If you're stuck, burned out, or feel like life’s just become about getting through the week — I’ve been there.

If you're ready to stop drifting and start leading — in your life, work, or business — you're in the right place.

And I know what it takes to change it.

I help people take ownership of their direction, build lasting confidence, and lead themselves toward the kind of freedom most only talk about. Not with hype or hustle — but with real, grounded strategy, clarity, and decision-making power.

Helping people help themselves so they can lead a greater life.
That’s not just what I do — it’s what I live by.

Leadership isn’t about job titles. It’s a mindset — a personal standard. It’s the daily decision to show up, take control, and become someone you trust to lead your life forward.

Over the years, I’ve led teams, built businesses, and authored books like The Growth Mindset Advantage, The Path to Lasting Success, and Breaking the Fear and Comfort Zone. But what I’m most proud of is helping people stop drifting and start leading — with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

If you’re stepping into a new chapter, wrestling with a decision, or simply tired of playing small — I’d love to help you move forward and lead from the front.

Let’s talk. Or just follow along — you might find exactly what you’ve been needing.

Go on, complain again about AI. It will make no difference. AI won't care, nor will the people using it, from individuals through to big business. 

AI is not going away. Whinging like a sook about it will only make you look foolish. 

AI won't make you dumber or lazy. Done right it will improve your intelligence and make you more productive. 

Yes there will be AI slop, but everything can be slop, and you buy it throught Temu. But just because it's AI made doesn't automatically make it slop. 

There will always be a need for human made content. As a former tradesman, there were plenty of times it was quicker to turn up something on a manual lathe then programming a CNC lathe. 

Stop complaining, learn how to utilise AI and make your life easier.

Motivation gets you started. Discipline keeps you going. 

In Part 1, we defined "The Discipline of Time." We looked at the philosophy of treating time as a creature to be stewarded. But knowing the philosophy is only half the battle. The real war is fought on Tuesday morning when you are tired, the emails are piling up, and the inspiration is gone. 

In this sequel, we cover the "Architecture of Consistency." We dive into the advanced Stoic protocols and neuroscience tools needed to maintain your structure when life gets chaotic. This is not about the calendar anymore; this is about the character required to follow it. 

📺 Watch Part 1 Here: https://lnkd.in/g-yF4KfR

The difference between "Planning" and "Executing."

You have the time. You have the focus. So why are you still playing small? Welcome to Part 3 of our series on Discipline. https://lnkd.in/gnE3e5ws

In Part 1, we mastered our Calendar (The Discipline of Time). 

In Part 2, we mastered our Consistency (The Discipline of Focus). 

Now, we face the final enemy: Mediocrity. Most people never achieve their potential not because they are busy, but because they are afraid. We self-sabotage because "playing small" feels safe. In this video, we discuss "The Discipline of Action"—the final shift required to break your addiction to comfort and step fully into the legacy you are building.

In this video, we explore "The Discipline of Time." We move beyond simple productivity hacks to understand that structure and focus are essential to making the most of our days. We discuss how to balance the lessons of the past with the actions of the present to ensure we are living a life rich in both experience and accomplishment.

We have more time-saving tools than any generation in history. So why do we feel constantly rushed?

It’s the Great Paradox of modern work. 🛑
We are surrounded by apps designed to make us faster, yet we are drowning in notifications. As the visual below highlights, our attention hasn't just wandered—it has been hijacked by an attention economy designed to turn our focus into their product.

But there is a way out.
Moving from the "Tyranny of Busyness" to the "Discipline of Choice" isn't about doing more. It's about the power to say NO.
In my book, The Discipline of Time, I explore how to:
 * Stop glorifying the hustle: Busyness is not a status symbol; it's often a sign of shallow work.

 * Reclaim your "Prime Time": The 16 hours between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. are yours. Don't sell them cheaply.

 * Choose Active Recovery: Scrolling is not resting.

Here's how you can build your presence on LinkedIn in 2026.

(By just spending an hour a day on LinkedIn)

You often think writing a post using GPT and posting it will help you build your presence on LinkedIn.

But you are just wasting your time.

The LinkedIn algorithm doesn't favor generic LinkedIn posts.

You need to add your insights. Share content related to your niche.

Share content on how you can help your audience.

Share real insights and they must be applicable.

To do this consistently for a year, you need to have a system and strategy.

System to scale and do quality work in minimal time.

Strategy to use what's working for you.

Once you nail both, you not only have good connections in your network, you will also be getting good opportunities and leads for your business or yourself.

So if you still think it's a waste of time, think twice.


P.S. What's your biggest struggle to grow on LinkedIn?

