✉️ hi [at] niharikasodhi [dot] com

Coming to the 'story'...

I'm a writer. And with that, I also became an educator and entrepreneur.

I side hustled for 10 months in 2020 because something was missing. 

I refuse to believe you shouldn't be kicked to go to work when you wake up. I refuse to believe that you need to reach a certain 'level' to do high-impact work. Labels and designations aren’t exciting either. 

And I strongly believe that there's enough wealth we can all create if we play by the mindset of abundance and not scarcity.

We have a duty to be of service to other people. And we only have one chance at life to tap into our potential and unleash it.

So I quit my job in 2021 to write full time.

That led to:

• becoming a 22x top writer on Medium
• creating digital products 
• having a cohort-based course that's educated 100+ people across 30+ countries 
• getting accepted to LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Program 

As a writer, my purpose is to leave everyone healthier and happier. 

As an educator and entrepreneur, I want to help other creators level up their game and solve their problems.

I'm passionate about healthy living, reading, and mindfulness. I've also travelled to 24 countries and still have fear of flying.

Dear LinkedIn, I’m writing this post with two hearts in me. But by the time you read this, I’ll only have one.

(I wrote plenty of LinkedIn posts to publish after pregnancy with my pregnant-mind thoughts haha)

As I embark on this journey into motherhood as someone who had severe body dysmorphia and was overweight all their life, for the first time…

I’m in awe of the human body.

The strength of a woman.

The body that creates life creates an entire tiny human, which I don’t even know how I will handle.
(I’m so dependent on my mom, I feel I’m a kid myself!)

The past few months have made me respect my mom and all mothers so much more. Creating a life is the hardest thing I’ve been through.

It has challenged me on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
(More on this tomorrow)

But if you’re reading this - go give your mom a hug.

This is me 2 days ago - 20 days after delivering a baby and 16 kgs heavier. 

It’s the latter that’s bothering me. 

While I’m not cleared to workout until 6 weeks postpartum, between burps and feeds I’m reading a lot of 
- Postpartum workout progress 
- Postpartum workout plan
- ‘Bouncing back’ after delivery 

All this while weight loss is the least of my fears! 😏

I’ve already gone down from 85 kgs to 60 kgs earlier. 

I have been working out and eating healthy since the past 11.5 years.

I can 100% go from 79 to 63 kgs again. 

I know how to do and I’m actually super excited to do it because I remember how the journey of weight loss is more fun than reaching a goal weight 😌

I’m writing this because 🧐 the pattern I noticed in my thinking is similar to something I correct when I teach and my students are full of fears and doubts around their writing journey…

1️⃣ We treat others with kindness but forget it when it comes to ourselves. 
2️⃣ The idea of our fears and overthinking it is worse than reality. 
3️⃣ When you talk to yourself, think - how would your friend feel listening to all this? Your mind and body can hear you, treat it accordingly. 

I’m writing this to you today in case you need a reminder to give yourself grace, because that was my learning for this week :) 

Of course - my hormones may be working against me but it is what it is. 

___

PS: yes, being 5.9” and in winter clothes hides 16 kgs well. I’m aware that being tall can be a blessing but my back pain occasionally disagrees 🤣

PPS: SO good to step out for a meal and feel normal after months of hospital visits!

No alternative text description for this image

Exactly zero people have asked me this question, but here’s why I started building on LinkedIn 😂

Firstly, it was random.

I was working at an MNC and writing articles on Medium. So I started sharing my articles.

Then, being my usually positive self, I started posting some positive notes. Sometimes I got 10-20 likes and I felt SO good.

However, I didn’t take LinkedIn seriously until… 2022. 

(I had ~40,000+ followers that time)

Until then, I was just
- Posting what I wanted
- Not using LinkedIn to generate clients
- However, clients still came to me because of my content

But when I started using it right, the game changed.

More on this tomorrow 🙂

DM me with GROW to build your personal brand.

Pregnancy shook me on a level I’d never imagined. I think it's the biggest roller coaster a human body can experience.

Continuing from yesterday's post…

🧠Mentally
- I was trying to be productive and failing
- I was SO angry, and I’m usually a really calm person!

