I've used ChatGPT daily since 2022. Here are 7 prompts that actually generate leads (not just pretty content)

Everyone's using ChatGPT for content. I'm using it to book 5+ calls per week.

The difference? These prompts are engineered for conversion, not likes.

Here's my lead-generating prompt playbook:

Prompt 1: The LinkedIn Profile Analyzer

"Analyze this LinkedIn profile and write a connection request that references their biggest achievement and connects it to how I help [your service]. Keep it under 300 characters." [upload PDF after downloading from LinkedIn]

Why it works: Personalization at scale. I send 20 of these daily.

Prompt 2 The Pain Point Extractor

"Based on this person's job title [title] and company size [size], list their 3 biggest challenges related to [your expertise]. Then write a DM that addresses one specific pain point without pitching."

Result: 73% response rate on first messages.

Prompt 3: The Case Study Converter

"Turn this client result [paste details] into a LinkedIn post that follows this structure: Hook about the specific result → Problem they faced → 3-step solution → Clear CTA. Make it conversational, not salesy."

My Rajesh post? Generated 12 inbound leads.

Prompt 4: The Authority Builder

"Create 5 counterintuitive insights about [your industry] that challenge common beliefs. Format each as: 'Everyone thinks X. The truth is Y. Here's proof: [data/example].'"

These posts position you as the expert who sees what others miss.

Prompt 5: The Engagement Magnet

"Write 10 one-line hooks about [topic] that would make someone stop scrolling. Each should promise a specific outcome or challenge a belief. No generic motivational quotes."

I test these as post openers. Winners get 10x more views.

Prompt 6: The DM Conversation Starter

"Someone just viewed my profile 3 times and works in [industry]. Write a casual DM that acknowledges their interest and offers value without being pushy. Include a soft CTA to start a conversation."

This prompt alone books 2-3 calls weekly.

Prompt 7: The Follow-Up Sequence

"Create a 3-message follow-up sequence for someone who engaged with my post about [topic].
Message 1: Thank them specifically.
Message 2: Share a relevant resource.
Message 3: Soft invitation to connect further."

80% of my clients come from follow-ups, not first contact.

Here's the truth:

ChatGPT won't close deals for you. But it will help you start conversations at scale.

And conversations create clients.

The secret? Stop using AI to sound smart. Use it to connect with humans.

Repost to inspire & encourage others. ♻️

I turned my LinkedIn profile into art using Nano Banana Pro.

Here’s the exact 7-step workflow to do it too (yes, you can steal this👇):

1. Export your LinkedIn PDF 📄
→ Click “More” on your profile → Save to PDF
→ This gives the AI your career history

2. Choose your best headshot 📸
→ High-quality, clear lighting
→ This becomes your portrait sketch

3. Go to 👉 gemini.google.com
→ Click the dropdown menu
→ Select: “Create an Image for Nano Banana”
→ Then choose: “Use Nano Banana Pro in Thinking Mode”

4. Upload your files
→ Add your LinkedIn PDF and headshot

5. Choose your visual style 🖌️
→ Pick: “Watercolor with fine ink lines and soft color washes. Friendly, poetic, human.”

6. Curate your story ⏳
→ List 8–10 key moments you want in your biography panel
→ Example: “2023 – Launched my AI business accelerator”

7. Set your layout preferences 📐
→ A4 Poster or 4:5 ratio (perfect for mobile)
→ Add panels: “Skills,” “Contact,” and “Bio Timeline”

The Result?
A visual resume that speaks.
Feels human.
And positions you instantly as someone worth knowing.

Let’s turn this thread into a mini gallery.

In a world where you can be anything, be yourself

… unless you can be a tiger, then definitely pick being a tiger

- Who cares if someone doesn't like you
- Who cares if they think you are a weirdo
- Who cares if you like to wear short shorts to the office

I get it.

