TFA’s mission is to enhance the present and future economic well-being of its clients and representatives. 

Baby Boomers are retiring every day.

The average baby boomer believes $300,000 is sufficient enough to retire on.

Do you think that's enough money? But before I answer that, here's my story:

I was on track to be a Chemical Engineer till 2020. But when I graduated, I was distraught with what the job requirements were. Putting myself first, I completely decided to quit the track.

No plan, no job in sight. I started to panic.
 
That's when my mom sat me down and told me to list the things I'm passionate about. Turns out personal finance and education were the top two on my list. Not shocking, considering I always had a passion for how money works. 
 
So, I started doing research for jobs in financial services. My goal was to implement my passion for financial education for everyone. 

Since then I've helped countless individuals, families, and business owners make easier financial decisions for their future.
 
Services I provide:

1. Portfolio Planning
2. Budget Creation
3. College Funding
4. Debt Reduction 
5. Retirement Planning 
6. Proper Protection
7. Tax Efficiency
8. Investment Allocation



What makes me different:
- Keeping you accountable to your goals
- Creating simple yet effective strategies
- Establishing a personal relationship
- Yearly reviews accounting for changes in goals and income

So to answer the question above, $300,000 is not enough money to retire on, in my opinion. But that's where I come in. 

If you want to learn more about how my clients are pursuing their financial goals, let's have a quick chat :)

Omkar Shinde

The Trump administration is proposing 50-year mortgages.
Most people think 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 the problem. 
It’s actually much deeper.

In my opinion: a 50-year mortgage isn’t good or bad.
It just exposes how financially unprepared most of you are.

Yes, logically, there are real benefits:

→ Lower monthly payments.
→ More cash flow month-to-month.
→ Easier approval for first-time buyers.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch:

→ You build equity painfully slow.
→ You pay interest for 20 extra years.
→ Total interest could potentially double.

As an Advisor and Real Estate investor myself, the mortgage isn’t the issue.

Financial illiteracy is.

Because if you're financially literate can use a 50-year mortgage to:

→ Free up cash flow.
→ Invest the difference.
→ Build wealth faster than they pay interest.

But if you've never made good money decisions:

I'm willing to bet you'll still buy a home you can’t afford.

So a 50-year mortgage alone isn’t dangerous.
Using it blindly is.

In the right hands, it’s leverage.
In the wrong hands, it’s a trap.

And that’s the real message here.

You can’t win a financial system you don’t understand.

I create efficient tax plans and investment strategies for Sales & Software Employees making $200,000+ | DM me “W2” for an intro call.

A 7-day trip to visit my sister in SD taught me something crazy:

The problem isn't your income. The problem is what you do with it.

San Diego isn’t cheap.
Flights, food, coffee runs, gas, Ubers, dinners, and all the “let’s just stop in here real quick” moments add up fast.

But the crazy part? I swiped my card like I was a Kardashian.

Not because I’m careless, I hope not....
but implementing cash flow management makes every dollar feel lighter.

Each $ that I spent had a job:
"To be spent for my joy in San Diego."

When you have a system, you stop asking:
“Can I afford this?”

and start asking:
“Is this what I allocated for?”

And that’s the difference you'll never experience.

→ Travel fund? Already filled.
→ Investments? On autopilot.
→ Bills + fixed costs? Covered.
→ Guilt-free spending money? Set aside intentionally.

So when I was in San Diego...

eating at The Taco Stand, walking Sunset Cliffs, spending time with Arya —
the only thing I focused on was being present.

Not the receipt. Not the cost. Not the guilt.

Because cash flow management isn’t about restriction.
It’s about maximum impact with minimum stress.

People think wealth is about making more.
But it’s really about getting the most out of what you already earn.

Making more is great, keeping more is better.

And when your money has a job before you spend it,
you get to enjoy moments like this — fully, freely, and without stress.

That’s the real ROI of a system.

At 19, I dreamt of living a life that nobody in my family ever lived.

So God gave me opportunities to create the one I'm living today.

At 21, I decided to get into financial services.
I had no credibility, but it put me in rooms that changed my future.

At 23, I left corporate.
Walking away from a steady paycheck was scary, but betting on myself forced me to grow.

At 24, I bought my first house.
Not just for shelter—but to learn leverage, equity, and freedom.

At 27, I chose to move back to Colorado.
Closer to family. Closer to roots. Aligned with who I am today.

None of those choices were easy.
Each came with doubt and fear.