😖Emotionally
- I was in shock for months
- I felt depths of sadness I didn’t know I had the ability to feel
- Had nights where I cried myself to sleep
- Sometimes I’d cry multiple times a day
- Other days, I laughed and laughed so much

💪🏼Physically
- ‘Being tired’ had a new meaning altogether 
- No two days were the same
- The above unpredictability annoyed me 
- Some days, I stayed in bed all day 


(I’m typing this in October’25 at 28 weeks pregnant because I’m writing my thoughts to publish later)

The waves of happiness and lows came in phases.

There’s nothing I’ve experienced that’s as challenging. 

For someone who loves routine and getting things done + thought they were aware and emotionally regulated - this was a humbling experience.

Moving ahead, I’m sure motherhood will teach me a lot.

I just created my most vulnerable piece of content EVER. It's taken me 2 weeks to have the courage to hit publish 🫠 

I haven't felt this scared... or vulnerable, in a very long time.

As always - I try to talk about things that should be spoken about. 

This time, that topic isn't about living an intentional lifestyle or workplace.

My reason for creating this is when I asked my mom: "Being pregnant is so difficult. How has no one addressed this?!"

She replied, "humare zamaane mein aise baat nahi karate the." (Translation: we didn't talk about this in our times).

So I guess it's time we talk about it 🙂

My favourite part about being a solopreneur is the small things, really. Stuff like:

1. It’s so cold in Delhi in winters that I’m in a blanket after lunch and become a burrito. Then I have chai around 4pm and slowly get out. Afternoon siesta everyday!

2. Unlimited family time. No money will ever give me my time with loved ones. It’s why I don’t work for over 3 hours.

3. Working on projects I like and with people I learn from. Life is too short for toxic teammates.

When your soul feels good, life feels better :)

You could be the reason you aren’t getting enough sales. I know you don’t want to hear it, but if you want to print more cash, you should.

Continuing from yesterday’s post… it was ONE person who made me take LinkedIn seriously.

I was in a Summit 21 call, which is a course I conducted back then, and someone asked me, 

“Why don’t you talk about your course on LinkedIn?”

I replied, “Why would I?”

He said, “It took me 7 months to figure out that you conduct this course. It would’ve really helped me if I'd known about it earlier.”

That’s when I realised that my 
- fear of sounding too salesy, and 
- being afraid of selling
…was holding me back from more sales.

And when I started taking LinkedIn seriously, everything changed. I finally had USD five-figure months and worked with some excellent people who I enrolled to learn from me… but I learnt so much from them.

Now, I shamelessly talk about my services because why the heck not?

Sometimes, the bottleneck in your customer journey is your fear.

So would you give more weight to your fear or your bank account? It’s a choice, and I prefer the numbers in my bank acc tbh.

Yes, there is an ‘easy place’ to start a side-hustle. Take it from someone who’s created content on multiple platforms for years.

LinkedIn is the easiest place to start a side hustle because:

- The audience is already in a business mindset. They open LinkedIn for... work, duh.
- You don’t need to build an audience from scratch... they’re already here.
- Organic reach is still generous compared to other platforms (ahem - reels).
- All you need is your profile and a post.

Tbh in my experience, it's the easiest place to grow on. 

It took me MUCH longer to grow on Medium and X!

And no, LinkedIn hasn’t paid me to write this (how I wish!).

I’m writing this purely in public interest because so many people have a big goal for 2026 that fades off my mid-January. So if you’re looking for ‘easy’, it’s this.

I’ve never felt this grateful to be a solopreneur as I did last year when I found out I’m pregnant. I was sick to death.

(As you can kinda see in this photo)

For anyone who’s been through this journey - first trimester can be testing.

It tested me on a spiritual, emotional, and physical level.

I was unable to eat and unable to retain anything I ate. Mentally, I was experiencing depths of sadness I didn’t know I had in me to feel.

The hormonal surge, weakness, sadness…all added up.

And because of the work I do, I was able to do absolutely NOTHING till I felt better. That was 6 weeks of:
- Weakening nausea
- Lying down most of the time
- Dealing with oversleeping or insomnia

My respect for every woman out there who has been through this shot up because I was just a weakling who was getting crushed till my soul.

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about why I think solopreneurship is empowering for women.

Every time someone says, “My LinkedIn views have tanked,” it’s adorable. 

You take one look at their profile. 