Well, I was a suits-formal kinda guy before … but after WFH, I chilled out and I’m typically in my shorts these days 🩳

I’m a people pleaser. I like making people happy. 

But don’t become someone you’re not just for the sake of “being liked”

You do you. No one does it better. Find your tribe

Here's the brutal truth about AI in 2025:

Most business owners are making 3 fatal mistakes:

Mistake 1: Chasing shiny tools instead of proven systems
→ Result: Wasted time, zero ROI

Mistake 2: Delegating AI to juniors who don't understand the business
→ Result: Generic outputs that don't move the needle

Mistake 3: Going it alone with no roadmap
→ Result: Overwhelm and giving up

Meanwhile, the Top 1% are:

✅ Saving 20+ hours weekly with AI agents
✅ Launching products in 30 days instead of 6 months
✅ Creating sales proposals in 15 minutes, not 5 days
✅ Scaling without hiring more people

The difference?

They have a proven system.

On December 6th in Mumbai, I'm revealing that exact system in an AI session.
Free. In-person. Limited to 50 established business owners.

If you're still running your business like it's 2019, you won't get 2025 results.

DM me "MASTERCLASS" to check if you qualify.

Most people hoard their best ideas.
They think if they give too much away,
no one will pay.

That’s the paradox.

Because the moment you 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦,
you break trust.
And the moment you 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺,
you build it.


Here’s the truth:
People don’t pay you for information.
They pay you for 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

So when you share your best ideas publicly —
you’re not “losing leverage.”
You’re proving you have 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵.

Think about it.

If your free content changes how someone thinks,
they start to believe your paid work will change how they 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦.

That’s why the smartest creators I know
teach openly.
Explain deeply.
And never hide their frameworks behind a paywall.

Because when you show 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 you know,
you become trusted.
And when you show 𝘩𝘰𝘸 you think,
you become indispensable.

Here’s how to do it right 👇

1️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁” — 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 “𝗛𝗼𝘄.”
Give the roadmap, not the ride.
Share principles that make people 𝘴𝘦𝘦 differently.

2️⃣ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵.
Don’t just tell people you’re good.
Share one real example that proves it.

3️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.
Your content should say,
“If this is what they give for free, imagine what they charge for.”

Trust is built in public.
Business happens in private.

Give more than feels comfortable —
because generosity isn’t a loss.
It’s a signal of 𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

And abundance is magnetic.

𝗣.𝗦. Post one of your best frameworks this week.
The one you’ve been saving for your course, your clients, or “someday.”
Give it away. Watch how trust — and opportunity — compound.

Google is building the most complete AI ecosystem in the world. And this time, Wall Street noticed first.

NEWS: Google stock is up 12%+ this week.
 
Most people think it’s because of Gemini 3.0.
 
That’s only half the story.
 
The real reason?
 
Google has activated something bigger:
 
☑ The deepest AI product stack on earth
☑ The most powerful distribution engine in tech
☑ And a native AI layer across everything it owns
  
This isn’t just a new model.
 
It’s a 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵.
 
Here’s What Just Happened Inside Google
 
While most of the world focused on OpenAI…
 
Google quietly rolled out an AI ecosystem that covers:
 
• Models → Gemini, Gemma
• Open-source → Strongest in Big Tech
• Agents → Vertex Agent Builder, Opal, Antigravity
• Creative tools → Veo (video), Nano Banana (images), Lyria (music)
• Native reach → Search, Chrome, Android, Workspace, YouTube
 
It’s not hype.
 
It’s infra.
 
And it’s working.
 
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴
  
Everyone sees Gemini.
 
Few see what surrounds it.
 
