✉️ 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 quit my eCommerce startup with 100+ employees. Then got depressed, developed an eating disorder, and got a minimum-wage job in a bank. I now work for myself and make 7-figures writing.

I'm not that smart and have no college education. The way I used the internet made the difference.

And going to a Tony Robbins event changed my mindset. He taught me to go from being a victim to be in control.

This led to:

• 1B+ content views
• Financial freedom
• Book deal with a major publisher
• Meeting my heroes (like Tony Robbins)
• Quitting my banking career forever in 2021
• Multiple successful businesses fuelled by obsession

My mission: Help 100,000 people start online businesses. 

My beliefs that drive everything I do:

- Anything is possible
- Positivity above all
- Ego is the enemy
- Challenge the status quo
- Chase obsession, not passion
- Always be kind, grateful, and a good person

How can I help you?

If you need 36 interviews to make a hiring decision, you don't know what you're looking for.

The best candidates won't wait for your corporate theater.

━━━━━

Friend just withdrew from a Google process after round 12.

4 months. 12 interviews. 6 take-home projects. 3 presentations.

They offered him 10% less than his current role.

He took a startup offer instead. 2 interviews. 1 week. 40% raise.

━━━━━

The hiring circus exposed:

Round 1-3: "Getting to know you" (Could be one conversation)
Round 4-6: "Technical assessment" (Should take 2 hours max)
Round 7-9: "Culture fit" (You mean politics?)
Round 10-12: "Final stakeholders" (People who won't work with you)

It's not thoroughness. It's incompetence hiding behind process.

━━━━━

What long interview processes mean:

• Nobody wants to make a decision
• Everyone's covering their ass
• The role isn't clearly defined
• Too many cooks, no chef
• They're hoping you'll drop out so they don't have to reject you

Companies that can't hire efficiently can't operate efficiently.

━━━━━

I hire in 2 weeks. Always.

Day 1: Phone screen (30 minutes)
Day 3: Real conversation with me (1 hour)
Day 5: Meet the team (90 minutes)
Day 10: Final decision

That's it. No committees. No consensus building. No theatrical performances.

Success rate? 85%.

━━━━━

The top talent timeline:

Week 1: They're interested
Week 2: They're engaged
Week 3: They're questioning your competence
Week 4: They're interviewing elsewhere
Week 6: They're gone

Every week you waste, your competition gets stronger.

━━━━━

Real story from last month:

Candidate had 8 offers. EIGHT.

The companies with 2-week processes got her attention.
The companies with 6-week processes got ghosted.

She chose the company that respected her time. Made $300K first year.

━━━━━

The interview marathon red flags:

• "We need buy-in from everyone" = Nobody owns anything
• "Just a few more stakeholders" = Endless politics
• "One final round" (for the third time) = Disorganized chaos
• "Take your time with this project" = Free consulting
• "We're being thorough" = We're terrified of decisions

Run. These companies are where careers go to die.

━━━━━

Here's what actually matters in hiring:

Can they do the job? (One technical interview)
Will they fit the team? (One culture conversation)
Do they give a sh*t? (You'll know in hour one)

Everything else is corporate masturbation.

━━━━━

To every hiring manager:

Your 36-interview process isn't finding better people. It's filtering out anyone with options.

You're not being selective. You're being stupid.

The best people have choices. Respect their time or lose them.

━━━━━

To everyone in interview hell:

A company that takes 6 months to hire takes 6 years to promote.

Find companies that move fast. They're the ones actually going somewhere.

What's the longest interview process you've endured? 👇

Most bosses manage your output. The rare ones manage your potential.

One builds careers. The other builds empires.

━━━━━

Had 2 bosses in the same year. Same company. Different universes.

First boss: Tracked my hours. Reviewed my work. Gave me raises when HR approved them.

Second boss: Introduced me to CEOs. Pushed me into speaking gigs. Fought for my promotion when I wasn't even asking.

Guess which one I still text on holidays?

━━━━━

A boss who actually gives a sh*t does things differently:

They don't ask "What did you accomplish today?"
They ask "What do you want to accomplish in life?"

They don't manage your calendar.
They manage your trajectory.

They don't protect you from failure.
They ensure you fail at things worth failing at.

━━━━━

The VP who changed my life did 3 things no other boss did:

1. Told other companies about me (while I worked for her)
2. Connected me to her competition
3. Said "You're going to outgrow this role. Let's plan for it."