It’s not LinkedIn. 

It’s not the algorithm. 

It’s the posts. They lack value. 

More like:

“Here’s what I think”
“Here’s what happened with me”
“Here's what I did last weekend.”

There’s so much ME ME ME 📢  

Who cares about you?

Humans are narcissistic. We only care about ourselves. 

A protocol I follow and teach is -

Before hitting publish, ask yourself - is this valuable for the reader?

If not, hit delete. 

Harsh, but you’ll thank me later.

My definition of wealth changed in 2022.

During my 9-5, I correlated ‘wealth’ to:
• Appraisals
• Promotions
• Better projects
• Getting recognised
• Working with the ‘top’ people

As a solopreneur, I’ve realised that wealth is:
• Owning your time
• Doing  work you truly enjoy
• Having an empty calendar > zoom calls
• Having passive income (I do this via ebooks)

No one definition is better than another, just like we’re not the same people with identical strengths.

We’re all on this blue ball with 71% of water for different reasons. 

While the society tells us to one believe in one definition for everything (especially success, wealth, and relationships), I hope 2026 is the year you find *your definition* of these words.  

Once that happens, I promise that you'll find the joy of alignment with your inner-self.

Woke up to 7000 subscribers and I know you think it’s a small number. 

YouTube is a place where chanels with 100K+ subscribers are common, but here’s something I have always thought of: 

- picture 10 people in a room 
- now picture 7000 people in a room!

For an introvert like me, anything more than groups of 3 is a party 😂 

So I’m grateful for every person who follows me because they invest their limited time on this earth into my work 🙏🏼

And yes - I know I’ve failed to be consistent here. It is what it is, I’m only a writer at heart 😌

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

This is my first month of motherhood, and I caught myself in a thinking pattern similar to my college and corporate days. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

In month 9 of pregnancy, I was dying for the baby to come out already 😅 I had had enough!

Which made me realise how I’m living a lot in the future. 
(I had lots of time to myself, and hence lots of reflections)

Listen...I’m hardcore into visualisation.

During my corporate job, I visualised myself in the mountains working on a laptop. It signified a sense of freedom to me. 

(I don't work on vacations, btw)

After that, as a freelancer, I visualised owning my time and being financially independent. 

I became a solopreneur, and the above happened. 

Now I visualise lots of things I won’t tell you just yet 🤫 

But in the past month, I thought...
How nice it’ll be for this baby to grow quickly and sleep at least 6 hours! 🫠 🤣 

Again, I lost hold of the present. 

Her hands will never be this small again, and she’ll never be a newborn again. 

How silly of me to look at the next step instead of living in the present - 
To cherish this little girl 🎀 

I wish I had lived more in the present 
• during my undergrad, as I was excited to study abroad in postgrad
• only to be unhappy and want to finish my MSc so I can earn money
• to be dissatisfied in my job because I wasn't earning enough, lol

Looking forward to the next step never ends. 

There's always a next step that looks more comfortable, only to look back and wish 
• you hugged tighter
• stressed lesser
• lived fuller 

Finding a balance between visualising + living in the present is what I want to cultivate more in 2026.

PS: Out for my first coffee with a friend, after months!

I don’t visit the gym the first 5 days of the year because it’s crowded by all those who want to get fit. And then, they fade…

It’s why New Year’s resolutions don’t work out.

Personally, I started mine 2 months before the new year so I can
- Get a flavour of it
- Try to be consistent
- Start the new year with a bang

Resolutions aren’t enough; systems are.

Instead of focusing on WHAT you want to do, focus on HOW you’ll do it. And WHY is it important?

That’ll make it much easier to show up consistently.

Promise :)

Someone's LinkedIn content tells you a lot about their personality. I'll show you how you can know someone is insecure.

Insecure folks:
• Shit on others to feel better
• Try to talk down about a segment
• Dwindle around negative content (misery finds company)

So every time I see someone laughing at a segment of people, I figure they're insecure in some way. It's an unhealthy coping mechanism to feel better about yourself by pushing others down.

Secure people
• Write for the joy of writing
• Never crib about the algorithm
• Rise by lifting others and being of service

So next time you read online, you can learn a lot about someone through their content. And it's not their fault because social media does a great job with comparison and making you feel 'less'.