Here’s the fuller stack:
 
☑ Gemini (model family)
☑ Gemini API + Gemini Enterprise
☑ Gemini Live + NotebookLM
☑ Gemma (open models)
☑ Veo + Imagen + Nano Banana
☑ Lyria (text-to-music)
☑ Opal (mini-apps builder)
☑ Antigravity (multi-agent IDE)
☑ Flow + FlowCreator
☑ Google AI Studio
☑ Vertex AI Studio
☑ Vertex Agent Builder
☑ Agent Garden
☑ Vertex AI Search
☑ Natural Language AI
☑ Speech-to-Text
☑ Gemini-powered Google Assistant
☑ Project Astra + Project Mariner
☑ Stitch (UI builder)
☑ Whisk (creative remixing)
☑ Google AI Pro / Ultra Plans
☑ Dozens more in Google Labs…
 
No other company has this.
 
Not OpenAI.
Not Microsoft.
Not Meta.
Not Amazon.
 
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀’) 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜
 
A few months ago, I ran everything through OpenAI.
 
Today, Google is taking the lead in my workflows — and here’s why:
 
☑ Better integration with Workspace
☑ Tools that span research, apps, voice, video and agents
☑ Native multimodality
☑ Less switching. More scaling.
 
If you build anything for the web, for teams, or for scale →
 
Google’s tools feel like the right foundation.
 
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁

Expect this in the next 12–18 months:
 
1. Search becomes fully conversational.
2. Android turns AI-first.
3. Workspace becomes agent-native.
4. Gemini becomes the default model for billions.
5. Creative AI shifts to Veo, Imagen, Nano Banana, and Lyria.
6. Google Cloud surges with Vertex AI and Agent Builder.

 
OpenAI may have started the wave.
 
But Google owns the beach.
 
 
If you’re building for the next decade, your AI ecosystem choice matters more than ever.
 

Right now, Google’s is the one I’d bet on.

Let me know which of the Google AI tools you have tried below.

How One Electrical Contractor Reclaimed 60+ Hours a Month Using AI

Ashit Vora used to waste 3 hours a day sorting WhatsApp images.

Now?

He’s saving 60+ hours a month with just 3 AI automations.

Here’s what changed:

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘁

→ Telegram auto-captures site images
→ Sorts them by project + generates Excel logs
→ Saved: 40+ hrs/month

𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

→ No more manual reviews
→ Real-time task tracking + metrics
→ Saved: countless hours & confusion

𝗠𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

→ Exporting 11 Tally files = gone
→ AI maps, formats, adapts in seconds
→ Saved: 1 full week/month

Result?

✅ 30+ tasks removed
✅ 60+ hours/month saved
✅ No more manual errors
✅ Real-time visibility across teams

Ashit said it best:
“Every week we’re finding new ways AI can help us deliver better, faster, safer.”

This isn’t about replacing people.
It’s about freeing them to think again.

➡️ Traditional business? You’re next.
Start with one task. Watch it snowball.

I’m hosting a private AI for Business Masterclass in Mumbai
↳ Jio World Convention Centre
↳ December 6th
↳ Only 50 seats for established business owners

Comment “AI” below and I’ll send you an invite personally.

PS. What’s the one task in your business you wish you could automate?

Most people think they have a 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮.
They don’t.

They have a 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮.

Because trust isn’t built by saying new things all the time.
It’s built by saying the same true thing —
in ten different ways.


One insight.
One belief shift.
One core truth that your audience 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳.

That’s all it takes.

The mistake?
Most creators post it once and move on.
The pros repeat it until it becomes their 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.


Here’s how I do it 👇

1️⃣ 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆
Share the human version first.
The struggle. The turning point. The lesson.
Example: how a client’s clarity replaced burnout with confidence.

2️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲
Condense that story into one key idea.
“Clarity isn’t cosmetic — it’s commercial.”

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
Show the process behind the insight.
For example: how to move from chaos → clarity → conversion.

4️⃣ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳
Post a mini case study that validates it.
People trust what they can 𝘴𝘦𝘦.

5️⃣ 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Turn the same idea into a poll, quote, or question.
“Do you think generosity or scarcity builds more trust online?”


