I’ve seen so many people hop on group calls who stay quiet the entire time. “Oh, but I’m absorbing the information.” That’s the excuse they give. But deep down they don’t feel good enough to speak up… Especially when there’s someone with a higher status than them. They act like side characters you see in movies who’re forgotten right after the movie ends… And they’re literally closing the door that might contain all the things you want. And this has been going on for quite a lot of time for them. WITHOUT any change. This quote is true: Closed mouths don’t get fed. No wonder their business isn’t growing at the rate at which it should grow. So, what’s the solution for this? It’s a simple one. Speak up. Speak up even if it feels cringe. Speak up even if your heart starts pounding & your body starts to shake. Speak up even if your inner critic mocks you to the point where you can’t take it anymore. Speak up and get it done with. You’ll be surprised how difficult your mind made it to be when you held it back. “Oh, but I’m quietly absorbing the information.” Yes, you have to absorb all the information & even take notes. But not asking questions that might change your entire life…isn’t a smart move. All the millionaires & successful people have once been where you are right now. But the only difference was that they willingly stomped on that sneaky thing called ego. And they were willing to ask the questions that ended up changing their lives. Every student who grew up to be an influential mentor was a product of their questions. That's the secret to speedrunning your progress. And potentially speedrunning your bank account.

How much are you gonna run? From yourself. From your own words. From your commitments. You say you’ll do one thing… And instead of actually doing that very thing you promised to yourself… You see a notification, an email, a message from your friend, or simply another short-form content… And lo and behold, you’ve forgotten your commitments. And you lose yourself. Not only that, but you also lose the self-confidence that is needed to succeed in any task. You then sleep with immense pain & regret. And the guilty feeling eats you up. “I wish I hadn’t wasted time today.” “I wish I hadn’t put off that task that I wanted to do for the longest time.” “I wish I actually did something that made me proud instead of just doing random tasks.” But even with all of this misery…the cycle just repeats from the next day. As if it’s a never-ending loop. This is the trap I was stuck in for most of my life. I tried so many things to get out of it, but nothing seemed to work. No amount of journaling helped. Affirmations didn’t feel true at that time. Feeling sorry for myself didn’t help. Being angry at myself didn’t help either. Heck, even using those terrible feelings as a fuel didn’t work for me. Then I came up with the Ultimate Reset. And this…worked like a charm. And no, I’m not selling you any program called the Ultimate Reset. It’s just a method you can use for free when you’re stuck in a rut. In simpler words, start from zero. Let me explain… See, we’re fixated on completing a 15-item to-do list. And some of us are used to tackling multiple tasks/projects in a single day. But when you’ve spiralled into distractions and start to break one promise after the other… Your brain loses the ability to do any task…let alone finish 15 tasks. So what do you do instead? You simply put your ego to the side… And forget about all the progress you had made in the past. Even if you had a jam-packed routine and worked like a robot just a month ago. It doesn’t matter. Literally, start from zero.

“Oh, but I’m networking. It’s good use of my time…” But look at what you did in those networking calls. You talked about what’s gonna happen in that new TV show that you both watched. You gave the spoilers to the upcoming chapter of that fiction book you both love. You talked & felt good about how many calls you hopped on that week. You talked about everything except for the thing that matters the most, your business. No wonder you’re not getting more sales lately. “But I did talk about my business when they asked me what I did…” Yeah, right…stay in your lil bubble. Remember, business is: money in. That’s it. Not networking or hopping on calls just to pass your time. Now I’m not saying don’t network. Networking is good, but only if you use it properly. Your goal in networking should be to provide as much value as you can. Your aim should be: “How can I help that person?” Be the doctor and diagnose that ‘patient’ who’s on the other end of the call. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people just having a good time on these calls. Sure, have a good time. Have a good laugh. Life shouldn’t be dull. But don’t get distracted from your goals. Have a time set for casual chill calls with the people you enjoy talking to. But then have separate calls just to present value. Put all attention on that person. Shower them with value. And then pitch your offer if you believe that you can help them. But don’t hide behind the comfort of smiles & laughter just to avoid doing the work. Don’t use networking as a means of procrastination. If you’ve made this mistake in the past, don’t worry. Go through all of your contact list… And go through the people, who you’ve already had ‘fun’ with on previous calls. And now, hop on a value call with them. Keep the fun out on this short, action-packed call. And pour all the value out, without holding anything back. And see how much real progress you make in a few days. Because remember, with each value-based call…

What’s your first reaction when you see a super expensive car go by? Or you see videos on YouTube: “I Just Bought A $5M Mansion (Full House Tour)” You roll your eyes on that title. And you think that the owner is probably an evil, rich douchebag or even a drug-dealer to be able to afford that. If that’s the case…congratulations you have a bad relationship with money. See, money gets into the pockets of those people who have a good relationship with it. Now it may seem bizarre to think that you have a relationship with money in the first place. But just like you have a connection, a bond, and understanding with other people, the same goes with money as well. Now most of you are walking around thinking that large sums of money only belong to the evil and corrupt people. That good-hearted, kind people like you don’t even deserve to have it. And this is the exact reason why you’re unintentionally repelling it away from you. This is the reason why you’re endlessly chasing a certain figure but can’t seem to attain it. And that is the reason why, even if you have a few good months…. Your bank balance always seem to end up showing more or less same amount you had before. Every. Single. Time. It’s like your bank account only knows that certain number and can’t seem to exceed it. But it’s not about your work ethic or your bank account holding you back. It’s your relationship with money. Think about it…what is the famous saying you heard about money while you were growing up? “Money is the root of all evil.” “Rich people are evil” “Only corrupt people get to earn lots of money” All of these statements have placed a seed in our brains by society. A seed that has now prospered into a strong, rigid tree. And it’s got to the point where we have now started to hate the rich. And with this type of conditioning…are we hating the rich or simply hating the money? The answer is unfortunately…the latter. We indirectly start to resent money by associating negative emotions to it.

Good: The habits you're most proud of and which have given you so much confidence (share them here even if you haven't shared them with others irl) Bad: The habits you're trying to fix but keep on relapsing, but you're still in the process of fixing them. Ugly: The habits that you know are ruining your life in some way that needs fixing. For me: Good: Overcoming social anxiety and that weird suffocating feeling in my chest while interacting with others is a big one for me. Also, not being a people pleaser has helped me big time. (i used to be that person who would look at people's faces for approval before doing something and cared too much about what people think of me, which held me back from so many opportunities) Also cut down my phone addiction to almost zero (around 5-10min phone screentime per day on average) Bad: Giving too much information on 1:1 calls (that also eventually takes up more time than I intend), now I'm focusing on giving more punchier calls to my clients and prospects so they get more in less time. also not giving into my sweet cravings is also something i need to work on ;) Ugly: Waking up early (4 or 5am), I wanted to wake up at that time literally for years but still can't get in that habit. I know I would unlock so much more time doing this and it would be good for my body as well but it's like the bed is pulling me down when I try to wake up at this time. But this is still a quest I'm looking to accomplish. Tell me yours (whether they’re related to business, life or whatever) Maybe others can relate to them!