In this hyperstimulated world, I hope you can find balance and attract abundance.

You're designed to win, feel good, and be healthy.

Go on, shine!

Everyone loves saying “new year, new me” 👀

But you and I both know most resolutions don’t survive week 3.

This is why I avoid the gym during the first week of January. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s crowded with people who: 

-  Set a resolution
-  Decide “this is my year”
-  Fall of the wagon by day 10
-  Procrastinate and wait for the next January to start

This is why I stopped setting New Year’s resolutions a while ago. 

Because I know those who are truly committed don't need the calendar’s permission to change their life. 

Setting a resolution is not enough. 

You need a system to ride the wave of your new habit till the end of the year. 

In tomorrow’s issue of Side Hustle Saturdays, I’m dropping the prompt you need to:

➡️ build a system you actually stick to throughout 2026
➡️ stay consistent without depending on motivation
➡️ actually follow through this year

Join 14,000+ readers here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/gy6UnjRQ

Two important things you shouldn’t apologise for at work:

- Saying no to extra hours
- Prioritising your health 

Personal story: I had a colleague call me at 10 am once, even though work didn't start until 11:30 am. I was in the middle of holding a yoga pose. 

I thought it was urgent and called back. She called me to ask me to email her something. 

What a bummer. I stopped picking calls out of working hours thereafter (something which wasn’t appreciated).

Remember - You’re NOT paid for sacrificing well-being and working like a machine. You’re paid for 8h/ day. 

Literally everything can come and go, but health first, ALWAYS. 

That’s there to stay forever… and no amount of money can fix it once it goes down.

Quick check-in: We’re 9 days into 2026. Are your goals moving or already slipping? Be honest 👀

Every January looks the same:

New goals. Fresh motivation. The internet throwing 20 ‘life-changing’ routines at you.

The part nobody talks about is:

You can buy every template on the internet and still live the same year on repeat. That’s why most resolutions die by February 🙁

What matters is the foundation: your mindset 🧠

This is the slippery slope most people fall into. 

But you don't have to be one of them. 

Tomorrow, I’m sending out the 12-month blueprint to reinvent yourself to the 14,000+ readers of Side Hustle Saturdays. 

This one’s for you if you want to:

➡️ Stay consistent beyond January 2026
➡️ Stop reliving the same year again & again
➡️ Do the inner work that actually moves your life forward

If you’re looking for a sign to stop sleepwalking through another year…

Join here  👉🏻  https://lnkd.in/gy6UnjRQ

If you want to make something of this one life, do this and I promise you’ll be a different person in 12 months.

1. Learn about an abundance mindset. The scarcity one is holding you back from success.
2. Find your ikigai; it will give you a direction and purpose to follow.
3. Know + embrace yourself, then capitalise on your strengths.
4. Find your negative belief systems and you’ll realise you’re a powerhouse of potential when you fix them.
5. Spend more time with people you love, they won’t be alive forever.

I know it sounds simple. 

But when you’re aware of the above and work on rectifying the gaps, all areas of your life will begin to prosper.

If I had to give my 22yo self corporate lessons, it would be this:
(this could trigger those in higher designations - sorry not sorry)

- Only a few colleagues are your friends; give yourself time to figure that out instead of opening up too quickly.

- Your company will replace you in a day, so try to be damn good at your job.

- Always have a second income source, it may feel like work right now, but your future self will thank you for it.

- The senior folks may enjoy ego games, but you have a life and shouldn’t stoop as low. 

- Don’t stop being fit and prioritise your health over everything else. You don’t want to be another manager with a potbelly.

- HR is to save the company, not you.

Honestly, I only followed the one around ego games and being fit.

Everything else was a lesson learnt later.

I want a bigger audience.

That instinct feels logical.
It is also where most brands lose their voice.

Here is what usually happens.

A founder starts posting with a clear point of view.
The message is clear. The audience is small but engaged.

Then growth becomes the goal.

They stop being clear.
They stop saying what they really think.
They only share what feels safe.

Everyone listens. But no one feels it is for them.

A message loses meaning when it tries to please everyone.

The brands that last choose a different path.
They speak to a very specific person.
They repeat the same idea from different angles.
They become known for one thing.

It feels slow at first. Almost invisible.

