Hello there,
It’s been a month since we last spoke.
I had a beautiful time during my travels in August. There are lots of things I thought of - some even influencing how my work and inner values will shape going ahead.
I don’t even know where to start.
Perhaps we do short random points?
#1
I’ve had a dilemma for a while about if what I’m doing okay is the right thing to do.
It’s surely an offbeat career path picked up well but I don’t know how long it’ll last. But I won’t know… until I keep pursuing it. After all, I want to spend my life finding out my purpose in a way that serves others. And that’s not one straight answer, is it?
#2
I think I want to talk more about self-awareness. I know it’s a term thrown off casually but I kid you not it’s the most powerful thing in the world to unleash what you have and do things more significant than you expected.
Of course, I realise that I sound like I’m on the greens saying that (if you know, you know).
#3
I downloaded Instagram after 2 years for these four weeks. My best photos are still not anywhere on social media. While I shared pictures, I still didn’t want to create a subconscious facade of ‘living my best life’.
It was also strange to see the extent to which people go to do this.
In all honesty, though, I mostly stalked my favourite Bollywood stars. I’m big on Bollywood.

I realised I screwed up in many ways.
My course, Summit 21, started in January 2021. So did my other digital products. Everything launched within the first 7 months of this year.
I really burnt out… I didn’t have to do it all. I didn’t have to do so much. I even started letting go of my guarded productivity and did stupid stuff like:
check my email a lot
checking social media upon waking up
This made me more stressed and anxious.
I’m quite sure this is why
I got my first ever white hair. Like over 25 of them!
Gained weight in July by doing nothing different (except sleeping less, which I know is unhealthy)
Was so stressed and anxious
I didn’t spend as much time w my family
Worked a lot, thought about work a lot
This was completely avoidable. I can’t undo what went wrong, but I will try that it gets better from here. I’m doing this by:
hiring folks to delegate work
quality > quantity which means limited freelancing
re-strategising how I want to scale my business
#5 Internet Popularity
Yes, this is the only point that deserves a heading. For the ones who know me, you know that I’m socially awkward AF and I just like to write and keep it low.
But my LinkedIn blew up with over 17,000 followers in these four weeks. So now we’re at over 56k…
There was one morning in Berlin when I was so affected by all the hate I got. But I guess that’s what it takes to grow. So I’m going to keep going regardless of 0.001% of my audience typing $hit. :)

I want to put people I love over everything.
#7
The last one.
I truly feel in sync.
My inner world is aligned with my outer world. There’s no other way I’d rather feel.
I want to see what I can do to extend this feeling to those who need it.
The Fun Stuff
My travels were so much fun! And I’m going to write about them the next time. But I did write two articles you might enjoy:
See you next week!
Love,

Are you married. If not do you have a boyfriend?
