or sometimes even,
“I don’t know how to handle this.”

Whatever it means-
It always means something.

In work
In leadership
In relationships

You’ll save yourself a lot of confusion when you start reading silence as feedback.
Because truth doesn’t only come in messages and meetings, it shows up in patterns, presence, and priorities.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned to stop overanalysing mixed signals. Clarity doesn’t always arrive in words sometimes; it arrives in absence.

No action is an action.
No message is a message.
You just have to be brave enough to read it.

𝗣𝗦: Does silence bring clarity, or just more questions?

"WE" is powerful than "I"

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller.

There was once a father who had three sons, constantly fighting, competing, and trying to prove who was better.

Tired of their quarrels...
One day, the father asked them to bring a few sticks.

When they returned, he gave each son a stick and said, “Break it.”
They did- EASILY.

Then he tied all the sticks together in a bundle and said, “Now try again.”

This time, they tried with all their strength… but the bundle didn’t break.

The father smiled and said,
“When you stand alone, you can break easily. But when you stand together- nothing can break you.”

That’s the thing about TEAMWORK.
It’s not just about getting work done faster.

It’s about building STRENGTH you can’t develop alone.

When people work with each other
Not against each other

Egos shrink.
Productivity rises.

And resilience becomes your biggest competitive advantage.

As a leader, I’ve seen both sides:
Teams that compete internally and teams that move as one unit.

The difference in their results?
Night and day.

The best teams aren’t built on talent alone.
They’re built on trust; one small act of unity at a time.

𝗣.𝗦.That's the first glimpse of my TEDx talk.

The biggest gap isn’t in product, pricing, or persuasion.

It’s due to the lack of a clear communication system. 

Most replies sound reactive instead of intentional. When someone messages you with a problem, they want to feel understood before they feel sold. 

If your first reply doesn’t anchor their emotions, clarify their situation, and guide them toward the next step, they naturally drift. Buyers follow the person who gives them the most clarity in the shortest amount of time.

What truly decides whether a conversation converts or collapses is your ability to carry the prospect through a structured journey.

Most people think they lose clients because: The client wasn’t serious. Budget didn’t match. They ghosted me. Market is slow. But the truth is far sim

The Real Reason You Lose Clients After the First Message

Your content is attracting attention.

(But it could attract REVENUE.)

Most entrepreneurs post without a plan.
Random posts yield random results.

When I help founders build authority,
I start with a strategic content blueprint.

Because consistent, expert-led content
pulls ideal clients in like a magnet.

What really works every day-

▪️Crafting stories that connect
▪️Leading readers to take action
▪️Sharing value, not sales pitches
▪️Planning content months ahead
▪️Using prompts that spark interaction

Imagine waking up to comments,
messages, and leads from your posts.

No more guessing “what next.”

A founder doubled inbound leads
with just one 90-day content calendar.

Want to grow your authority?
DM me to grab our blueprint.

This isn’t luck or luck posts.

It’s strategic authority-building.
(Your voice is your business power.)

Until you become obsessed with marketing
Your business will keep struggling in silence.

Are you consistent with your content?

𝗣.𝗦. Expert content attracts clients. Agree?

I wasn't an A student.
Actually, I was more of a C student.

Bottom of the class. Teachers weren't fans.
Low grades in university. Struggled to get good jobs.

And for the longest time, I believed that's all I'd ever be.

Low self-esteem. Low self-confidence.

The story I kept telling myself:
"You won't amount to much."

That belief followed me everywhere.

Until I realized something that changed the game completely:
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁.

Your grades don't define your growth.

Your old failures don't predict your future results.

The version of you that struggled?
That's just one chapter- not the whole book.

The moment I stopped dragging my past into every new opportunity, everything shifted.

From being at the bottom of my class to building what I have today, none of that happened because my past changed. 

It happened because I stopped letting it run my decisions.​

If you're stuck replaying old losses, bad starts, or limiting beliefs, this is your reminder:

Your past earned you lessons.
Not a life sentence.

♻️ Repost if this landed.

The talent you hire shapes the business you build.

But most people look at the cost, not the capability.

For years, companies chased “cheap help.”

Lower rates, lower expectations, lower outcomes.

But the modern advantage isn’t in paying less it’s in accessing better.

Because one high-calibre performer will outperform ten average ones.

Not because of hours…
but because of experience, judgment, and ownership.

And this is the shift smart businesses are making today:

They’re no longer buying labour.