But something intresting happens.

The right people feel understood.
They save the posts. They share them.
They come back without being asked.

That is how momentum actually starts.

A small audience works because people understand you better first.

It gives you:

• People who remember you.
• A clear idea of what you do.
• Real trust.
• Others talking about you.

Anyone can get attention. 
But very few earn trust of their audience.

When you speak to everyone, your words lose power.
Real growth starts by helping the right people.

Focus on the few who care.

Most brands fail for one simple reason.

They skip this step.

Posting more without clarity only adds noise.

This is step 3 in my brand-building process.
And this is exactly how it is done with every client.

Quick recap.
Step 1 was choosing one clear customer.
Step 2 was deciding the real result that customer wants.

Only after that does brand work begin.

Step 3 is brand clarity.

This is where everything slows down on purpose.
I sit with the client and work through three simple questions.

1. What do you do.

Say it in one simple line. 
What problem do you fix.

If it takes more than one sentence, it is not clear yet.

2. Who is this for.

One type of person.
Someone with a real problem right now.
Not everyone.

When this is unclear, your message goes everywhere and lands nowhere.

3. Why should they choose you.

Not because you are kind.
Not because you work hard.

One clear reason.

When people choose a brand, they look for one main reason. Not many.

That is why great brands focus on one thing only.

It is usually one of these:

Speed
→ You help people get results faster.

Clarity.
→ You make things simple and easy to understand.

Certainty.
→ You help people feel confident in their decision.

Less risk.
→ You help people avoid mistakes, stress, or loss.

Trying to be all four makes the brand blurry.
Choosing one makes it easy to remember.

This is where I guide my clients.
I help them choose the one thing their customer cares about most.

Once this is clear, everything gets easier.

• What to post.
• What to say.
• How to explain your work.
• How people describe you to others.

Content stops feeling random.
Selling stops feeling pushy.

Because people finally understand you.

When clarity is missing, visibility spreads confusion.
When clarity is present, the brand is easy to remember.

P.S. Quick exercise. 

Finish this line, without thinking too much: 

I help __________ people get __________ result by doing __________. If this feels hard, step 3 is not done yet.

Most brands fail for one simple reason.

They skip this step.

Posting more without clarity only adds noise.

The #1 thing I do when building a brand for a client.

Most people make this mistake when building a brand.

They confuse two people.

→ The client and the client’s customer.

When I work with a client, I separate them on purpose.

First, I define my client.

Their service. Their strengths.
What they can actually deliver well.

Then I step away from my client completelty.

So next, I define my client’s customer.

One real decision-maker. Someone with a job to do. A problem to fix. And risk if they make a wrong decision.

I write this down in simple terms:

What happens if things fail?
What stresses them at work?
What result they are expected to deliver?
What they want to feel after making the right choice?

Then and only then do I reconnect the two.

I draw a straight line between the customer’s problem and my client’s service.

This means I take one problem my client's customer is facing and show how my client's service helps fix it.

I focus on 3 things only.

1. Relief.
What stress disappears when the service is in place.

2. Results.
What improves in the customer’s work or life.

3. Certainty.
They should know what happens next and feel in control.

This is where brand clarity comes from.

When the client and the client's customer are mixed together, the message sounds like self-promotion.

It explains effort instead of impact.

When they are clearly separated, the brand sounds helpful. Relevant. Worth listening to.

This is slow work.YES. 
But it saves months later.

Great brands are not built by saying more.

They are built by being useful to the right person, consistently.

Most people make this mistake when building a brand.



Your reputation is built when nobody is watching.

Most people think reputation is built from big moments.
Promotions. Announcements. Wins that look good on paper.

That is the visible part.
The invisible part does the real work.

Reputation forms in moments that feel forgettable.

A delayed reply that still shows care.
An honest answer when silence would be easier.
Owning a mistake instead of explaining it away.

No one claps for these moments.
But people remember them.

They remember who stayed calm under pressure.
Who told the truth even when it was hard.
Who treated people well with no one watching.

That memory stays.

Weeks later, a name comes up in a conversation.
Someone asks, “Can we trust them?”

You are not there to explain.
Your past behavior answers for you.

That is how reputation works while you sleep.

This is where many brands get it wrong.