But each built on the last.

And that’s how dream lives are made.
Not in one leap.
But in a series of decisions, backed by the discipline to keep showing up when it gets hard.

Many of you have what it takes to change your lives.
Maybe not in a year, but in 5 for sure.

You can’t create a new life while clinging to your old habits.
Neither can you build freedom if every decision made is based on fear.

If you want 2026 to look different than 2025,
it starts with one decision.

And then another. And another.

Your dream life isn't handed to you overnight,
it’ll show up because you were disciplined enough to build it.

Every single time the mountain gets steeper, I remind myself:

What a privilege it is to carry the stress and pressure of the grind when it’s on the path that brings me the most joy.

That’s the kind of stress I’ll choose every single time.

And I hope you do too.

Social media shows the 1% of the 1%.
 
Here's why you shouldn't believe everything you see on your screen:
 
What social media has normalized:

• Millionaires at 18. 
• Always flying private.
• Making $75,000/month.
• Living a iShowSpeed lifestyle.
 
That's fewer than 1% of people in the US. 

Why compare yourself to them? 
 
The vast majority of millionaires:
 
• Are 50+ 
• Fly economy 
• Have money tied up in assets 
• Live frugally and spend time with family 
 
Why not strive to be one of them? 
 
Remember:

99% of the time, wealth is boring and slow. 
 
If comparing yourself to the top 1% doesn't motivate you...

Take the safer route instead. 
 
You'll still achieve your dreams.

As of today, I have $10,748 in credit card debt.

I could pay it off, but I choose not to. Here’s why:

Because not all debt is bad.

Most people hear “credit card debt” and immediately assume irresponsibility.
But here’s what they miss:

→ That balance is on a 0% APR promo
→ The money I could’ve used to pay it off?
It’s working harder elsewhere

→ Being deployed into cash-flowing investments
→ Earning more than the interest I’m being charged (which right now... is zero)

This is what most people never get taught:

Bad debt drains you.
Credit cards at 22%, high-interest loans, buy-now-pay-later traps.

Good debt buys you time, leverage, and flexibility.
Used correctly, it accelerates wealth.

I’m not saying go rack up cards.
I’m saying—understand the strategy.

Paying off everything ASAP might feel good emotionally...
But it’s not always the smartest move financially.

The goal isn't to avoid debt at all costs.
It’s to learn which debt builds and which one buries.

Because the difference?
Could be the reason someone stays stuck at $80K/year…
While someone else builds a million-dollar net worth off the same salary.

I house-hacked my primary residence.

Here’s how it ruined my life.

I bought into the dream:
Real estate would be my golden ticket.

I wanted to:

• Diversify my investments.
• Build long-term wealth.
• Borrow against it.
• Generate passive income.
• Leverage it to grow my portfolio.

But the shiny object syndrome got me.

Here’s the reality no one tells you:

Real estate isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s WORK.

• Ensuring you’ve got the right insurance to protect your investment.
• Setting up the right systems for smooth operations.
• Coordinating financing that’s anything but simple.
• Finding tenants who don’t destroy the place.
• Dealing with constant wear and tear.

I underestimated all of it.
I thought it would be easy. I was wrong.

Don’t let the “passive income” buzzwords fool you.
There’s nothing passive about the grind that comes with real estate.

I learned the hard way that you cannot skip preparation:

• Have a plan that’s airtight.
• Build a safety net that can handle surprises.
• Think two steps ahead, not just about your goals, but about the risks.

But here’s what I’ve come to understand:

We all make mistakes.

It’s so easy to feel like you’ve failed when things go wrong.
I’ve been there, staring at the mess I made, wondering how I’d fix it.

The truth is: even the biggest mistakes can be untangled.

This experience didn’t break me. 
It pushed me to grow, to rethink, and to do better.
I’m not perfect, but I’m learning, and I’m moving forward.

If you feel like you’ve made a mistake you can’t come back from—know this:
You’re not the first, and you won’t be the last. You’re not alone.

What matters isn’t the mistake.
It’s how you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and take that next step.

And I know you can.

Just because I’m an advisor doesn’t mean I pinch pennies.

Here are 4 unusual things I happily pay a premium for:

The older I get, the more I realize something my 21-year-old self never understood:

Money is a tool. 
I used to look at it like a trophy. 

The more commas I have, the cooler I am.

But now I use it intentionally to buy back the two things that actually matter to me: time and mental peace.