Founder @Bridgenile Socials | 20+ Brands Served in 2 Years

LinkedIn will change in 2026.

Here's what you need to know.

I just watched Ishan Sharma's conversation with Jessica Jensen, LinkedIn's Chief Marketing Officer.

She shared what's actually going to work on LinkedIn in 2026.

Here's what stuck with me:

Video is no longer optional.
Over 70% of B2B buyers are now millennials or Gen Z. They consume video all day, every day.
Video consumption on LinkedIn is growing double digits every quarter.

If you're not using video, you're invisible to most of your potential clients.

But make it short, engaging, with a strong hook and a clear call to action.
Authenticity beats selling every time.

Jessica said something powerful: "People smell things that are inauthentic."
Stop sounding like a business robot. Speak like a human.

The content that works connects with people both intellectually and emotionally.

Your headline matters more than you think.
If it just says "Finance Manager," you're not discoverable.
Be specific. Be interesting. Show what makes you unique.

Engagement is the real algorithm.
LinkedIn values meaningful engagement. Not "Great post!" comments.
Real, thoughtful contributions. Responding to your own comments. Being an active community member.

LinkedIn is rethinking work.
200 million people now make their living as creators. LinkedIn has 1.3 billion users and India is their second largest market with 167 million members growing at 20%.

It's not just about full-time jobs anymore. It's about opportunities, side hustles, learning, and exploring new paths.

Be real. Use video. Engage meaningfully. Be specific.
Your unique perspective is what makes you stand out in 2026.


P.S. Video Link is in the comment section.

"You'll never make it work”, ”Stop wasting your time”, 

These weren't words from strangers on the internet.

These were words from people I loved. My close ones. 2 years ago.

When I decided to start my service business.

Everyone has an opinion. Everyone has advice.

But none of them are the ones taking the risk.

Deep down, I knew, If I failed, nobody was going to lift me back up. It would just be me. Alone with my decision.

But I also knew: If I succeeded, it would be because I believed in myself when nobody else did.
So I took the chance.

I showed up. Every single day. For 2 years.

Some days felt impossible. Some days I questioned everything.

But I kept going.

And now,
The same people who doubted me now ask me how I did it.
The same people who said "stop wasting your time" now say "I'm proud of you."

The hate turned into curiosity. The criticism turned into respect.

Not because I proved them wrong. But because I proved myself right.

Here's the truth about starting something new:
People will doubt you not because they don't believe in you, but because they've never seen it done before. Your success scares them because it reminds them of their own unfulfilled dreams.

But their fear is not your responsibility. Your dream is.

So if you're sitting on an idea right now, waiting for everyone to support you before you start, you'll be waiting forever.

Start anyway. Believe anyway. Keep going anyway.

2 years from now, you'll either have results or regrets.
Choose results.


"Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality." - Les Brown

I've been stuck at 8,798 followers for the past 3 months.

I gain about 60 new followers every week.

But my follower count stays the same. (Why?)

LinkedIn keeps removing profiles from my account.

This has been happening for the past 11 months now.

Most of the profiles being removed are inactive accounts. People who aren't even using LinkedIn anymore.

Part of me thinks it's actually good. I'd rather have engaged followers than ghost accounts.
But honestly, It's frustrating.

At the start of this year, I set a goal to hit 9,000 followers.

I'm still not there.

But then I realized something:
Follower count doesn't matter if you're not actually connecting with people.

What's the point of 10,000 followers if none of them know who you really are?

What's the point of a big audience if you never have real conversations?

So I'm trying something different this month.

I want to have networking calls with 2 of my connections.

Not to pitch anything. Not to sell anything.


Just to talk. Get to know each other. Share what we're working on.

If you're interested, DM me. I'll send you the link and we can set something up.



P.S. Who's up for a quick networking call this week? Let's actually connect.

Growing on LinkedIn isn't complicated.

It's just consistent.

Most people think you need some secret strategy or viral hack to grow on LinkedIn.
You don't.

You just need a solid foundation and a simple daily routine.

Here's exactly what works:

Fix your profile first
Before you post anything, make sure your profile actually converts visitors into followers or clients.

Your headline should tell people exactly what you do and who you help. Keep it under 45 characters so it shows fully on mobile.

Your profile photo should be professional. Show your face clearly. Smile. Use a simple background.

Your About section should tell your story, not list your achievements. Start with the problem you solve, share your journey, then explain how you help.

Add a Featured section. Put your best content, your lead magnet, or your service page there.
Your banner should have a clear message and a call to action. Don't leave it blank.

Your daily routine (60 minutes total)
Before you post (15 minutes): Don't post first thing in the morning. Engage first. Find 5-7 posts from people in your niche. Leave real, thoughtful comments. This warms up the algorithm and reminds people you exist.