They focus on content first.
But content only creates attention.

You can rewrite a post. 
You cannot erase how someone felt after dealing with you.

Reputation grows quietly in the background.
One decision at a time.

So here is the real question worth sitting with.

If someone remembers this moment years from now,
would it still reflect well on you?

That is how you build trust. That is how brands last.

Your reputation is built when nobody is watching.

Most people think reputation is built from big moments.

This quote changed my life.

Discipline is a form of self-respect.
Order in life creates peace in the heart.

Everyone wants peace.
A calm mind. Less stress.
More control.

But few want the structure that creates it.

Discipline is not punishment.
It is care for your own soul.

Think of two group of people with the same life.

Same work.
Same pressure.
Same responsibilities.

One lives in constant stress.
The other feels calm and grounded.

The difference is not talent. It is order.

The disciplined people simply show up everyday.

They keep their word.
They wake up on time.
They control reactions.
They use time on purpose.

They are sending one clear signal to themselves.

My life matters.

That belief changes behavior.
And behavior, repeated daily, creates peace without forcing it.

A disciplined person does not wait for motivation.
They move because they value their own life.

And when life has no structure, the mind feels heavy.
Thoughts feel noisy. Stress takes over.
Peace slowly leaves.

But when life is in order, it does the opposite.

It creates space to breathe.

It looks simple:

• Prayer done on time.
• Work done with focus.
• Habits kept in balance.
• Rest taken without guilt.
• Words spoken with limits.

Nothing extreme. Nothing chaotic.

Just aligned with yourself.

And when your actions match your values that alignment creates peace.

Most people chase peace by avoiding responsibility.
Peace comes from honoring it, every single day.

P.S. Where could more order remove noise from your life?

This quote changed my life.

Discipline is a form of self-respect.
Order in life creates peace in the heart.

Everyone wants peace.
A calm mind. Less stress.
More control.

But few want the structure that creates it.

Discipline is not punishment.
It is care for your own soul.

Think of two group of people with the same life.

Same work.
Same pressure.
Same responsibilities.

One lives in constant stress.
The other feels calm and grounded.

The difference is not talent. It is order.

The disciplined people simply show up everyday.

They keep their word.
They wake up on time.
They control reactions.
They use time on purpose.

They are sending one clear signal to themselves.

My life matters.

Marketing used to reward the loudest voice.

Now it rewards the most helpful one.

A founder launches a new offer.
The product works. The price is fair. The team is capable.
They post daily with big promises.

But nothing moves.

Another brand enters the same market.
Same product quality. Smaller audience. Clear message.

They explain the problem first.
They name the confusion people feel.
They share one clear idea that saves time or stress.

People stop scrolling.

Not because the offer is better.
Because the message is clear.

Here's what most people do not get it still. 

One brand says buy now.
People scroll past.

Another brand explains the problem.
People stop scrolling.

When people feel respected, they lean in.
They read slower. They trust faster.
They remember you long enough.

This is why pressure burns brands over time.
It wins attention today and loses belief tomorrow.

Helping compounds quietly.

It looks boring on the surface.
No hype. No drama.
Just steady clarity showing up again and again.

Real marketing done right tells a simple story:

Someone has a problem.
They feel stuck or unsure.
You understand it clearly.
You explain it simply.
You offer a next step.

No tricks required.

Here is what most businesses need:

• When you teach, people listen.
• When you clarify, people relax.
• When you respect, people open up.
• When you help without selling, people remember you.

If your content lowers stress, it builds trust.
If it adds pressure, it creates resistance.

One question worth thinking about.
Does your marketing make your customers life easier?

Help first. Explain second. Offer last.
This order changes everything.

Marketing used to reward the loudest voice in the room.

Now it rewards the most helpful one.

Most products fail because they explain too much.

Think about Slack.

Nobody adopted it for channels or integrations.
Teams adopted it to stop drowning in emails.

Think about Uber.

Nobody cared about maps, routing, or driver dashboards.
They cared about getting home without stress.

This is how real positioning works.

People do not buy features.
They buy progress in a moment that matters.

That is where positioning actually starts.
With the job someone needs done right now.

Most companies get this backwards.
They lead with tools. But customers are stuck with problems.

Great brands do something different.