That’s five formats from one insight.
And if you go deeper — video, carousel, newsletter, DM —
you’ve just built 𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 from one idea.

The goal isn’t to be everywhere.
It’s to be 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳.

Because repetition isn’t boring —
it’s branding.

And branding is how trust compounds.

𝗣.𝗦. Go back to your best post this month.
Pull one insight from it and repurpose it ten ways.
Don’t chase volume — chase 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.
That’s how audiences remember you.

𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸: 𝘋𝘢𝘺 15 — 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥𝘐𝘯.

Day 1430 Carousel - How to Turn One Insight Into 10 Pieces

You’re spending too much time on tasks AI can handle. Imagine saving 20 hours a week and boosting your profits by 20%.

Here’s how I did it:

1. Focus on ONE AI tool
   
Hundreds of AI tools exist, but you only need one.
I chose ChatGPT and mastered it.

→ From prompt engineering to building custom GPTs.
→ Now, I’m creating custom AI agents that work for me.

2. Adopt an AI-first mindset
   
Ask yourself every day: How can AI do this for me?
This mindset shift is crucial.

→ Be an AI whisperer and workflows change.
→ It’s beyond automation—it’s transformation.
	
3. Focus on income-producing activities
   
AI isn’t just a tool to save time.
It’s a revenue generator.

→ I launched two products in just 2 weeks.
→ Before AI, this would’ve taken 6 months.

Now? I’m scaling faster than ever.

4. Shift your identity
   
To leverage AI, change how you see yourself.
Consider yourself as someone who is AI-first.
  
→ Before doing anything - ask how AI can do it.
→ It’s not just about learning; it’s about becoming.
	
Implement AI across your business
   
Don’t just use AI in one area.
Spread it across your operations.

→ AI Marketing
→ AI Sales System
→ AI Personal Branding
→ AI Business Planning System
→ AI Powered Time Saving System

The more integrated AI is, the more your results will compound.
AI isn’t the future. It’s NOW.

And if you’re not leveraging it, you’re falling behind.

• How I save 20+ hours weekly with AI
• How to actually implement it in your business

If you’re a coach, consultant, or small business owner…
You don’t want to miss this.

♻️ Repost if you’re ready to simplify your stack.

Most people hide their wins.
They don’t want to sound like they’re bragging.

But silence doesn’t build trust.
Visibility does.

Because every time you share a 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 win - no matter how small -
you’re proving one thing: 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.

The biggest mistake I see?
People only share 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴.

“Hit $100K.”
“Signed 10 new clients.”

Cool. But that’s not what builds belief.

Belief builds when you show the 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀:

• The first lead that came from your new positioning.
• The workflow that saved you three hours.
• The testimonial that reminded you why you started.

Those are the stories that compound.

Here’s why this works 👇

1️⃣ 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸.
Each one tells your audience, “This isn’t theory — it’s proof.”

2️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳.
One story gets noticed.
Ten stories get remembered.

3️⃣ 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆.
People see themselves in 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴, not perfection.

You don’t need to go viral.
You just need to stay 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

Because every genuine win you share
is another reason someone else believes they can win too.

That’s how trust compounds.
Quietly. Predictably. Publicly.

𝗣.𝗦. Don’t wait for a “big result.”
Post one small win this week — and tell the story behind it.
Your audience isn’t inspired by your perfection.
They’re inspired by your 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴.

Why are you still spending 20+ hours a week on tasks AI could handle in minutes?

You've tried ChatGPT. Nothing changed.

Meanwhile, your competitors are automating workflows, scaling content, and closing deals faster.

The gap isn't closing. It's widening.

...

On December 6th, we're bringing it back to Mumbai.

I'm hosting a private workshop at Jio World Centre. 50 business owners. One morning. Zero fluff.

This isn't another AI overview session.

You'll see the 3-Phase Titan AI System in action.