Create your content (15 minutes): Write your post. Start with a strong hook. Provide real value in the middle. End with a clear call to action. Match your content to where people are in their journey with you.

After you post (15 minutes): Stay online. Reply to every comment quickly. Have real conversations. Don't just say "thanks." Ask questions. Keep the engagement going.

Build relationships (10 minutes): Go through your DMs. Reply to messages. Start 1-2 new conversations with people who've been engaging with your content.

Grow your network (5 minutes): Send 5-7 connection requests. Not random ones. Targeted ones. People who would actually benefit from your content.

What to post
70% of your content should be for people who don't know you yet. Share stories, struggles, lessons learned.

20% should show your expertise. Share frameworks, strategies, how you work.
10% should invite people to work with you. Client wins, testimonials, clear offers.

Tools that help
I use Notion to plan my content. Claude to help me organize my thoughts (not write for me). Canva or Ideogram for simple graphics. CapCut for editing videos.

I don't use every tool out there. Just the ones that save me time without making my content feel robotic.

Learn from people doing it well
Follow creators who are vulnerable and real. The ones who share their actual journey, not just their wins. The ones who write like humans, not like AI.

Study what they do. Not to copy them. But to understand why their content connects.

Most people quit after two weeks because they don't see results.

But the people who stick with it? They build something real.


Stop looking for shortcuts. Start building foundations.

You don't need growth hacks to win on LinkedIn.

I spent 90 days testing what actually works.

Here's what made the difference:
- Post content that solves one specific problem
- Don't try to help everyone with everything.

Pick one problem. Solve it clearly. Speak directly to the person who has that problem.

Use the exact words they use. Talk like you're helping a friend, not writing a blog post.

Example: Instead of "Improve your communication skills," say "Stop losing deals because your body language screams insecurity."

See the difference, One is vague. The other speaks to a real pain point.
Post 3 times a week. No more. No less. Consistency beats volume.

Show your work, not just your wins

Here's the mix that works:
80% of your content should be practical. Step-by-step guides. Screenshots. 

Real examples.
20% should be your story. How you learned it. What mistakes you made.
The 80% builds trust. The 20% makes people care.

Don't just tell people what to do. Show them how you're doing it.

Video is still your secret weapon
I know. Video reach on LinkedIn feels lower right now.

But here's the thing: video still builds trust faster than anything else
.
We did a LinkedIn Live with 200 people recently. Made $10,000 from it.

Why, Because people buy from people they trust. Video speeds up that trust.

You don't need to do video every day. Twice a month is enough.
Just show up. Be real. Share what you know.

The real strategy, Focus.
Everyone's chasing viral posts. Trying every new tactic. Posting 10 times a day.

That's not how you build a brand.
You build a brand by being consistent with one clear message.

Pick your one thing. The problem you solve. The people you help.
Then show up for them. Every week. With real value.

The rest will follow.



P.S. Which part of this is hardest for you right now? 
The consistency? The focus? The video? 

Let me know in the comments.

I gave myself a challenge last week.

Add new comments, not more comments.

If you want to increase your visibility, then you need to comment on new profiles.

Profiles who are from different regions.
Profiles who have just started.
Profiles who have very few comments.

This will help you get their attention and their comments on your posts.

My strategy is simple:
I add 10 new profiles every week to my engagement sheet.

I comment on them for a week or two and then see their activity.

If they comment or appreciate my comments, I keep them and remove the rest.

This helps me reach out to 40 new profiles in a month.

From which 15-20 profiles comment back or connect with you.

This helps you with engagement, impressions, and connections.

Try this strategy in December and you will have new connections by New Year.

P.S. Support new LinkedIn profiles. They need your help.

I only spend 30 minutes on the LinkedIn app.

And manage 7 LinkedIn profiles including mine.

In 30 minutes, 5 minutes are dedicated to LinkedIn games (puzzle games).

10 minutes are dedicated to replying to new and old messages.

15 minutes are dedicated to checking and reading the content on my feed.

Now you may think, how am I managing the other 6 profiles?

So I use LinkedIn on my web browser using my laptop.

On the web, I spend around 4 hours every day to use and manage other LinkedIn profiles.

On the web, you can open multiple profiles at the same time without logging in and logging out.

My first line above is true, but it's just a small part of what I meant.

My motive was to show you how you get manipulated using clickbait hooks or hooks that just tell half the story, just to attract your attention.

So before you decide or assume the statement to be true, you must read the complete content and then decide.

Words play a very important role in your decision-making and the choices you make, which have consequences in your day-to-day life.