They always follows this pattern:

• One clear job.
• One frustrating moment.
• One promised outcome.

Good products explain how they work.
Great products explain what life looks like after.

Then features stay in the background.
They support the story.
They do not lead it.

Too many features confuse people.
One clear job makes them feel calm.

When Notion grew, they did not say blocks and databases. They said one place for your work and your thoughts.

That is why people remembered.
That is why people shared.
That is why demand followed.

If someone cannot explain your product in one sentence,
the market feels confused, not curious.

Most buying decisions are emotional.
Logic shows up later to justify the choice.

Think of a friend who explains things clearly.
That is why you listen. Brands work the same way.

Notice the difference next time you buy something.
It will change how you position everything you build.

Most products fail because they explain too much.

Trust is the real currency in 2026.

I'm not talking about attention or reach or followers. Those are easy to get now.

A brand can grab attention fast with loud posts. Big claims. Clever hooks. 

People will watch. People will react. 
You will gain followers. 

For a moment, it looks like progress. Often it is not.

Because attention without trust does not convert. 
It only entertains.

But when you focus on building trust first.
Now you're palying a different game.

Trust grows when words stay consistent over time. 
It grows when actions back the message. 
It grows when the same standards show 
up on good days and quiet days.

No shortcuts. No sudden shifts.

That is why two businesses can get the same attention, and only one wins. One feels reliable. The other feels noisy.

When you build trust with your audience, everything changes. 

Marketing feels easy, not stressful.
Sales feel like a conversation, not pressure.
Growth grows step by step, not fast then falling.
People come back without you chasing them.

People remember how you show up.
They also remember when you cut corners.

Keep it simple. Be patient. Be clear. Be present. 
Attention gets people in but trust makes them stay.

Trust is the real currency in 2026.

Not attention. Not reach.
Not followers. Those are easy to get now.

A brand can grab attention fast with loud posts. Big claims. Clever hooks.

Most businesses feel tired for the same reason.

They are tired because their heart is confused.

Not because work is hard.
Because the reason behind the work is unclear.

When someone does not know why they're doing 
what they're doing, every task feels harder.

The mind starts questioning. The heart starts resisting.
Energy leaks before the work even begins.

That feeling has a name.
Inner resistance.

It does not look dramatic.
It looks normal.

It shows up as delay, fear, boredom, and excuses.
Not because the work is wrong.
Because the purpose is missing.

Without purpose, the mind keeps fighting the task.
The heart does not fully agree.
So the work feels heavier than it should.

When purpose becomes clear, 
and you know why you're doing 
what you're doing, something changes.

The work does not get easier.
But it feels lighter.

The heart understands the reason.
The mind stops fighting the effort.
The body follows with less struggle.

You stop questioning every step.
You stop doubting every effort.

You understand that the work has meaning.
You see where the effort is going.
You accept the struggle as part of growth.

This is why two people can do the same work.
One feels drained by the end of the day.
The other feels calm and steady.

The difference is not strength.
It is clarity about why the work matters.

When the reason behind the work is clear, effort does not disappear. The resistance disappears.

And when resistance is gone, progress stops feeling forced. It starts feeling natural.

Real brands are built when nobody is watching.

The market rewards patience more than noise.

They real brands are built on ordinary days.
The days nobody claps. The days the post gets ignored.
The days sales move slow and motivation feels missing.

That is the unseen world of building a brand.

A real brand grows there.

In how you show up when nobody is watching.
In how you speak when you are not trying to sell.
In the standards you keep when cutting corners looks easier.

You can't build something meaningful in couple of weeks. It takes months of repetition. Years of choosing the long road. 

Daily decisions that feel small but compound quietly.

A strong brand quietly says:

• This is who I serve.
• This is what I believe.
• This is the work I am proud of.
• This is what I will not compromise.

You might grow slowly.
You might grow fast.
That part does not matter as much as people think.

What matters is this.
Why are you building it.

If you are not clear on why you do this work, pause.
If you do not know who you are trying to help, pause.
If money is the only reason, pause.

Not because money is wrong.
Because money alone cannot carry you through the every seasons, only purpose does.

Yes, sometimes you need income.
Yes, sometimes you must take work to survive.
That is real life.

The brands that last ask hard questions early.
Or they ask them later, when ignoring them costs more.

