The GPS never says "you made a mistake". It says "recalculating route". 
That's what ambition should look like. 

Last year, I had to slow down and take detours.

But it was ok because I knew I was still moving.

(And move I did- literally)

I made the extremely difficult decision of moving back to my home country after:

- securing that elusive work visa
- achieving an Imperial College Master's 
- running 2 successful solo consulting businesses 
- spending 8 years alone, 4,000 miles away from home

When I came to the UK aged 18, I-

Wanted to "make a man" of myself. 
Wanted to grow, challenge and improve. 
Wanted to achieve financial stability and independence. 

I learned from some incredibly successful people, sometimes far younger yet far 'bigger' than me. 

I worked and hammered YESs to every opportunity, just so brilliant people would keep me around and allow me to learn. 

So here I am, checking in my suitcases full of their work ethic, demeanour, tenacity and skill.

For sure, moving back means un-doing some things I worked hard towards,

But in the grand scheme of things, it's all still in the spirit of ambition and growth.

Taking a step back so I can leap forwards. 

Recalculating route.

Head of Strategy and Content @Kurogo | We create thought leaders through personal branding | 300+ Personal Brands Built

The time we had to fire a client…(not clickbait)

Here’s the backstory:

- Client comes on wanting to create a personal brand
- Objective: “win my new business leads”
- Outcome: 4 months in, no results 

And don’t get me wrong:

The work was top-notch. 
The delivery was perfect. 
The client was buzzing. 

There were 0 complaints, pushbacks, problems. 

But we still put our foot down. Why?

Their business was too early in its journey. 

Barely a functioning website. 
Several re-brands along the way.
Multiple changes to the strategy and content. 

The business didn’t know what it wanted to be yet- and I didn’t see that changing soon. 

So I texted Sam I wanted to put down the rabid dog.

We did the right thing and let them go.

Marketing can’t fix or create a business. 
Content alone won’t bring you your first customer. 
Sometimes, the best action you can take is none at all. 

Now, we thoroughly assess prospect readiness before kicking off campaigns. 

Because the last thing we want to do is make a quick buck at the cost of a new business’ precious capital.

When you create something new, you remove yourself from the competition.
You become the only choice - not just another option.

And that's what positioning is:

1. Create something that does not exist
2. Claim it as your own

Most people try to compete in a crowded room. A "Red Ocean".

They see what is working for others, copy it, and hope to stand out.

Bad move.

Here is the real playbook:

→ Find a niche that is empty or underserved.
→ Frame it in your own words. Give it a name. Make it yours.
→ Claim it by sharing your unique point of view again and again.

Now you are not in the “better” race. 
You are in the “different” race. 
(Hint: different always wins.)

Want to become irreplaceable? 

Stop talking about how you are better. 
Start showing how you are different.

Btw, you don’t need a fancy framework. You need:

→ A clear promise that says what you offer.
→ A source of proof that you are credible.
→ A unique mechanism, POV or personality.

Remember: the most valuable brands are not the best at what everyone else does. 

They are the best at what only they do. A category of One.

This week, have a think about what your category is.

So... I ghosted everyone for New Year's. My bad.

Turns out moving is still the worst thing you can voluntarily do to yourself. Spent the last week surrounded by boxes, a lot of chores, and way too much bubble wrap. 

But I'm finally unpacked (mostly), and ready to rejoin the land of the living. 

She's back. She's so back.

What did I miss? Fill me in – I've got about a week's worth of scrolling to catch up on. 

Also happy new year to everyone. Let's get the bag!! 

PS: My new house :) Grateful.

I don’t do resolutions, but I do have habits I want to build, some goals I want to take home. A big one for this year is waking up early.   

Since time immemorial, I’ve had a sleep schedule of an white guy except I live and operate from India lol. And I don’t “need” to stay awake till 6 in the morning for the fun of it. 

So since I have moved to a new place I have been casually waking up at 7 like it’s nobody’s business lol. And I’m loving the thrill that comes with it. Thinking about all the worms I’m going to eat as an early bird. (sounded funnier in my head) 

So here are a few things I’m trying that helps me wake up on time- 

- Having a simple winding down routine. I journal. 
- Warm lights on after 8. White lights really test you lol. 
- Not scrolling the phone to compensate some “me” time

That’s it! 

Oh and my cook arrives at 7AM so I gotta wake up, so strong motivation. Covered all the bases.

There was a time you could write a basic rags-to-riches post and get 500 likes. 

But today, the playbook has flipped on it's head. 

So, if your content strategy looks like 2X-TOFU, 1X- MOFU, 1-BOFU, listen up. Throw it out of the window, it ain't working anyway.  

3 new rules of the land:   

- Linkedin now values niche discussion. Are you creating content that people in a specific niche would like to talk and have a discourse about? Would they share it with their team? Generic posts are more likely to be suppressed. 

- How much time are people spending around your content aka dwell time. This should be high. Use engaging formats like videos, lead magnets, carousels. 

- Comments >>> Likes. Therefore, content that generates more engagement will win. Think posts giving away insane value, and also has a lead magnet people can comment to receive. 

What are you observing on LinkedIn right now?

2026 predictions for LinkedIn- 

> Ads all the way. Since the organic reach is down we’ll see more personal brands do ads. 

> Non-AI content. I alone scroll past 50 posts because I see some classic AI formations. I deeply believe human content will be a moat this year. 

> Videos are sooo backk! 

> Infuse your personality. Give people something to chew on. Bland content keeps you forgettable. And the accounts banking on AI slop virality they’re going to stop working too. 

> Engagement is more powerful than ever. Spend genuine 45 mins to 1 hr on the platform connect with people, share your thoughts in other’s comment section, check who viewed your profile, talk to them. 

> The unstructured content. One that feels like someone wrote while having their morning coffee. Not perfected to the T.
