All women work. Only some are salaried.

Some build companies. Some build homes.
Some balance both like it’s the easiest thing in the world.

But the hardest workers? They rarely have a title to show for it.

The first woman who ever inspired me didn’t sit in a boardroom.
She never gave a TED Talk.
She never got a paycheck for the work she did.

But she built something far greater—a life, a home, a foundation.

That woman is my mother.

The First Leader I Ever Knew.

My mom never called herself a CEO.
But she ran a household like a Fortune 500 company—

-Crisis management? Handled daily.
-Budgeting? Done with zero room for errors.
-Emotional intelligence? Better than any leadership book.

She didn’t sit through strategy meetings.
But she knew how to navigate life’s toughest decisions.

She didn’t manage a team.
But she raised one.

She didn’t clock in at 9 and leave at 6.
Because her shift never ended.

The Kind of Strength That Doesn’t Get Applause. 👏

The world celebrates success when it comes with a title, a paycheck, a LinkedIn update.
But what about the women who hold it all together behind the scenes?

The ones who:
✔️ Work, but never get “paid.”
✔️ Sacrifice, but never complain.
✔️ Lead, but never seek recognition.

Motherhood is leadership.
Homemaking is resilience.
Sacrifice is strength.

And yet, the world rarely sees it that way.

So Here’s To The Women Who Work—Salaried or Not.

To the moms, the caregivers, the silent warriors who built us long before we built anything for ourselves.

To the women who didn’t chase careers but shaped futures.

To the ones who don’t make it to “Forbes 30 Under 30” but deserve a lifetime achievement award.

Your work matters. Your sacrifices count.


Btw, My mom is a Beautician by profession.


Who is the woman that inspires you the most? ❤️

They will call you ‘boring’. They will laugh at you. They will tell you, “you have changed”.

They will label you ‘old school’.

Well, None of that matters!

For the longest time, this is the only thing that will stop you from becoming the best version of yourself -

“What will people say”

And when I say that, it’s coming from direct experience.

DUMP it.

Trust yourself.

Give yourself 12 months.

In next 12 months you can change your life entirely:

- Make a gameplan
- Start a business
- Make 6 to 7 figures online
- Network with millionaires
- Tick off bucket list
- Travel a lot
- Know yourself
- Get in your best shape
- Take care of your family
- Make money work for you
- Build that freedom
- Do something uncomfortable every week
- Give back in unexpected ways
- Declutter your digital life
- Audit your circle
- Learn to say NO with confidence

The truth is: You don’t lack time, you lack focus.

The secret ingredient? Laser focus, for 6-12 months.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a week and underestimate what they can achieve in a year of focused, consistent action.

> Say NO to distractions.
> Say NO to people who don’t align with your vision.
> Say NO to habits that keep you stuck.

Yes, people might ignore you, avoid you, or even mock you.

But remember,

they’ll merely be watching from the sidelines when you are out of league and winning the game! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

In 6 months, you’ll be unrecognizable.
In 12 months, you’ll be unstoppable.

And nothing, absolutely nothing—feels better than breaking free and winning on your terms.

Your future self is waiting. What’s stopping you? 🚀

#growth #success #growthmindset #personalbranding

In January 2021, I was desperately & super actively looking for a job.

I appeared for an interview at a digital marketing agency, which really went well.

I GOT REJECTED! ❌


I literally appeared for so many interviews.

Either I didn't hear back from them or I got rejected.

Since Feb, I started FREELANCING.

I started leveraging my LinkedIn.


3 MONTHS LATER ...


The same agency who rejected me, then approached me for work.

I agreed to take the project.

They found it impressive.

I was then offered the same full-time role I got rejected for.

But,

I DENIED. ❌

I was happy where I was. And freelancing journey has been going amazing.


PS: Everytime I thought I was being rejected from something good,

I was actually being directed to something better.

REJECTION IS A GREAT TEACHER.


Did I do the right thing?

Unpaid internships blow me!

You don't deserve someone's hardwork, if you can't afford to pay them.

No matter what❗

What's your take on this?

Would you work for someone, for free?

I used to SUCK at time management. Endless to-do lists, constant stress, and that sinking feeling of always being behind.

Now, I get more done by noon than I used to accomplish in an entire day.

Crazy, right?

I realised, I didn’t need more time, I just needed to manage it better.

After reading, experimenting, and failing forward, I discovered some time management principles that completely transformed how I work.

➡️ Here are the 10 strategies that made the biggest difference for me:

1. Plan the Night Before:

- Win your day before it starts.
- Every night, I sit down and outline my top 3 priorities for the next day.
- I assign time blocks for each task.


