7 Years Ago… I Almost Gave Up [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]


Episode #132 -


Hello 👋 Reader !

Exactly 7 years ago… September 23, 2018.

I walked into a small 3-star property in the western suburbs of Mumbai with a projector, a few chairs, and a heart full of faith.

No big stage. No luxury auditorium. No team.

Just me… and a handful of people who had trusted me enough to join my very first batch of Think And Grow Rich.

For 3 hours, every fortnight, I poured everything I had into those sessions. After class ended, students stayed back with their questions, their fears, and their dreams. By the time I reached home around 3 pm, I was exhausted, but deeply fulfilled.

What most people never saw?
Many times, I didn’t even have the money to pay the banquet hall. I would request them: “Please, I’ll pay you next week.” And somehow, my students always paid me on time. Cash flow survived. The dream survived.

It was humbling. It was uncertain. But it was also the beginning of everything.


💡 The Lesson

Every big dream begins small.
And sometimes, all you need is a few people who believe in you when no one else does.

Those first few students didn’t just attend my class.
They gave me courage. They gave me belief.
And they gave birth to what is today a multi-crore edtech company impacting thousands of lives across the world.


⚡ Action Step for You

Look at your journey today.
👉 Who are the few people who already believe in you?
👉 Are you giving them 10x more value than they expect?

Because success rarely starts with a crowd. It starts with a handful of believers… and your decision to never let them down.

Episode #170 Dear Reader ! “I know what to do. Why don’t I keep doing it?” A new routine begins with excitement. Then work gets busy. Motivation drops. One missed day becomes a week. And quietly, “I’m going to do this” becomes “I’ll start again.” The painful part? It can begin to affect how much we trust ourselves. Inconsistency has a cost—even when no bill arrives. Consider these simple examples: Health: Missing three planned 30-minute walks each week adds up to 78 hours of movement missed...

Episode #169 Dear Reader ! One WhatsApp message can spoil the morning. One client rejection can spoil the week. One argument at home can spoil the relationship. One uncontrolled word can damage years of trust. And very often, the problem is not outside pressure. The problem is inside leakage. This is what we discussed in our Monday Call on one of the most powerful principles of success: Self-Control. Napoleon Hill explained that self-control is not merely about controlling anger. It is about...

Episode #168 Dear Reader ! Many people think they have a money problem. But very often, the real problem is not money. It is the way they think, feel and act around money. They work hard. They try to work smart. They learn new things. They make plans. They even set big goals. But still, something keeps stopping them from moving to the next level. Sometimes it is fear. Sometimes it is doubt. Sometimes it is guilt around receiving more. Sometimes it is the belief that money comes only through...