1. Credit Cards

Not just for the points — for the peace they buy me.

→ Lounge access during long travel days.
→ Concierge services that save me hours.
→ TSA Pre and Global entry to skip long lines.
→ Travel protections I use more often than I’d like.

2. Watches

Yes, for the hype — but also because they retain value.
The kind you enjoy daily, that hold appreciation, and eventually get passed down.

It’s one of the rare “luxuries” that doesn’t punish you for liking nice things.

But also tells people what your time is worth.

3. Personal Development

Coaches, courses, mentors, masterminds.
I’ll invest in all of it.

One lesson can save me years.
One perspective can add six figures.
One conversation can change how I operate.

I’m buying the blueprint from someone who's already living my life.

4. Convenience

Fast passes, upgrades, same-day delivery, detailing — all of it.

Because saving $18 while losing an hour of sanity is the worst trade you can make.

Convenience isn’t laziness.
It’s clarity: spend where it expands you.

Most people try to save their way into peace.
Believe me, my parents did.

But you'll come to a point where:

Spending intentionally creates more time, more serenity, and more energy for the things that actually matter.

I met with a 55-year-old couple last week.

They’ve paid off their home and rentals, but have $0 outside of real estate.

And this is exactly why I don’t like real estate.

On the surface, they looked “set.”

→ No mortgage.
→ No rental mortgage.
→ Two properties fully paid off.

But when we talked about retirement, everything changed.

They had no liquidity.

→ $28,000 in Bank of America Savings.
→ $3,600/m in rental income.
→ $17,000 in Crypto.

They went all-in on real estate thinking it was their ticket to freedom.

But even with no debt you still need actual cash flow to retire.

And here’s the part most people never think about:

→ You can’t sell a bedroom to buy groceries.
→ You can’t pay medical bills with home equity.
→ You can’t fund 25 years of retirement with “a house that's paid off.”

Real estate felt safe.
It felt familiar.
It felt like the “smart and traditional” path that everyone online talks about.

But it wasn’t a plan.
It was a bet.

And like most people, they didn’t ask for help until it was almost too late.

Not because they didn’t care but because real estate gives you the illusion of security.

They thought owning two properties meant they’d be fine.
But here’s the truth they learned the hard way:

Real estate may build wealth...
but it doesn’t guarantee retirement.

Not without liquidity.
Not without diversification.
Not without a plan that actually produces income you can live on.

So if you’re banking your entire future on “just owning rentals,” ask yourself:

Will those walls and windows really pay your bills when the paychecks stop?

You closed another Enterprise deal that’s gonna pay you $80,000.

But you have no idea how to put it to work.

This is the trap almost every Tech Sales pro falls into.

You grind for weeks...
Push procurement...
Send signature reminders...

And then that commission finally hits.

$48k, $63k, $85k...

For a weekend, you feel unstoppable.
And you think you do all the right things:

→ Pay off the credit cards.
→ Put a chunk towards the mortgage.
→ Budget some for a nice vacation with the spouse.
→ And save the rest because you don't know when the next one's coming.

But now, you're down to $0 and not moving forward financially.

→ Still spending more than you're making.
→ More equity but can't use it for anything.
→ Retirement contributions are stopped for higher base pay.
→ And your CPA forgot to tell you about the tax ramifications.

Here’s the truth:

Making money and multiplying money are two different games.

Without a system:

• Money comes in fast
• Money leaves even faster
• Stress fills the gap

This is the number one problem I fix for Tech Sales reps making $200K–$800K:

→ A % automatically to taxes
→ A % to long-term investments
→ A % to cash reserves
→ A % to guilt-free spending
→ A % to big goals (houses, weddings, vacations)

Once every dollar has a job, the chaos disappears.

Your commission stops evaporating.
Your lifestyle stops controlling you.
Your money finally starts compounding.

Giving you back the freedom you've always wanted.


If you’re tired of watching big checks melt away…

DM me "QUOTA" and I’ll show you how to optimize your checks.

Stop focusing on: 
 
→ Becoming financially free by 27 years old.
→ Starting the next "unsaturated" business. 
→ Investing in Real Estate with $0. 

Focus more on: 

→ Paying for what you can afford.
→ Learning skills to become better. 
→ Consistently sticking to your daily actions. 
→ Prioritizing the best for you and your family. 
 
The reason why long term plans are successful is because of the short term actions.

You're getting ahead of yourself when you think about the prize. 
 
