After thinking deeply for a long time, I’ve decided to step away not just for a while, but for a long break. I honestly don’t know if or when I’ll return. This wasn’t an easy decision. I’ve spent many days going back and forth in my mind. But in the end, I chose my studies. In 8 months, I have an important exam. If Allah wills, and I pass with merit, I’ll be able to become a primary teacher. That path carries responsibility, stability, and purpose — and right now, it feels like the right direction for my life. Letting go of something you care about is never easy. This community gave me motivation, clarity, and belief when I was unsure of myself. Walking away hurts — but sometimes growth asks us to choose the harder, quieter road. A special thank you to Haroon sir. Your guidance and motivation truly made an impact on me. And to every member here — your presence, advice, and encouragement meant more than you may realize. I’m moving forward with faith in my heart. InshaAllah, if it’s written for me, our paths will cross again. Especially thanks to @Tayyaba Fatima @Jia Ch @Latif Wali Uddin @bilal ahmed @Asher Shahid @Raima Zainab @Maria Ijaz @Asadullah Khan @huzaifa Aamir @Moiz Jabbar @Habib Ahmed @Habib Ahmed @Zainab Ramzan

🧠 Thinking, Learning, Decisions - ChatGPT → thinking, explaining, strategy, clarity - Perplexity → fast factual research - Readwise → retain what you read 🗂️ Planning, Notes, Personal Knowledge - Notion → life + work system - Obsidian → deep thinking, long-term notes - Google Calendar → time blocking ⚙️ Work, Operations, Execution - Trello → simple workflows - ClickUp → complex ops - Google Docs → writing + SOPs 📧 Communication & Coordination - Gmail → formal communication - WhatsApp → community & teams - Zoom → meetings 🎨 Design, Media, Content - Canva → fast visuals - Midjourney → high-quality images - CapCut → reels & short videos 💰 Finance, Earning, Tracking - Google Sheets → budgeting & tracking - Wise → halal global payments - Payoneer → client payouts 🧍 Health, Focus, Discipline - Google Fit → basic activity - Forest → avoid distraction - Sleep Cycle → sleep quality 🔐 Digital Safety & Order - Bitwarden → security - Google Drive → files & backups 🔑 One-line principle (important) - ChatGPT = brain - Notion = memory - Calendar = time - Trello/ClickUp = execution - Sheets = truth (numbers don’t lie)

Break goals into 3 levels: 🈷️0–3 months: - Work for every client in start - Refine your offer according to ICA - Set up portfolio 🈷️Midterm (3–12 months): - Consistent $2–5k/month - Build authority - Optimize pricing For an automated agency, the realistic net profit is Revenue × 90% (upwork fee) × 30% 🈷️Long term (1–3 yrs): - Scale to $10k/month - Automate tasks - Hire help - Transition to agency Short-term example: - Daily 5–10 bids (Upwork) - Daily 20 Insta/LinkedIn cold DM - Offer a free/low-cost project for reviews Midterm example: - Upwork & off upwork growth plan given Long-term example: example given ⚠️Reminder: Yaha hum 9–5 se bach kar 16 hours ki job me phasnay ni aa rhe. Use data, not emotions - Check market demand before picking a niche - Track money earned/hour to set hourly targets Mistake: Applying, keep applying & hoping for a response Fix: - Track conversion rate - Improve proposal quality Example given: If low response rate: - Do speed bidding with short proposals instead of burning connects - Try more client-focused messaging - Like if you have solved a similar small problem for someone Reverse engineer earnings: - Track your per-month revenue - Total hours taken - Revenue per hour you are earning Then refine your offer/pricing according to your targets. 🔶Set system-based goals, not just outcome-based 🔶Focus on high-leverage activities. Learning new skills is good. But outreach, content marketing, and positioning get real results. Mistake: Learning 10 skills before getting a client Fix: Learn only what’s needed to land clients ASAP Fastest way to grow revenue: Long-term client instead of one-time client Cold DM is also important to scale without burning connects. ➡️Myth: passive income - Freelancing = active income - Agency = semi-passive income - Digital product = passive income (courses, community) ➡️Myth: You are an expert, that’s enough - Marketing, sales & positioning matter most

My name is Faiza Kanwal and I work as a Data Entry specialist (Excel & MS Word) and also in Digital Marketing, including SEO (on-page & off-page), guest posting, and creating digital products using Canva. I am putting in consistent effort, but I am still struggling to find proper clients. I also have an Upwork account and am actively looking for work opportunities. If anyone can guide me or needs these services, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