She knew I'd leave eventually. She accelerated it.

I've sent her millions in business since.

━━━━━

Bosses who don't care about your future:
• "That's not your job"
• "Stay in your lane"
• "You're not ready"
• "Be patient"
• "We'll revisit next year"

Bosses who do:
• "You should meet..."
• "Have you considered..."
• "I nominated you for..."
• "Take my spot at..."
• "You're ready for..."

One keeps you small. The other makes you unstoppable.

━━━━━

Real conversation with my best boss:

Her: "You're going to quit in 18 months."
Me: "What? No, I'm happy here."
Her: "You will be. But not in 18 months. Let's make sure you leave for something incredible."

She was right. Left after 20 months. For a role she helped me get.

━━━━━

The compound effect of a boss who cares:

Year 1: They teach you their job
Year 2: They introduce you to their network
Year 3: They push you toward bigger things
Year 5: You're running something they helped you build
Year 10: You're hiring their other protégés

Every great leader has this tree of success beneath them.

━━━━━

The test for whether your boss cares about your future:

Ask them: "Where do you see me in 5 years?"

If they say "Right here, killing it!" - they care about themselves.

If they say "Running your own division, maybe your own company" - they care about you.

The answer tells you everything.

━━━━━

To every manager reading this:

Your job isn't to keep your best people. It's to prepare them for what's next.

The ones you develop will build your legacy.
The ones you trap will destroy your reputation.

Be the boss people thank at their IPO.

━━━━━

To everyone with a boss who doesn't invest in you:

They're not going to change. You are.

Find someone who sees your potential and fights for it

Your career is too short for bosses who keep you small

9 uncomfortable career truths people lie to themselves about:

━━━━━

1. A salary won't make you wealthy

Your $200K salary? It's keeping you comfortable enough not to quit.

Meanwhile, the guy making $60K with three rental properties is building actual wealth. The freelancer with equity in 5 startups. The consultant who owns her business.

Wealth = ownership. Your paycheck is designed to rent your time, not build your empire.

━━━━━

2. Your boss doesn't care about your career growth

They care about their quarterly bonus. Their next promotion. Their ass staying covered when sh*t hits the fan.

I had 7 bosses in 10 years. Know how many checked in after I left? Zero.

Your growth threatens them. Your success makes them nervous. Your potential reminds them of what they gave up.

━━━━━

3. Company loyalty is a dumb decision

25 years at the same company? Congrats, you left millions on the table.

Job hoppers make 50% more over their careers. While you're waiting for that 3% annual raise, they're getting 30% bumps every 2 years.

Companies are loyal to shareholders. Not you. Act accordingly.

━━━━━

4. People go to jobs cause they don't know what else to do

"I love my job!" No, you love the security of not having to figure out your actual purpose.

━━━━━

5. Most people have no idea what their passion is, so they lie

"I'm passionate about supply chain optimization."

Really? That's what you dream about? That's what you'd do if money didn't matter?

Passion isn't found in job descriptions. It's discovered by doing sh*t that scares you.

━━━━━

6. Hours worked has nothing to do with value created

I worked 80-hour weeks for 5 years. Know what I accomplished? The same as the guy who left at 5 PM sharp.

One good idea in the shower beats 20 hours of busy work. One strategic "no" beats 100 tactical "yeses."

Time in chair ≠ value delivered. Stop confusing motion with progress.

━━━━━

7. Job titles are meaningless. They're just ego

Vice President of Nothing Important. Senior Director of Bullsh*t Nobody Cares About.

I've met "executives" who can't execute anything. And "junior associates" running entire departments.

Titles are participation trophies for adults. Cheap ways to make you feel important without paying you more.

━━━━━

8. You're not entitled to a raise, promotion... or anything

The market doesn't owe you sh*t. Your company doesn't owe you sh*t. Your boss definitely doesn't owe you sh*t.

You get what you negotiate. What you have leverage for. What you make yourself irreplaceable for.

Expecting fairness in business is like expecting honesty in politics.

━━━━━


9. Most of the stuff you buy keeps you tied to a job

That BMW lease. The house that stretches your budget. The lifestyle you can barely maintain.

You're not working for freedom. You're working to pay for sh*t that imprisons you.

Simplify your life. Watch your options explode.