You'll end up: 
 
→ Paying too much taxes. 
→ Taking on too much debt. 
→ Selling investments to pay for expenses. 
→ Making the same mistakes that could be avoided. 
 
Don't fall into the trap of diving right for the result. 
 
Slow down. 

Focus on what you’re building, not just where you’re going.

How often do you get ahead of yourself?

I've never heard anyone say...

"I love the work-life balance at Amazon." 
 
This was the dream presented to me: 
 
• By every university 
• By my parents 
• By society 
 
 They told me to: 
 
• Graduate in Chemical Engineering 
• Go to Medical School 
• Make $$$ 
 
But what they didn't tell me was: 
 
• Work your a$$ off for 20+ years 
• Take on $100,000+ of debt 
• Mental health destroyed 
 
I couldn't do it anymore. 
I just wanted something of my own. 
 
It led me to what I call: Money Media 
 
• Changed fields from Engineering ▶️ Finance 
• Started writing on Social Media platforms 
• Create life-altering financial plans 
• Get paid while living my dream 
 
What you need to realize is, 
Everyone has a unique skill that they can teach, 
 
You just need to discover it. 
 
So take a chance on yourself, 
It'll pay dividends for the rest of your life. 
 
Take this as a sign to take action on what you've been thinking about for so long. 
 
2025 is your year! Make it happen.

America’s sitting on $1,130,000,000,000 in credit card debt.

If you're the average American, you're carrying about $6,730 of it.

I know you're not dumb.
I know you are responsible.
I know you weren't taught this stuff.

Let bygones be bygones.

But here's what I’ll tell you:

Credit cards aren’t the villain here.
It’s the lack of education that screws people over.

Here’s what I wish everyone knew:

1) You can consolidate.
Just because you got every card for it's promo bonus but forgot to pay it off, doesn't mean you should just keep it.

A single balance transfer to a 0% APR card stops the bleeding immediately.

2) Negotiate like Chris Voss.
Lenders want their money back.
If you’ve been paying on time, they’ll often extend your 0% APR window.

I’ve literally watched someone get an extra year from one phone call.

3) Choose your battle
You can’t keep the same lifestyle and expect your debt to magically disappear.
At some point, you gotta choose:
Comfort today, or freedom tomorrow.

4) Stick with it
This is the part people hate.
Because it’s boring.

Automate payments, throw any extra cash at principal, and just stay consistent.

Could you use more income? Yes.
But that's just a bandaid on a wound that needs stiches.

Bottom line is:
You need more knowledge.

Because the real difference between someone drowning in debt
and someone debt-free?

It’s not luck.
It’s not income.

It’s education.

Master this, and consider yourself graduated :)

Your job at Apple and eCom side hustle might impress your friends.

But your bank account? Still dryer than the Sahara.

You’re grinding:

• Crushing it at your 9-5.
• Growing your side hustle.
• Doubling your streams of income.

But here’s the harsh reality:

• Taxes are eating away your profits.
• You’re overworked and under-saving.
• You have no system to manage cash flow.

What’s the point of earning more if you’re not keeping more?

Let’s break it down:

You’re making money from two places,
But your lifestyle and lack of planning are leaving you broke.

Here’s how to fix it:

1️⃣ Track Everything:

Treat your side hustle like a business.
Track income and expenses meticulously—leverage tools like QuickBooks or spreadsheets.

2️⃣ Build a Tax Strategy:

Use deductions, write-offs, and pre-tax contributions to reduce your overall burden.
Your side hustle can help you save if you plan wisely.

3️⃣ Automate Investments:

Set up automated contributions to your 401(k), IRA, and a brokerage account.
If you don’t see the money, you won’t spend it.

It’s not about making more money.
It’s about making your money work for you.

Your dream life doesn’t come from doubling your income.

It comes from doubling your intention.

DM me "INTENT" to start 2025 with the right systems in place.

Don't think "over night".

Instead, think "over time".

Social media sells you a lie:
→ Flip houses and retire next year.
→ Invest in crypto and quadruple your money.
→ Start a side hustle and become a millionaire.

It’s very intoxicating.
The promise of instant success.

But here’s the truth:

 “Overnight success” is always decades in building.

Here’s what actually works:

→ Playing the long game.
→ Focusing on consistency, not hype.
→ Choosing proven strategies over quick wins.

It’s not glamorous.
But it’s sustainable.
It’s how real wealth is built.