P.S. What's the most hilarious hook line you have ever read?

Get replies to your cold emails using LinkedIn.

This is by far the easiest way to get responses.

I won't say: "You must be an expert copywriter to get Leads"
I won't say: "You must send 1000 emails to get replies"

This is the typical way of sending cold emails.

But when you integrate or take help of LinkedIn, the process changes completely and becomes more efficient.

Here's the process:

1) Scrape profiles of your target audience on LinkedIn.

2) Make sure your target audience is active on LinkedIn or has posted some content recently.

3) Now collect their emails from the Contact Info section on their profile.

4) Once you have the email list ready, send an email mentioning their latest post, then introduce what you do and how you can solve their problems, and add a CTA at the end.

I have recently seen this trend which is very effective since most of our target audience is bombarded with DMs on LinkedIn, and very few go the extra mile and send them an email.

I receive one such email every day, and trust me, it feels so good when someone has really done some research about me before reaching out.


P.S. Have you tried this process?

You can 3x your content reach with one simple change.

Stop trying to talk to everyone.

When you write a LinkedIn post, keep it simple. Make it easy to read and understand.

And always focus on one thing:
One audience. One topic. One goal. One CTA.

Here's what I mean:
Last week, I posted about "LinkedIn Games (Puzzle game)"

The goal of LinkedIn is to make the users use the LinkedIn App

I explained:
How LinkedIn is making it interesting.
The Introduction of Leaderboard

At the end, I added a simple CTA “Are you playing the game ?”
The result?
3x more impressions than my usual posts, Why did it work?

Because it talks about 1 core topic and a Clear CTA. 

Here's the lesson:
Every time you post on LinkedIn, ask yourself:

Am I solving a real problem?
Is my message clear and focused?
Does my CTA make sense?

If the answer is no to any of these, rewrite it.
We live in an attention economy. If you can hold someone's attention for more than 10 seconds (which is really hard), you win.

But you can't do that if your message is confusing or trying to help everyone.
Focus. Simplify. Solve one problem at a time.


P.S. What's your take on this approach?



#LinkedInGames #PuzzleGames

Recording a video is much easier than writing content for LinkedIn.

Here's why:

When you record a video, you can share minute details.

You can pause. You can express your emotions.

All these within a few seconds.

But when you write, you need to be on point.

You can't add any fluff. You can't add a lengthy sentence explaining a point in detail.

Everything needs to be short, sweet, and to the point.

Especially the hook line. It must be within a few characters so that it is shown to your audience before they decide to click on "show more."

And then a good CTA that will get you more comments.

In write-ups, you need to follow certain rules.

Whereas in videos, you can actually showcase more authenticity by pausing, sharing your emotions, etc.

Videos are the best way to make your audience interested in what you do and sell.

So when you think that writing content on LinkedIn is much easier than posting a video, it's only partially true.

You need to know the complete nuances of both.



P.S. Have you posted a video on LinkedIn ?

The reason you're not Closing Clients? 

You're still thinking like the 99%, 

The difference between people who succeed and people who stay stuck isn't talent.

It's how they think.

Here are 6 mindset shifts that separate the two:

1) Most people wait to feel motivated. High achievers just start.

Motivation is nice when it shows up. But it's unreliable.

Discipline is what gets you to work even when you don't feel like it.

You don't need to feel ready. You just need to start.

2) Most people are scared of failing. High achievers see failure as feedback.

They don't avoid mistakes. They make them quickly, learn from them, and keep moving.

Every failure teaches something. Every setback is just data.

3) Most people want results now. High achievers trust the process.

They know that small, consistent actions add up over time.

They're not looking for overnight success. They're building something that lasts.

One good decision today. Another tomorrow. That's how big things happen.

4) Most people stay comfortable. High achievers chase discomfort.

Growth doesn't happen in your comfort zone.

It happens when you're stretched. When things feel hard. When you're learning something new.

If it's easy, you're not growing.

5) Most people quit when it gets boring. High achievers keep going anyway.

They don't need excitement to keep showing up.

They don't need variety to stay consistent.

They understand that repetition is what builds mastery.

6) Most people think about this week. High achievers think about the next 5 years.

Short-term thinking gives you short-term results.

Long-term thinking turns daily effort into something meaningful.

Vision keeps you going when the day-to-day feels pointless.

Same hours. Different choices. Different life.

You don't need more time.

You don't need better circumstances.

You need a mindset that makes the most of what you already have.


P.S. Which of these mindset shifts do you need to work on most right now?

This is your next big opportunity in 2026.

(Stop creating content on LinkedIn)

You can't grow on LinkedIn or get new opportunities on LinkedIn by simply posting content. You need to have a good system and strategy.

