Now, what she earns in 12 months is my 1 month payout.

We are still best friends.

We both started with the same package at the same company.

I encouraged her to take a risk and start something for herself.

She declined, saying it was too risky.
I quit and struggled for a year.
I rarely attended any parties or get-togethers.

And now, I've just invited her to the closing of my biggest client deal.

I want to tell you: hone your skills and take risks.

There is nothing to lose but everything to gain.

12 months of hard work have put me 12 years ahead in my life.

Made $1000 in 1 hour.

Throughout my life, I was told to go to school, get good grades, secure a good job, and then I would be successful.

But I ended up spending over INR 8 lakhs on my education.

And received a nice little paper degree and a INR 20k job per month.

Only to lose it all in one day when my boss insulted me for not meeting the target.

And I resigned and took a leap of faith.

I started with copywriting, then performance marketing.

I mastered LinkedIn for clients and then started looking for other platforms to earn steady income.

Then I came across https://feedcoyote.com/

Where I started engaging under the collab section on the post of various people actively looking for the services I provide.

And recently I cracked a deal with an international client for branding.

So go and grab the opportunity before it’s too late to make easy clients.

First, sign up using my signup link on https://feedcoyote.com/ and start looking for opportunities.

Pro tip: Try to reply to the new collab as soon as possible.

I am slowing down my growth intentionally.

I am not going to onboard any new clients too soon.

I am not going to expand as fast as I was last month.

Why?

I will not be able to:

1. Have the bandwidth to innovate and improve our services.
2. Maintain a healthy work-life balance.
3. Have time to gather and implement valuable client feedback.
4. Stay updated with industry trends and best practices.
5. Have resources to refine and optimize our business strategies.

And this is where most businesses fail.

They only focus on acquiring more clients rather than providing quality work.

So, I am going to:

1. Optimize internal processes for better efficiency.
2. Upgrade our systems to support larger client volumes.
3. Focus on maintaining high-quality service for current clients.
4. Train my team to handle an increased workload effectively.
5. Strengthen relationships with existing clients before taking on more.

This strategic pause will allow me to ensure my team is well-prepared, our infrastructure is robust, and our processes are seamless.

By prioritizing these areas, I aim to deliver exceptional service and build stronger, more meaningful client relationships.

This approach will ultimately lead to sustainable, long-term growth and success for my business.

I work 70 hours per week, and sometimes I feel I am alone and unhappy.

People try to convince us that to outperform economies like China and Japan, we need to work 70 hours per week.

But do you really want to emulate China and Japan?

In these countries, loneliness and depression are prevalent topics of discussion.

Personally, I wouldn't accept this.

Take it from me, a freelancer working 70 hours per week.

I operate with about 60% efficiency because maintaining productivity becomes impossible with extended working hours.

So why isn’t there more focus on efficiency?

Here’s something to ponder: I'm not happy.

Work consumes so much time that I can't connect with family and friends.




It took some time, but I am not subscribing to this unhealthy work ethic.

Sometimes, it’s essential to rest and cherish moments with family.

Do you feel the same ???

Here’s How To Build A Successful Business Solely Through LinkedIn:

90% of businesses don't fully leverage LinkedIn (This is how to thrive).

I have grown two businesses into the six figures in just 3 years, using LinkedIn.

Before we start...
Here's why LinkedIn strategies often fail:

- Poor personal branding.
- Inadequate network building.
- Ignoring analytics and user feedback.
- Weak or inconsistent content strategy.
- Failing to utilize LinkedIn features fully.
- Not engaging actively with connections.
- Not aligning LinkedIn goals with business objectives.

In every successful business I've led...
All followed these rules:

- Started with building a robust network.
- Leverage every LinkedIn tool available.
- Adjusted strategies based on analytics and feedback.
- Always aimed to provide solutions through my offerings.
- Engaged continuously and meaningfully with my network.
- Focused on building a strong personal and business brand.
- Relied on strong, consistent content tailored to my audience.

A successful business on LinkedIn stands on a well-crafted strategy.
Take this seriously.

My advice: Build connections and engage constantly.
You can nail this!

High-Paying Client on LinkedIn:

❌ Connect with every potential client
✅ Connect only with high-value, targeted profiles

❌ Post generic content daily
✅ Share insightful, industry-specific posts weekly

❌ Join every possible LinkedIn group
✅ Join and actively engage in key industry groups

❌ Ignore messages from non-ideal clients
✅ Politely decline while maintaining a positive network

❌ Randomly endorse skills of connections
✅ Thoughtfully endorse skills of key clients

❌ Send automated, generic messages

❌ Focus solely on quantity of connections

✅ Regularly interact with and share client's relevant content

❌ Push for immediate sales in conversations

Managing high-paying clients on LinkedIn isn't just about networking.