They’re investing in talent that changes the trajectory of the business.

When you bring in people who’ve operated at scale,
the entire system gets upgraded 
your standards, your processes, your thinking.

It’s never about the $5, $15, or $20 an hour.

It’s about the person behind that hour.

The right talent doesn’t cost you.

The right talent grows you.

There are 2 types of sales: one makes you rich, the other keeps you broke.

I made $1M+ with one. But before that? 
I was stuck in the other, working twice as hard and earning half as much.

The difference is- 
Influential selling vs. Transactional selling.

Two weeks ago, I wrote a newsletter breaking down this exact framework. The response was overwhelming. Some of you reached out saying, "This finally makes sense." (Glad you liked; thank you!)

So today, I want to share how you can shift into influential selling and stop competing on price. First, let's be clear on the difference:

Transactional Selling (What Keeps You Broke):
→ You chase every lead like it's your last meal
→ You compete on price, not value
→ You close deals by offering discounts
→ Clients see you as a vendor, not a partner
→ Every sale feels like starting from zero

I spent years in this trap. Cold calling. Following up endlessly. Offering "special deals" just to close. The problem? You're replaceable.

Influential Selling (What Makes You Rich):
→ You attract clients who already trust you
→ You educate, don't persuade
→ Price becomes secondary to transformation
→ Clients see you as an authority, not an option
→ Referrals and repeat business become your engine

I shifted to this model in 2019. And everything changed.
Here's how to make the shift (advanced strategies):

1. Build your "pre-sale" asset library
Create content that educates your ideal client on their problem—before they even talk to you. 

📌Like- case studies, frameworks, breakdown posts. 

2. Position yourself as the category expert, not a service provider
Stop saying "I help businesses with X." Start saying "I've solved [specific problem] for [specific type of client] and generated [specific outcome]." 

📌Specificity = authority.

3. Use the "invite, don't pitch" approach
Instead of asking "Can we schedule a call?", say "I'm opening up 3 consulting spots next month. If you'd like to explore working together, let me know." 

📌Scarcity + confidence = demand.

4. Create a signature methodology
Give your process a name. Package it. Share it publicly. When people see you have a repeatable system (not just "figuring it out").

📌You become the obvious choice.

5. Leverage social proof relentlessly
Every win, testimonial, and case study should be visible. Not bragging proof. 

📌Influential sellers let their results do the talking.

What happened when I applied this:
My average deal size tripled.
My sales cycles have shortened by 40%. 
My close rate went from 15% to 60%+.

And I stopped needing to "sell" clients who came to me pre-convinced.

𝗣.𝗦. If you missed the newsletter two weeks ago and want the full breakdown of the influential selling framework (including exact scripts and templates), drop NEWSLETTER below and I'll send it over.

Which type of selling are you doing right now?

You’re selling to everyone.

(It’s eating your TIME + ENERGY.)

Most people chase 
“anyone who can pay” 

Then they wonder…
Why business feels heavy.

I advise founders on growth, 

I start with one question:

“Who’s your DREAM CLIENT?”

Because without clarity
you market to EVERYONE  
and connecting with NO ONE.

Dream clients (I love to call “BEST BUYERS”) aren’t just the ones who pay you the most; they’re the ones who pay often and stay the longest.

Most believe:
More leads = more sales.

But here’s the truth:

1. Quality beats quantity 
2. Right clients pay premium
3. Wrong clients waste your time.
4. A clear ICP sharpens your message.

Imagine focusing only on clients who truly want YOU.

No chasing.
No convincing.
Just ALIGNMENT.

Stop chasing tire-kickers.

Start serving clients who value your work.

“One worksheet cut my prospecting time in half,” a founder said. Want this worksheet?  

DM me for access to the 7-Day Blueprint newsletter.

This isn’t fluff.  
It’s the foundation of growth.

(You can’t grow what you can’t define.)

Do you believe a defined ideal client makes growth easier?  

𝗣.𝗦. Knowing who you serve changes everything. Agree or not?

You’re trading hours for money.
(It’s killing your growth.)

Most entrepreneurs believe:  
More client hours = more money.

But it’s not about chasing leads 

It’s about structuring 
your offers and impact
so clients can come to YOU.

So, sell transformation, not time.

Here’s what I see working every day in service industry-

Build loyalty.
Ditch hourly trap.
High tickets grow revenue.