Ask yourself:

Would you rather:
→ Burn out chasing quick gains?
→ Or grow steadily, compounding success over time?

Because one path leads to anxiety.
The other leads to freedom.

The shortcut is a trap.
The real wealth is in the journey.

What’s one long-term goal you’re committing to today?

Just like the 90.5 million Americans, I own a pet. 
 
I've spent 5 figures on Zuko so far, here's how: 
 
I love Zuko. He fulfills his duties as a dog: 
 
→ Constant face licks 
→ Excited when I get home 
→ An energetic ball of love and joy 
 
But don't let his adorable smile betray you. 
Because taking care of a dog isn't cheap. 
 
I've paid for: 
 
→ Food and toys 
→ Doggy Daycare 
→ Two hip surgeries 
→ Constant vet visits 
→ Monthly groomer visits 
 
I've spent 5 figures on him. 
Yet, I have no regrets. 
 
How, you ask? 
Because I had a plan before I got him. 
 
Here's what I did: 
 
1. Due Diligence 
→ Talk to the breeder/adoption agency to understand any history that I need to know. 
 
2. Emergency Fund 
→ Have a separate E-fund for Zuko that is used to pay for his expenses. 
 
3. Budget 
→ $200/month goes towards goes toward Zuko for any of his daily needs. 
 
4. Subscriptions 
→ His meds, grooming appts, vet visits etc. are all subscription-based so I can leverage them whenever instead of a one-time big payment. 
 
You may think I'm crazy for spending that much on a dog, 
But he's a priority I'm willing to spend on. 
 
Here's your takeaway: 
Plan for your priorities, let the rest take a backseat. 
 
Your priorities might be different than Zuko, 
But a plan will always help keep that priority important.

The only affirmation that helps me push through the tough times.

"Your mind will take you further than your circumstances ever will."

Most people avoid that truth.
Because it forces you to zoom out... and confront the life you're actually living.

For years, I let my environment shape my mindset.
I let circumstances dictate how far I believed I could go.

I didn’t realize the cage wasn’t around me— it was in me.

Then life hit me with what I now call "my Inner Switch".

An Inner Switch is that moment when:

• You fail at something you thought you were great at
• Someone you trust forces you to rethink your path
• You catch yourself living a life you never consciously chose

And suddenly you realize—
your outer world only changes when your inner world does.

Mindset isn’t motivation.
It’s not clichés.
It’s not the 5am alarms or the inspirational wallpaper on your phone.

It’s the decision to stop living on autopilot.
It’s the intention to build, not just react.
It’s holding the bigger picture when life tries to shrink you.

As Naval Ravikant said:
“The world just reflects your own feelings back at you. Reality is neutral.”

If you see limits, you live within them.
If you see possibility, life expands around you.

So be grateful— not just for what you have,
but for the chance to shape who you’re becoming.

Say the thing you’ve been avoiding.
Start the project you’ve been delaying.

Move toward the person you actually want to be, not the version you’ve settled for.

Your Inner Switch isn’t a feeling. It’s a call to action.

Don’t wait for life to force it.

Flip it yourself—
and watch everything around you rise to meet it.

Exactly 36 days till the last day of 2025.

Time is lost, and if you haven't done anything for your finances this year, do this to get back on track.

Most people don’t realize how much can change in 36 days.
Not everything, but enough to shift the trajectory of your entire 2026.

And yes... even if you’ve ignored your finances all year.
Even if you’ve been “too busy.”
Even if you promised yourself you’d start in January.

So here’s what you can still do before December 31st:

1. Fix your tax bill

• Run your last-minute deductions.
• Max out (or catch up) your 401(k).
• Prep for bonuses + RSUs hitting in Q4.
• Add to your IRA before the window closes.

2. Cash Flow Reset for 2026.

Use AI to evaluate your last 11 months of spending.

• Travel
• Restaurants
• Sneaky subscriptions
• “Treat yourself” purchases

If you don’t patch them now, you’ll repeat them next year.

3. Rebalance your investments

With how wonky the market has been:

Take some wins.
Harvest some losses.
Reposition yourself for 2026.
Switch or implement strategies if needed.

Reach out if you want to get evaluated.

4. Set 2026 goals in 2025.

Most people wait for January to “get organized.”
By the time they do, it’s March.
By the time they act, it’s June.
By the time they feel behind… the year is gone.

Give yourself a real advantage:
Start 2026 on Day 1, not Day 90.