Agreed?

How does it feel to earn your entire month's salary in just one day?

It doesn't mean you worked 30x harder.

It means you grew yourself 30x.

Growing yourself 30x could take 30 days or 300 days.

But what does it really take to grow yourself 30x?
→You are ready to invest in buying new tools 
→You are creating offers that people can’t say no to
→You are automating tasks that used to take you hours
→You are learning new tools that no one is even talking
→You are turning one skill into multiple income streams

→You are charging for white-label versions of your work
→You are launching products instead of waiting for clients
→You are using scarcity and urgency to create sales spikes
→You are leveraging social proof to increase your credibility
→You are building email lists that generate sales on autopilot

→You are building frameworks that others can follow and buy
→You are making “how-to guides“ that people actually pay for
→You are turning your “free advice“ into paid content and courses
→You are growing a community of people who trust your expertise
→You are creating subscription products that get paid every month

Either you learn these things on your own or from the guidance of others.

But the reality is, without these things you really can’t grow.

You can’t multiply your growth.

P.S.: Do you think the list should include other things as well?
Comment your points so others can follow and grow.

11 Toxic Client Red Flags:

Clients aren’t always right. Sometimes they cost you peace of mind.

The clients to watch out for all show these signs:

1. Call you anytime, thinking you're always available
↳ They don’t respect your time off.

2. Expect you to reply instantly, even on weekends
↳ Your time to relax and unwind means nothing to them.

3. Change their minds but won’t accept the extra costs
↳ They want the world but won’t pay for it.

4. Give vague feedback, then get upset over outcomes
↳ They’re unclear, yet expect perfection.

5. Ignore your advice, then blame you for bad results
↳ They think they know better, until they don’t.

6. Demand more work than agreed upon without paying extra
↳ They always want a little bit more for free.

7. Send rude or disrespectful messages
↳ Their words can be sharp and cutting.

8. Question your prices, undervaluing your work
↳ They haggle as if you’re a weekend market stall.

9. Pay late, making excuses, or dodge payments
↳ Their promises are like leaves in the wind.

10. Steal your time with endless meetings that achieve nothing
↳ They love to talk, not to listen or act.

11. Take credit for your hard work
↳ They shine in your spotlight without a thank you.

Do you recognize these red flags in a client?

Are you struggling to convert your audience and make money?

I have monetized my audience for myself and for my clients, and here is the secret.

Remember, people don’t buy from you because they understand what you sell.

They buy from you because they feel understood.

So, you need to tell them you understand them.

You understand their problem and their story.

So, how do you speak to your audience?

Here is a formula for you.

💡 The formula: “I’ll help you to _ so that you _”

Here are some examples I use when pitching to my audience that you can copy for yourself.

See the difference yourself:

1. ❌ “I’ll help you learn how to code”  
  ✔️ “I’ll help you learn how to code so you can land your dream tech job and build innovative projects.”

2. ❌ “I’ll teach you how to cook”  
  ✔️ “I’ll teach you how to cook gourmet meals so you can impress your friends and enjoy restaurant-quality food at home.”

3. ❌ “I’ll help you with time management”  
  ✔️ “I’ll help you master time management so you can achieve your goals faster and have more free time for what you love.”

4. ❌ “I’ll show you how to invest”  
  ✔️ “I’ll show you how to invest wisely so you can grow your wealth and secure your financial future.”

See the difference?

Finally, I reached 50k followers on LinkedIn in just 50 days!

I guarantee you haven't heard about the trick I have used to get that number on the internet before. If you have, please share the link in the comments section.

Please spare 2 minutes of your time.

📌Just 50 days ago, I had only 39k followers. That means I increased my followers by 11k in 50 days!

This post is particularly special and dear to me.

I planned for it months in advance and refined it multiple times.

📌I'd love to share the roller-coaster of emotions I've been through, but I won't bore you with the details.

Now, I'm about to reveal the secret behind this growth.

Wondering what type of content goes viral on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is distinct, especially when compared to platforms like Quora, Instagram, and YouTube.

For instance, I used to share the same content on LinkedIn and Quora.

You know what the result was?

📌On Quora, I received backlash when I discussed making money through social media. But on LinkedIn, you all were incredibly supportive.

Thus, understanding the platform is essential.

To help, I'll share a few insights about the LinkedIn audience:

1. Post content related to your daily challenges. It stands a better chance of going viral than content about your achievements. Why? Most active LinkedIn users are already successful in their careers. They can't relate to incessant success stories. Share your journey, your struggles.

2. Use numbers in your hooks, like I did. While I could've written “50k in 49 days“ (which was the case), I chose not to. Did you notice the pattern? It sparks curiosity.