2. Time Blocking:

- Own your hours.
- I schedule everything: including breaks.
- Avoid everything that comes in between- no calls, nothing.


3. The Eisenhower Matrix:

- Focus on what matters.
- Not everything on your to-do list deserves your attention.
- I sort tasks into:
• Urgent & Important: Do now.
• Important but not urgent: Schedule it.
• Urgent but not important: Delegate it.
• Neither: Delete it.


4. The 2-Minute Rule:

- Clear the clutter fast.
- If a task takes less than 2 minutes, I do it immediately.


5. Eat the Frog:

- Tackle the hard stuff first.
- I do the most challenging or important task first thing in the morning.
Once it’s done, the rest of the day feels easier.


6. Parkinson’s Law:

- Work faster by setting shorter deadlines. It expands to fill the time you give it.
- Now, I set tighter deadlines for everythin, even if I technically have more time.


7. The 80/20 Rule:

- Focus on the 20% that drives 80% of results.
- Not all tasks are equal.
- I learned to stop wasting time on low-value work.


8. Batch Similar Tasks:

- Jumping from emails to deep work to calls drains your brain.
- I batch similar tasks together, emails in one block, meetings in another, creative work separately.


9. Time Multipliers:

- Buy back your future.
- If I can delegate, automate, or eliminate something, I do.
- Investing time now to save time later is the ultimate productivity hack.


10. Pomodoro Technique:

- Productivity isn’t just about hours,it’s about energy.
- I work in 25 minute focus blocks with intentional breaks.
- Rest isn’t a reward; it’s a necessity.


I’ve learned that time management isn’t about working harder or waking up earlier, it’s about working smarter.


> What’s your ultimate #TimeManagement hack?

2025 has completely changed the marketing game. And LinkedIn is quietly becoming the most powerful platform no one’s talking about loud enough.

Instagram pushes aesthetics.
YouTube demands heavy production.
X/Twitter is drowning in chaos.

LinkedIn is where attention still means authority.

It’s the only platform where:

→ You can build credibility, visibility, and pipeline all in one place.

→ Organic reach still exists — without dancing, trending audios, or virality gimmicks.

→ Founders, VCs, marketers, creators, students, and operators share the same scroll.

Now let’s talk numbers:

- Only 1% of LinkedIn’s 1B+ users. post content. (Yes!)
That’s a creator-to-consumer ratio of 1:260 which means: low competition, high attention.

- 4 out of 5 LinkedIn users drive business decisions.
Source: LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, ESG

- The average decision-maker spends 2x more time here than on other platforms.

And when they do — they’re in buying, hiring, or investing mode.

So what’s the shift in 2025?

→ Marketing is moving from performance to positioning.
→ Trust is the new growth hack.
→ B2B isn’t just “business to business” — it’s brand to brain.

And LinkedIn is the only place where those conversations are happening in public, at scale.

Best part?

You don’t need 1M followers.
You need to show up with strategy, substance, and self-awareness.

Whether you are a:

Investor
Founder
Working Professional
Creator
Freelancer
Student

LinkedIn isn’t just a platform.
It’s your PR, your pitch, and your pipeline.

All in one!

Your personal brand isn’t just how you position yourself.
It’s how you walk into a room. It’s what you carry. How you carry it. And how it carries you.

We spend hours refining bios, pitches, portfolios—But forget that sometimes, the first thing someone notices about you is… your dress up, your bag.

I’m not talking fashion. I’m talking function meets identity.
Because I’ve had laptop bags that looked good, but gave me shoulder pain.

And I’ve always believed that the little things we use every day tell a bigger story:
Of what we prioritize.
What we tolerate.
And what we refuse to compromise on anymore.

I’ve been a MIRAGGIO girl since long. Not because they’re trendy. But because they’ve consistently delivered what most brands miss: balance.

So when they launched their new laptop bag line, I didn’t even have to “review” it.
I knew it would live up to the standard.

And honestly? I’m tired of choosing between “aesthetic” and “practical.”
Miraggio is one of the few that just gets it right.

This new line?
• Built for real days, not Pinterest boards
• Structured but light
• comes with a trolly sleeve
• Sleek but smart
• Actually feels like it belongs in my daily routine

Not selling it to you.
Just sharing something I genuinely use and value.

And I’ll be honest—if your laptop bag still looks like it came from the welcome kit of a 2014 tech job…

Maybe it’s time to reintroduce & rebrand yourself.

The real flex is being able to work from anywhere, taking days off and vacations whenever you want without asking for permission from a boss, and optimizing for quality of life ✨😊

Well, Entrepreneurship & Freelancing undoubtedly gives you the FREEDOM of time, place, working and literally everything.