36 days is enough to:

→ Fix your spending habits.
→ Lower your taxable income.
→ Build your investment structure.
→ Walk into 2026 with clarity instead of chaos.

You don’t need to overhaul your entire financial life.
You just need to start now.

Because time isn’t the problem.

Waiting is.

Unpopular Opinion:

You need money to create money.

Here's why:

A 100% return on $100 is $100.
A 10% return on $10,000 is $1,000.

While both returns look attractive, here's the crucial point: 

Scale matters.

10% is attainable, 
especially with a well-thought-out investment strategy. 

But a 100% return? 
That's almost like chasing a mirage—exciting but highly unrealistic for most.

$100 is a great place to start, 
it shouldn’t be where you end. 

Building wealth requires not just an initial investment, but a commitment to increasing that investment over time.

Remember this:
Every dollar you invest today paves the way for your financial future. 

The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow through the power of compounding.

Whether it's: 

• Setting aside a portion of your income, 
• Exploring different investment vehicles, 
• Or seeking advice from financial experts,

the key is to take that first step.

Your financial goals won’t achieve themselves; 

You've got to execute the plan with determination.

DM me "START" if you need that push to get started on the right step.

Ghostwriting and content creation services for real estate professionals

Founder

6-figure Real Estate investor | Teaching busy professionals how to build a real estate portfolio, without investors.

For the last 8 years, I built 2 real estate companies to +$100 000 ARR each, while raising less than $1,000,000.

When in 2022, I read a random online post and was shocked at the power of personal brands

So decided to build my own.

Since then the results were phenomenal.

Writing every day for over 365 days changed my life.

I spend my days building offline and sharing online.

My mission is to be my “Optimised self”

My results and what I am doing:

→ Managing a six figure RE portfolio
→ 100% increase in my audience in 45 days.
→ Building apartment buildings every 3 years.
→ Built a powerful online community of RE professionals

Want to learn more about how I did this (and you can too) ?

Follow me here on LinkedIn.

Have a great 2024 and see you on the timeline.

“LinkedIn is dead.”

Or, do you just suck at using it?

It’s easy to blame a marketing channel for your inexperience and impatience.

Fun Fact:

 Every marketing method works when done well.

You only notice “cringe” sales tactics when it’s done poorly.
When a pro does it - you don’t even realise you’re being sold.

I’ve seen peers crush it with:

• Cold DMs
• Paid traffic
• Organic content

Even door-to-door sales. (yes, still)
(My family does this with businesses and crushes it)

Saying something is dead is a cop-out.

So the next time someone says a channel is dead…

Ask yourself if they really committed to learning it.

Most aren’t.

We're not in a trust recession. 

Here's why people are saying this:

The barrier to entry collapsed.

ChatGPT + Canva turned anyone into an "expert."
They studied Hormozi.
Copied the tactics.

Built impressive offers:

→ Risk reversals
→ $100M frameworks
→ Performance guarantees

But they skipped the hard part of building systems that actually deliver.

(Or, the experience to handle nuanced issues clients may encounter.)

So you get offers that look bulletproof on paper but collapse under scrutiny:

"Guaranteed results!"

(...if you follow 83 steps perfectly, post daily for 6 months, and execute flawlessly on your own.)

The promise is big.
The burden is on the buyer.

Business owners caught on fast.

So they stopped trusting big promises.

They started trusting something harder to fake:

Reputation.

Not fake-able testimonials.
Not fake-able before-and-afters.
A track record of actually delivering. Consistently.

Smart buyers hire based on who is doing the delivery.
Not the size of promise.

DM me if you want to start building your reputation in 2026.

Stop trying to be like Justin Welsh.

Or, you will end like this:

You scroll LinkedIn, see a great post, and think “I can write like that.”

You copy the format, maybe even buy the course.

1)  You follow the system. 
2) 541 days later, you’re near burnout.
3) Doing breathwork. Crying over all the time you lost with no results.

Justin Welsh succeeds because he built content around his preferences being writing, not video.

That’s sustainable for him. 
But it might not be for you.

Content systems need to be built around you and your preferences.

Prefer speaking? 
Record. 

Prefer writing? 
Write.

Love creating, but Hate showing up daily? 
Build evergreen funnels or hire a ghostwriter.

When your system fits you:

Ideas flow faster.
Creating feels like self-expression, not self-destruction.

You don’t need to copy creators.
You need a system built for you.

At the end of the day,

Your content system is the asset.
Not the follower count.