3. If sharing photos, ensure the background is minimalistic. This taps into the audience's psychology, making them more likely to engage with your post.

4. If you're sharing a quote, handwrite it. A quote is personal, and what's more personal than your handwriting?

5. When drafting your post, decide on the value you're providing to your audience. Plan this in advance. Write as if you're hosting a podcast, and imagine it'll be featured on a major YouTube channel. Pour your heart into it.

6. If you're just starting out, experiment with different niches. Within a couple of months, you'll likely identify the type of content that resonates most with your audience.

📌In conclusion, I deeply appreciate each one of you for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I promise to keep delivering top-notch content.

I genuinely hope you prosper—not just because I wish you well, but also so I won't have to foot your coffee bill! 😉

If you found value in this post, consider following me. If not, stay tuned; I promise my upcoming content will captivate you.


Cheers ❤️

My maid has uploaded a status for Sir Ratan Tata.

I believe his stature is similar to Gandhi ji’s.

Albert Einstein once said, 'Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.'

But I think we have witnessed one such grand stature, in flesh and blood, walk upon this earth.

May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy continue to guide and inspire us all.

I Lost My Job Due to LinkedIn!




I was promoted to a product manager position in my last company,

I was responsible for handling all of the company's growth marketing, most notably using LinkedIn.

🔺Soon, I realized the power of LinkedIn and decided to dedicate some time to my personal profile as well.

🔺Before long, I began taking my LinkedIn activity quite seriously, discussing topics such as growth marketing.

🔺However, my company's management strictly prohibited me from using LinkedIn.

When I asked for the reason, they claimed it would be a distraction for me.

I countered by asking, “Doesn't this apply to the company's founder, whose profile I manage?

Won't he get distracted?“

Their answer was for me to make a choice: LinkedIn or my job.

So, here I am, building my #LinkedIn community.

Now, I can confidently assert that if you really want to grow professionally,

You need to develop your presence, build your community, and expand your LinkedIn network.

If you also want to get fired from your company, then write 'FIRED’ in the comment section.

I wish this existed when I started.
Would’ve saved me 7 years of trial/error.

Because top marketing leaders know what you don’t.

So, you keep struggling for years.
➜ Now, They’re Done Gatekeeping.

Want their playbook?

Cultfit, FilterCopy, Paytm Insider, Ajio, Emami, Ogilvy — CMOs & VPs are spilling their real strategies.

Remember: They’re ruthless about your growth.

❌ DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME IF YOU:
1. Still call yourself a “fresher.”
2. Think marketing is just “viral luck.”
3. Want a certificate to flaunt.
4. Skip ads instead of reverse-engineering them.
5. Don’t live on Instagram/YouTube.

FOR THOSE STILL READING ➜

This is your last shortcut to:
➜ Steal battle-tested frameworks from CMOs scaling 8-9 figure brands.
➜ Build a portfolio that screams “hire me” without begging for jobs.
➜ Network with mentors who’ll drag you into the top 1%.

Creators on Linkedin are selling blueprint of “Gaining Followers”

So, it means, they are here to play the number game?

For me LinkedIn has always been only about building relationships

I'm building a team and exploring my clients' challenges and perspectives.

That journey teaches me something new every day, and I share that on LinkedIn.

Not a recycled playbook or content designed to chase algorithms

It’s not real and it doesn’t create authenticity

You know what makes people stop scrolling and pay attention?

→Your Insights 
→Your Journey 
→Your personal experiences

Don't get me wrong, I get it that numbers sell.

But you can’t repurpose content all the time or try to sell with every single post.

You cannot bound creativity in a blueprint of formats and tones.

I know this thought won’t sit well with some

But let’s talk about it: Is LinkedIn losing its essence to the numbers game?

Or am I just too old-school for this “blueprint” era?

What are your views ??

This Diwali, I gifted my mom a golden chain worth the amount for which she broke her lifelong FD for my graduation.

Affording the first installment of 1.5 lakhs for my college fees wasn't easy, and my mother broke her lifelong FD without even consulting me.

That was when I resolved to become capable enough to gift her a golden chain of the same value one day.

It took me five years to achieve this.

But one thing was clear from the start: when I took my first job for 15k, I knew it was temporary and a learning opportunity.

I constantly sought to upskill myself, taking on as many responsibilities as possible, never saying no.

Instead, I said yes to a client who needed help generating leads for his business, even though I wasn't sure how to do it.

But then I messaged a few creators here. I consulted them and learned from them.

I never stopped learning because I wanted to see happiness on my mom's face.

This coming Diwali, I hope you too can gift something special to your mom.

She is the unsung hero.

Until then, keep working hard. Keep posting, engaging, learning, and approaching new people.