Imagine your clients paying premium prices because your offers solve real problems.

No endless pitching required.

When I coach founders on scaling, I tell them: 

Please don’t sell time
Start selling impact.

That mindset shift doubled one founder’s income in 6 months.

Here’s a simple tip you can apply today:  

Bundle your services into tiers:
basic, premium, elite.  

Give clients clear, better value choices they want to buy.

Want the full “Offer Engineering” framework?  DM me for the template.

The real game isn’t just solving problems fast
It’s solving them for the RIGHT PEOPLE

Don’t fall in love with your product or service. Fall in love with your ideal client and the results you create for them.

This isn’t guesswork.  
It’s systematized growth.

(Value grows when time stops trading.)

𝗣.𝗦. You’re paid for skill, not time. Isn’t it?

YOU are spending weeks creating one ad.

(While your competitor tests 20+ variations)

As someone who's scaled multiple campaigns, the bottleneck was never strategy- it was execution SPEED.​

Most marketers know what to test. 
Different hooks, avatars, scripts, angles. 

But coordinating with creators, shipping products, waiting for footage, and managing revisions turns every test into a 2-week project.​

You're stuck choosing between speed and quality. 

Launch fast with mediocre ads, or wait weeks for polished content that might flop anyway.​

I discovered "Arcads(dot)ai" while looking for ways to test ad variations without the nightmare of coordinating with the creator.​

It's an AI platform built specifically for generating UGC-style video ads. 

You write your script (or let AI generate it), choose from 300+ hyper-realistic avatars, and get your video in 10 minutes.​

No product shipping. 
No creator ghosting. 
No waiting.​

The avatars aren't robotic.

They're trained on real human footage with natural expressions and gestures.​

2 things i love about this tool are-

1- Test 10 different hooks in one afternoon instead of one month.  
2- A/B test at scale without logistics bottlenecks.​

𝗣.𝗦. Speed gives you optimisation power. Isn't it?

12 “rules” that almost tanked my sales

and the replacements that built pipeline, trust, and real revenue. 

The breakthroughs came when I stopped selling like everyone else and started thinking like the buyer. 

1- Flaws don’t cost you; hiding them does.
2- Constant outreach burns out sales.
3- Winning every deal can lose you.
4- Value grows; mindset must too.
5- Crowds don’t win; opposites do.
6- Follow-up kills slow, saves fast.
7- Rush closes lose customers.
8- Titles don’t sell; scars do.
9- Pitch less. Qualify more.
10- Saying yes kills profits.
11- Closing hard kills trust.
12- Say no, then say yes.

Sales is full of “rules” that sound good when you’re broke and guarantee you’ll stay there. Here are the worst offenders I heard, repeated, and eventu

12 Beliefs That Kill Sales. And What I Do Instead

Starting something the right way isn’t about following a trend or copying what everyone else is doing.

I used to think success in coaching or business meant hours of grind, endless hustle, and doing what everyone else was doing.

But the truth? 

Most people who “made it” pivoted, experimented, and embraced uncomfortable decisions that others avoided.

It’s scary to start differently. To question the norms. To risk failing when everyone else seems to have it figured out.

But real growth? It comes from doing the hard, scary, and unconventional things.

Not because it’s easy.
But because it’s right for your path.
Courage over comfort. Always.

#BusinessCoach #StartYourJourney #TakeTheLeap #GrowthMindset

You feel stuck in the grind.

Working hard is important, but working smart is essential.

Most entrepreneurs hustle harder, not smarter.
When I help founders scale, we build a CEO growth map.

Focused goals turn overwhelm
into clear, motivated action.

Your CEO plan MUST include-

▪️Growth milestones
▪️High-impact priorities
▪️Delegation strategies
▪️Freedom checkpoints
▪️Measurable quarterly goals

Imagine leading your business
without burnout.

One founder tripled revenue
using this simple plan.

Every great company runs on RHYTHM and  RITUALS 
Even when the founder isn’t in the room.

✅ Each department should have a visible dashboard tracking what truly matters.

✅ You should have a master-board showing the pulse of your entire business, including finances.

✅ And most importantly, build a culture and leadership team that’s incentivized by results, not just roles.

That’s how you create a business that runs without you but never without direction.
Want the one-page CEO blueprint?

DM me the growth map.
This isn’t wishful thinking.
It’s intentional freedom.
Your business, your rules.

𝗣.𝗦. Freedom comes with focus. What do you think?
