- 10X your money | This is how escaped mediocrity
10X your money | This is how escaped mediocrity
My monthly salary in a job in 2021 was 50,000 INR
My monthly salary in a job(that I never joined) in 2021 was 50,000 INR
In 2023, I make 10x-20x of that monthly salary.
Here is how I was able to achieve this feat and you can too:
1. Soft skills
Being able to talk fluently in English with foreign clients and then switching my language to hardcore Hindi in order to lead and build a team of savages in India, gave me more returns than any hard skill.
Learning video editing is one thing
Being able to sell it at a life-changing price is another
Freelancing is one thing
Being able to lead a team and scale the company is another.
You need a balance of soft and hard skills if you are determined to grow as an Entrepreneur.
If you are already really good at a ‘Skill’ - Get good at marketing, sales, writing, and speaking
If you already know how to speak, market, and sell - Get good at building great products.
You need a balance of both!
Soft skills enhance the perception of your expertise and hard skills
Hard skills alone make you a good slave!
2. Play your game
You will see people of your age doing 10X better than you in every aspect of life - making more money than you make, getting more famous than you are, and traveling to places that you can only dream of!
Forget people of your age, you will see people much younger than you doing much better in life than you are.
At this point, you have two choices:
Feel bad about your life, feel anxious, and ruin your day
Realize that you need to get better than your yesterday self, and play your life’s game in your time zone.
Later is when you experience Joy, happiness, and growth, and will become a younger person doing much better than a person who is 30 years old
BUT
Always remember - you must remain humble because that unknown 30-year-old if wise enough doesn’t care about what you do and who you are because they will and must focus on their game too.
Decide and immerse in your quest!
3. Be stubborn
You need to be almost stubborn to achieve your dreams.
You cannot give up once you decide your quest.
Either you win or you learn!
There are no failures if you don’t quit
Failure is for mediocre majority
For you and me - Failure doesn’t exist
We learn, We iterate, We optimize, and We conquer!
A quick reminder!
Start getting high-paying international clients today with ‘Clients on autopilot’
It has the exact process that I used to 20X my monthly income in 2 years