Here is the part most people miss.

The unseen work always shows up later.
In trust.
In loyalty.
In buyers choosing without persuasion.

That is how real brands are built.
Quietly.
Patiently.
When nobody is watching.

The goal is not fast visibility.
The goal is being chosen without convincing.

Don't you agree?

Real brands are built when nobody is watching.

Working harder is not the real problem.

Working without meaning is.

Effort alone never creates peace at work.

Two people start the same job.
Same role. Same pay. Same hours.

Five years later, their lives look very different.

One feels calm and steady.
The other feels tired and restless.

Not because one worked harder.
Because they worked for different reasons.

One person worked only for income.

→ Every task felt like weight.
→ Every delay felt personal.
→ Every result felt temporary.

The other worked to serve, learn, and build.

➡️ Progress felt meaningful.
➡️ Pressure stayed manageable.
➡️ Results lasted longer.

Same work. Different mindset.

Money is what you get at the end.
Peace comes from being clear on why you started.

When the reason is only money:

• Work feels tiring.
• Stress shows up fast.
• Decisions feel rushed.
• Success never feels enough.

When the reason includes service and growth:

- Focus improves.
- Work feels steady.
- Results last longer.
- Effort feels worth it.

Someone said it best: Actions are judged by intention.

Now a days, you will only hear about results.
That is why many people earn well but feel empty.

So let money be the result.
Not the reason you wake up.

Before you start working again, pause and ask:

1. Who does this help.
2. What problem does this solve.
3. Who benefits from this work.

When the intention and reason is right, work stops draining you. Even slow progress starts to feel rewarding.

Working harder is not the real problem.



Working without meaning is.

Marketing is a long game, not a viral moment.

Real growth compounds slowly and last longer.

Most brands do not fail because of bad products.

They fail because they stop too soon.

Many companies chase one big win.
One viral moment.

For one week, numbers go up.

→ More views.
→ More likes.

Then it stops.

Think about brands you trust.

Apple did not grow from one launch.
Nike did not grow from one ad.
Coca-Cola did not grow from one post.

They showed up again and again.

• With same message.
• With same feeling.
• With same promise.

Slowly, people felt something simple.

This brand is safe.
This brand is steady.
This brand will not disappear tomorrow.

That is how brand build trust with customers

Life works the same way.

- You trust a doctor you see often.
- You trust a shop you visit many times.
- You trust a brand you keep noticing.

Not once. Many times..

Marketing works the same way.

Think of it like making a friend.

A viral post gets people to notice you.
Showing up often gets people to remember you

When people remember you,
they start to trust you.

When they trust you,
they feel safe choosing you.

When they choose you,
your business grows.

Playing the long gam eis not easy. 
It does not look exciting at first.

It builds memory in your customer's mind about your brand.

And when people are ready to buy,
they choose the brand they remember.

That’s the game worth playing.

When I start working with a client.

This is the first question I make them answer. 

And this is also how I stop my clients from posting random content.

This is my Step 2 of building a brand for my clients...

After step 1, defining the customer.

- I do not touch content.
- I do not talk about platforms.

I do this ONE thing.

→ I focus on defining the job my client's brand is hired to do.

Because people do not buy brands.
They hire them to get a result.

So this is what I do with every client.

I ask one simple question.

What must change for your customer after choosing you.

• Not what you sell.
• Not what you are good at.
• Not what you want to be known for.

→ The outcome.

I ask all my clients this: 

What must change in your customer’s life or business after choosing you.

• Do they feel clearer. 
• Less stressed.
• More confident. 
• More in control.
• Able to decide faster.

Then I turn that answer into one simple sentence.
If it cannot be explained to a child, it is not clear enough.

This step decides everything that follows.

➟ Positioning.
➟ Messaging.
➟ Content.
➟ Offers.
➟ Platforms.

Because when you are clear on what job your brand is hired to do, every decision you make becomes easier.

1. You know what to say.
2. You know what to ignore.
3. You know where to show up.

If this step is skipped, the brand feels unclear.
If this step is clear, the brand feels focused.

This is how I help my clients.

I help them find the real job their brand is hired to do.
Then I build everything around that job only.

P.S. Quick exercise.

Finish this sentence.
After choosing me, my customer gets ___.