You'll walk out knowing:

✅ The Income-First Framework - Which AI tools to implement FIRST for immediate ROI

✅ Why Custom GPTs and AI Agents are the real game-changers (not just ChatGPT prompts)

✅ Live AI Demonstrations - Watch real businesses using AI to automate marketing, close deals faster, and scale operations

This is for business owners with 10+ years of experience, generating ₹50L+ annually, and ready to implement.

If you're ready to be in the room, comment 'AI' below and I'll send you the registration link.

50 seats. December 3rd deadline.

You'll see where the top 1% separate themselves from the rest.

@Neeraj Shah ⚡️

Everyone’s chasing the big moment.
The viral post.
The six-figure month.
The overnight breakthrough.
 
But here’s the truth:
Trust isn’t built in milestones.
It’s built in moments.
 
Small, consistent, believable wins.
 
 
Big promises trigger skepticism.
Small wins trigger belief.
 
Because when your audience sees you (or your clients)
creating tiny results, consistently,
they start to think —
 
“If they can do that, I can too.”
 
That’s where trust begins.
 
Here’s how to build it 👇
 
1️⃣ Share the micro progress, not just the macro result.
Instead of “We doubled revenue,” try —
 
“We cut our proposal time from 4 hours to 30 minutes.”
It feels real. It feels reachable.
 
2️⃣ Celebrate process, not perfection.
Show your work.
Talk about the tiny system that saved you time,
or the DM that turned into a conversation.
 
3️⃣ Turn every small win into a pattern.
Post them weekly.
Create a rhythm of credibility.
People trust patterns, not promises.
 
 
The market doesn’t reward perfection anymore.
It rewards progress you can prove.
 
And when your audience sees you stacking micro wins,
you become the person who doesn’t just talk results —
you demonstrate them.
 
P.S. Post one small win this week.
Something that took minutes, not months.
Because trust doesn’t grow from what’s impressive —
it grows from what’s real.
 
Tomorrow: Day 16 — The Rule of One: How to Simplify to Amplify.

The world in 2035 → 10 AI mega trends you need to know now

What’s being built in 2025…
Will quietly define how we live in 2035.

Gartner, McKinsey, EU regulators, and Big Tech agree:
The future is already in rollout mode.

Let’s break down the 10 AI shifts reshaping your life:

1. Personal AI becomes your second brain
   
↳ Runs locally on your device, not just cloud
↳ Handles daily tasks with minimal input
↳ Bursts to cloud only when absolutely needed

2. Agents will do the busywork
   
↳ Booking, admin, support = automated
↳ 40% of apps will include task agents by 2026
↳ Agent-to-agent workflows will be standard

3. Many projects will fail first
   
↳ 40%+ of agentic AI initiatives canceled by 2027
↳ Most fail due to unclear ROI + poor controls
↳ First movers must be smart, not just early

4. Robots start clocking in
   
↳ BMW & Mercedes piloted humanoids for factory work
↳ Focus on logistics and repetitive tasks
↳ All under direct human supervision

5. AI is reshaping power demand
   
↳ Data centers may use 945 TWh by 2030
↳ AI servers are the top driver of energy load
↳ Grids will lean harder on clean power

6. Everything gets verified by default
   
↳ Metadata will be baked into content
↳ C2PA standard now has Google, Adobe, Cloudflare
↳ Fake content gets harder to hide

7. Local-first AI becomes normal
   
↳ Apple & Microsoft now push on-device AI
↳ Privacy-first is no longer optional
↳ Cloud becomes the backup, not the default

8. Synthetic data powers most training
   
↳ 76% of enterprise AI spend uses synthetic data by 2035
↳ It’s safer, faster, and scalable
↳ Nvidia’s acquisition of Gretel confirms the shift

9. Governments become AI customers
   
↳ “Sovereign AI” is now a real budget line
↳ National AI stacks are being built from scratch
↳ Enterprise compute demand is surging

10. Jobs won’t vanish—just evolve fast
    
↳ +78M net jobs expected by 2030
↳ GenAI could add up to $4.4T/year to the global economy
↳ But only for those who reskill continuously

2035 won’t wait.
The time to prepare?
Was yesterday.

