Solopreneurs making over $10K/mo don't need to add. They need to eliminate. I help with that. • Bootstrapped $3M agency owner • Creating custom (and easy) systems is my love language. ☕

What if the reason you’re earning less is because you’re hustling too much?

I help agency owners, solopreneurs, and freelancers scale with flow…and here’s why I do, because the way you and I were taught to scale is a trash fire of complexity, meaningless work, and servitude to clients we should have never signed to begin with.

THE ORIGIN:

In year 7 of our agency, we hit $1M ARR, hit Global Top 1000 in digital marketing, and I burned out…twice.

In 2022…

— I got on 21.8 hours in meetings per week
— Had some panic attacks and slept 2 hours per night
— Thought I was going to die on an airplane

In 2023, I was desperate for change so I…

— Sent one email that eliminated 75 hours/month in meetings
— Kept it simple (no outreach, ads, or hiring)
— Upsold existing clients and improved retention

THE RESULT:

In short, I accidentally discovered a better way.

→ 70 hour weeks turned into 8 hour weeks
→ 21 hours/week in meetings turned into 2 hours/week
→ $1M ARR turned into $2.5M ARR 12 months later

THE MINDSET SHIFT:

Hmmmm…..

Maybe doing more to earn more is bogus.

Maybe saying yes to everything (and every client) PREVENTS us from creating the life we want.

Maybe our business is calling the shots instead of us.

THE NEW PATH:

I fell into coaching in 2024 kicking and screaming.

Y’know why?

Anybody can learn something, market it well, and teach it…having only done it for themselves.

THE DELUSIONAL GAME CHANGERS:

But the truth is…scaling with flow, not hustle, has helped dozens in the last two years.

Like:

Jacob P.
STARTED: $20K/mo + 8 hrs/day in meetings
NOW: 3-day work week, a few meetings a week, $40K+ months consistently

Luis T.
STARTED: 20% close rates on monthly payment plans
NOW: Closing a few pay in fulls every month, building a cabin in the mountains

Kevin R.
STARTED: Tied to Slack, overwhelmed, alone, $50K/mo
NOW: Looks at messages twice a day, more family time, hit $100K/mo

And dozens more.

I’m on earth to help people scale with flow, on their terms, and make it fun again.

If you want to learn more, just head to [autonomymodel.com] and decide if you vibe.

Otherwise, follow along with me here.

WHY STICK AROUND?

Because I share it all. Good, bad, ugly.

No gatekeeping. No influencing.

Thanks for being here.

And if you want to see something specific from me, drop me a message and tell me what you need.

I read every message.

Halfway through this new coffee recipe and it's tops...

Turmeric Golden Latte

1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp espresso concentrate (I've been using Jot for 4 years now)
8 oz hot milk (dairy or non)

Here's my new approach to LinkedIn.

It's a corner table in a coffee shop.

When I hop on here, it won't be doctored up or perfected posts.

It'll be me sitting, with my coffee, while my kids aren't asking me to watch a somersault.

Today's value: try something new.

I usually rock an iced latte everyday but the snow outside said, "Switch it up."

And I'm glad I did.

Just because it's winter, you're locked in your home office, and you're at the stage of life where you're not taking an expensive trip every 3 months doesn't mean you can't have a meaningful experience.

Read a book that's outside the norm (I'm reading about Hygge)

Try a new coffee you haven't had (the recipe's up there)

Send a random note to someone in your phone you haven't contacted in over a year (I just spoke to Paul Pirie after 2+ years and it was F'ing delightful).

This is the kind of stuff I love to read. So I'm going to write it.

Learning LinkedIn as a super skill | Sophomore at Northeastern University

I’m a 21-year-old entrepreneur building an AI-powered startup to fix what we are not taught.

As a student, I saw a recurring gap — students had potential, but lacked the tools, confidence, and systems to convert it into careers. So I launched Degree2Destiny to bridge the space between education and employment, blending AI with mentorship and real-world skills.

In just 8 months of full-time operations, we've impacted 3000+ students through our CAN model (Communication, AI, Networking). I’ve spoken at the Grace Hopper Celebration, mentored 30+ peers as a  teaching assistant and built workshop programs now run across India and the U.S.

My next milestone? Scale D2D to impact 1 million students, become revenue-positive by year one post-grad, and launch our digital platform to help every student build their career with AI, not just a degree.

If you care about the future of education, youth empowerment, or want to collaborate on bold ideas — I’d love to connect. Let’s reimagine what student success can look like.

Anjali Laddha

Everyone told me to drop out to be a “real” founder.

That staying in college meant I wasn’t serious.
That you can’t build something meaningful unless you burn the boats.

I didn’t buy it.

No fixed campus.
No one country.
No clean timeline.

And still, the company got built.

My version looked like this:

📍 2022 | London
First year of college. Different country. Different rules.

📍 Summer 2022 | India
Where Degree2Destiny was born.

📍 2023–2024 | Boston
Studying while building. Learning what work actually feels like.

📍 Mid-2024 | Boston + D2D
Running a company full-time while on co-op and still enrolled.

📍 Early 2025 | Back to college
Not quitting. Choosing to finish.

📍 2025 | India
8 months of family, festivals, and building in real time.

📍 Now | US → India
Final semester. Then back to India to go all in.

Yes, I missed things.
Yes, it was messy.
Yes, it was harder than “just dropping out.”

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Dropping out isn’t bravery.
Staying in isn’t fear.

Quitting college doesn’t automatically make you a founder.
And staying doesn’t make you any less of one.

You don’t need a dramatic exit to build something real.
You need consistency, conviction, and the ability to live in the grey.

The hybrid path exists.
It’s slower. It’s quieter. It’s real.

If you’re being told you’re “not serious enough” because you didn’t drop out,
maybe you’re just serious in a way that doesn’t trend on the internet.