But just like everything else, it has both: the highs and the lows. I’ve rarely seen people talk about the other side.

— You get lonely and clueless, at times.

— Your are accountable, responsible and answerable for literally everything.

— You don’t take offs unless you have everything scheduled.

— You have to keep upskilling to stay at the top of your game — 9-5? You literally work 12+ hours on some days

— In the initial phase it’s tough to figure out even tiniest of the things, and you go through a lot of self doubt.
But with time & experiences, you learn & grow!

& it’s all worth the FREEDOM that comes with it.


How has your journey been? ✨

Pro-tip: Be Shameless!

Too many of you are playing small because you’re afraid to gasp actually promote yourself.

Worried about coming off as arrogant?

If you don’t talk about your wins, nobody will.

And staying silent?

It's costing you opportunities, growth & sales.

Harsh truth: Most people don’t promote themselves because they fear judgment.

They worry about being perceived as arrogant or pushy.

But guess what? That mindset is holding you back.

If you don’t show up and talk about your achievements, someone else—likely with fewer qualifications—will take the spotlight.

Visibility creates opportunity.

The more you show up, the more doors will open.

Stop hiding behind false humility and start owning your successes.

So, how do you shout from the rooftops without sounding like a bragger?

Let’s get tactical:

1. Share Small Wins Regularly

Completed a project? Share it.
Learned something new? Post about it.
No win is too small to celebrate.


2. Stop talking. Start showing.

- Post your client testimonials and success screenshots.
- Trust gets built instantly


3. 'How To' Posts

- Hook people with exactly how you did it.
- Examples:
“How I got my client $130k in leads in 2 months.“
“How we went from 0 to 5 million views in 30 days.“
- Be specific, give value, and create FOMO.


4. Share your failures

Yup, you read that right.
- Talk about what went wrong, and how you fixed it.
- People relate to this more than your endless success stories.
- You’re human. Own it, fix it, and show them how.


5. Engage with Others’ Achievements

- Celebrate others’ wins by commenting or sharing their posts.
- The more you engage, the more visibility you’ll get too.

Remember:

If you don’t promote your work—who else will?

NO ONE.

Take charge.
Be bold.
Be shameless.

10 things I’ve learned from closely working with Millionaires. Here’s what they DON’T do:

1. They don’t have a victim mentality. They own their problems and work to fix them.

2. They never treat anyone around them with disrespect, they are kind, compassionate and empathetic.

3. They don’t undervalue their time.

4. No matter how old they are, they don’t settle down and keep pushing their limits.

5. They don’t over-rely on others.

6. They never ever give up- regardless of the situation.

7. They don’t take their health forgranted.

8. They don’t live beyond their means.

9. They don’t “show” how rich or wealthy they are.

10. They don’t hang out with leeches. They surround themselves with hustlers, ambitious and smart people.


I feel privileged to be in a position to closely work with them and learn from them. This has given me much needed exposure and helped me broaden my perspectives!

What ‘not’ to do is as important as what to do, in order to grow.


- What’s something you stay away from?

#millionairemindset #growth #lifeadvice #career

Uncommon and most underrated advice, I wish someone told this to me when I was stuck in life:

“If you don’t know what to pursue in life right now,

Pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the:

• Healthiest (mentally & physically)
• Happiest
• Spiritual
• Most Healed
• Most Confident

version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.”

Feeling stuck in life can be really stressful, risky, and depressing, I’ve been there.

When you're not sure where you're going, it affects your mind, body, relationships, and overall happiness.

Invest in yourself.

So you’re better equipped to handle whatever life throws your way.

A strong, healthy, and confident you will naturally attract opportunities and paths that align with your true self.

When I was unsure of my direction, focusing on personal growth led to unexpected opportunities and clarity.

Remember,

The journey to self-improvement is ongoing, but every step you take brings you closer to the life you desire!

It’s 2023 and strengthening customer relationships is the key to driving sustained revenue growth and profitability. 🚀

As an Entrepreneur, having a CRM system in place helps me store all customer-related information and help to build enduring customer relationships by integrating sales force automation, marketing automation and customer service.

There are a vast number of ways to apply a CRM system to improve business operations, from automating routine tasks to analyzing customer behavior and tracking sales performance.

I came across Kommo and what I love the most about it is that- it merges everything about a client into single profile that combines communication from every channel, notes, related tasks and more.

No hassle! 😮‍💨

- Kommo Connects various communication channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Email, Phone, etc. into one inbox and also helps you with a chatbot to drive quick convos

• It also Manages customer journey using Pipeline CRM & sends personalized messages at a single click

• Kommo Reviews performance through analytics feature and saves you hours of work