♻️ Repost to help your network stay ahead.

P.S. Which trend do you feel the most right now?

Most people on LinkedIn are doing too much.
Too many offers.
Too many messages.
Too many audiences.
 
And when you talk to everyone,
you’re heard by no one.
 
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Confusion kills conversion faster than competition ever will.
 
People don’t buy the “most complete” solution.
They buy the 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 one.
 
That’s why the smartest creators and consultants follow what I call the 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗻𝗲.
 
 
1️⃣ 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻
Speak to your 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵, not your entire market.
The clearer your audience, the sharper your message.
 
“I help tech CXOs lead with calm, confidence, and clarity.”
That line hits one person hard — not 100 people weakly.
 
2️⃣ 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺
You don’t need to solve everything.
Just fix one painful, urgent problem better than anyone else.
 
“Helping law firms stay compliant with trust accounting.”
That’s not vague. That’s 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦.
 
3️⃣ 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲
Your content, offers, and profile should all lead to a single outcome.
 
“I help founders attract $10K+ clients through AI-powered LinkedIn systems.”
No fluff. Just focus.
 
 
When you simplify, people finally understand you.
And when they understand you, they trust you.
 
Because clarity isn’t just a communication skill —
it’s a 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮.
 
 
The Rule of One doesn’t make your business smaller.
It makes your message stronger.
And strong messages move markets.
 
𝗣.𝗦. Audit your LinkedIn today. Ask: Am I clear about who I help, what I solve, and what I promise?
If not — start there.

Simplicity scales faster than complexity ever will.

This morning something a bit annoying happened in my building.

I was going down in the lift. It stopped on the 8th floor. A lady standing there put her arm inside to stop the door from closing. But she didn’t enter. She just stood there, blocking the door, waiting for someone to come.

I was the only other person in the lift.

- She didn’t even look at me.
- She didn’t say please wait.
- She didn’t say excuse me.

Nothing.

And I just stood there, waiting. Getting a little irritated. Generally it happens and you wait for 5-10 seconds and thats fine. But when its close to a minute, it gets on your nerves. It’s about basic courtesy.  Then a little girl maybe 9 or 10 years old, came running towards the lift. She quickly entered looked at me and said -- thank you uncle.

My entire frustration disappeared. That one thank you from the little girl showed more maturity than her mother’s silence. The basics of communication and humility.

I have seen this across my work too. Esp in finance, when we talk to business teams, our words matter. We may know more. We may have the numbers. We may feel entitled. But how we say things decides whether people listen to us or avoid us.

Be like that little girl.

#Humility

ex-CFO • Helping you use Linkedin for business & growth

7pm, I was in the office

working on something important

I got a call from my daughter. She urgently needed to speak to me. One of her teacher was leaving the school & tomorrow was supposed to be the last day. She now wanted to buy a gift for her mam and wanted me back home immediately to take her to a shop to buy the gift.

I had to finish this important work but since it was not really urgent I packed my bag and left for home. Upon reaching home, I was welcomed to a change of plan and now she  wanted to gift something which could be self made and hence special.

Decided to make a greeting card, a small hamper box with small little items like chocolate, key chain etc and custom wrap it herself

I stood there with my laptop bag, back home for no reason, leaving behind important work. Yeah in literal terms, my early return got wasted however, something more meaningful happened.

- She knew that I will come when she called
- She knew that I will not let her down
- She knew on change of plan, I will not be mad
- She knew she could bank on me for her work

and that TRUST is a much bigger prize for me than the actual purpose of visiting shop to buy a gift for the teacher.