System involves all the doc files, sheets, and list of topics which have worked previously.

Strategy involves experimentation with your content, engagement, and outreach based on analytics (data).

Once you set up both and stay consistent for at least 90 days, you can get your next big opportunity in 2026.

This can include:
A good network of like-minded people.
Good business opportunities that can scale your business.
Quality, skilled people for your business.

So if you are randomly posting content, take a pause. First focus on building a good system and strategy, then restart.

If you haven't started yet, first build a good strategy and system, then start.


If you want guidance on how to build a good system and strategy, 

Comment "Guide" and I will share the guide with you.

What makes you get more impressions on LinkedIn ?

It’s not your content but the images you attach

This is what most of you think : 

A woman on LinkedIn gets more impressions & engagement then men

Because of their images but this is not true.

When you are starting out it might help you good impressions & engagement

But when you want to build something meaningful  & Valuable 

You just can’t depend on your personal images (This is both for male & female)

You need to have a good content that deals with the pain points of your audience

It must solve a problem and the image should be related to what you post.

And the most important part , You can’t skip comments

You need to add quality comments to new & small creators & keep connecting with them.

I am doing this from past 2 years and have build a following of 8000+ 

So stop finding excuses and start executing.


P.S. Adding your personal images gets you more views on LinkedIn ?

I spent this week reading The Almanack of Naval Ravikant.

These six lessons hit different:

1. Wealth is about owning things that earn while you sleep
→ Trading time for money has a ceiling 
→ Building assets that work without you doesn't
What this means: Stop trading hours. Start building systems.

One thing to try: Identify one skill you can turn into a product or service that doesn't need your constant time.

2. Happiness is a skill you practice, not a goal you chase
→ Chasing happiness makes it run away 
→ Choosing to be present brings it closer
What this means: Stop waiting to be happy when you achieve something. Be happy now.

One thing to try: When you catch yourself saying "I'll be happy when...", pause and find one thing to appreciate right now.

3. Read what you love until you love to read
→ Forcing yourself through boring books kills curiosity 
→ Reading what excites you builds the habit naturally

What this means: Stop reading what you "should" read. Read what genuinely interests you.
One thing to try: Drop that book you've been forcing yourself to finish. Pick up something you're actually curious about.

4. Your real resume is just a list of the people who trust you
→ Credentials get you noticed 
→ Trust gets you opportunities

What this means: Focus less on titles, more on relationships.
One thing to try: Reach out to one person this week just to help them with something. No ask. Just value.

5. Specific knowledge can't be taught, but it can be learned
→ What you uniquely know through experience is your edge 
→ What everyone can learn from a course isn't

What this means: Your weird combination of interests and experiences is your advantage. Not what you learned in school.

One thing to try: Write down three things you know that most people in your field don't. That's your specific knowledge.

6. Play long-term games with long-term people
→ Short-term thinking attracts short-term results 
→ Compound relationships create compound success

What this means: Stop chasing quick wins with random people. Build with people you trust over years.

One thing to try: Think of one relationship you want to invest in for the next 5+ years. Message them today.

The thread connecting all of these?
Naval doesn't teach tactics. He teaches thinking.
He doesn't give you a blueprint. He gives you principles.

And principles work longer than any hack ever will.


P.S. Which of these lessons hit you the hardest? And which one are you going to apply first?

LinkedIn Games are so addictive.

I am on a 150-day streak on Zip Game.

Now I have also started playing Mini Sudoku, which is also very addictive.

The best part is you get the leaderboard after you complete the game.

You can see your connections playing the game and their ranking according to how quickly they solved it.

As humans, we also tend to want to win or be at the top.

This makes us work hard or try to be more efficient to feel superior.

This emotion is perfectly tapped by LinkedIn.

And it helps LinkedIn make its users stay on their app or visit the app every day.

It's overall a great strategy for LinkedIn.


P.S. Which game do you like the most on LinkedIn? (Recently Started Playing Sudoku)

Only 18 days left in 2025.

You are still stuck with the same strategy.

Right now you have either slowed down or are busy building your New Year resolution.
And a few might be on vacation.

You might have promised yourself, "Next year will be my year."

"I will achieve all my bigger goals."

"I will hit the gym," and so on.

But here's the sad part: 90% of resolutions are never achieved.

In fact, the momentum at which you start fades after the first month.
Reason? Creating a resolution and executing it are different things.

Execution takes a lot from you. Your time. Your effort. Your dedication.

I am not demotivating you. It's always good to have a resolution, since I will also be having 
one.


P.S. Have you created your resolution for 2026?