As a leader many a times- 

- you may not be required
- your team will solve the problem themselves
- you effort will be redundant

BUT still

Be there for your team
Show yourself around

Let them feel 
YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM

Building that trust takes time
over such failed instances 

But still continue being a good leader

We worked late nights when we were juniors.

So now our teams should too.

A few months ago, after my daughter's exams were over, she invited a few of her friends to our place for a night out. Out of the 4 friends she invited, 3 of them came but the 4th one didnt. She wanted to come but her parents didnt allow. Not because it was unsafe. We have had these kids night out at our place many times before. It was because the parents of this child hadnt allowed their elder child such night outs and hence werent allowing the younger one too. 

It reminded me of my early career when some of the bosses used the exact same ploy.


"We worked late nights, so you should too"


Now, I understand parents fear, and I also understand they have the best interest of their child in mind. I am not judging them. What they did was probably right in action. And this post is not to blame them or single them out. The purpose is only to assess, how, unconsciously, this mentality of inherited rigidity is getting passed, especially at workplace. 

When a boss says we worked late nights, so you should too, what they’re really saying is, I suffered, and that gives me permission to make you suffer.

And that’s the problematic part.

The world has changed. Technology has evolved. Expectations have evolved. Even risk profiles have evolved. Yet too many finance teams still operate on an emotional logic from 15 years ago like, if it was hard for me, it should be hard for you too. 

Your job as a finance leader is 

- not to glorify what you endured
- but to ensure next gen doesn’t have to endure that.

#Leadership

I worked as a Finance Controller for about a year. 

On paper, it was a good role. 

- the title was right
- the responsibilities made sense and 
- the pay wasn’t bad either. 

But I wasn’t enjoying the work. And more importantly, I wasn’t enjoying the people I worked with. The environment drained me. And while I knew many people in similar situations who chose to stick around, waiting for things to get better or hoping for a promotion down the line, I wasn’t willing to do that to myself.

So, I made a decision.

I left that role and moved to a different organisation. I joined as a Deputy General Manager, which, for all practical purposes, was at the same level as a Finance Controller. It helped me rebuild the confidence I had lost in my previous role.

Eventually, I got an opportunity to join a much larger global company as a Finance Director. That step changed everything. It gave me exposure, strategic depth, and the kind of leadership challenges I had always wanted to take on.

Looking back, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had chosen to stay. I could have easily spent three or four years in that first role, feeling stuck and miserable, convincing myself that this is just how things are.

In finance, we talk a lot about managing risk. But sometimes, the bigger risk is staying in a place that’s no longer helping you grow.

You have to know when it’s time to move. And more importantly, you have to believe that you will figure it out when you do.

Finally became the CFO.

And within 30 days, was repenting.

One of my clients just got promoted. First-time CFO. A proud moment. But when we spoke, he said, life is more than working 14 hours daily, Gaurav. I take the local train, spend 1.5 to 2 hours commuting each way. I reach office, work non-stop for 10 hours and then head back, exhausted.

I have been doing this for 15 years. And getting the CFO title hasn't changed that. 

What do I tell him? I myself did the same years ago.

4 hours of commute. Barely seeing my kids awake on weekdays. Fighting traffic every morning & evening. The position though sure comes with authority and recognition, but if it doesn’t shift how you experience your day to day life, then what exactly do you gain?

Do titles matter if the quality of your day stays the same?

#CFO #Struggles

If you want people to hire you, they need to see YOU.


For a very long time, I also believed that my work speaks for itself, but it was a lie. I remember my colleague (we both were at the same level), was sent for international projects, applauded at the company townhall and had more friends at work because he was VISIBLE.

→ He was talking to everyone 
→ sharing his ideas 
→ showing up when needed. 

Meanwhile, I was the one negotiating with clients, leading quarterly reviews, fixing broken forecasts and STILL INVISIBLE.

The bottomline is this. 

If people can’t see you, they can’t bet on you.

Silence wont protect your career.

#Visibility

One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do things you have always wanted.
