Hey! 👋
Ever thought about trying your hand at business or diving into a serious side project? ⚖️
Obviously, if you are reading this email, you did it.
I strongly believe that everyone should give it a shot.
Here’s why:
🌱 Mindset Matters
When you start building something of your own, your mindset gets a serious upgrade ↗️
You think like a businessperson. You become more attractive to employers.
Everyone wants you to be a part of their team 💪
💼 Job vs Side Project
Working a regular job is like having a single scoop of ice cream when there’s a whole sundae waiting for you 🍨
Limited exposure.
On the flip side, side projects force you to dive into the nitty-gritty of business, making you a more versatile professional 💝
📚 Here’s Bhakti’s Journey – A Classic Case Study
Meet Bhakti, an architect by profession, who was desperately looking for a job last year.
Rejections and low-paying offers were all she could find.
Finally she decided to change her destiny. She started taking her own projects 🤘
💡 The Turning Point
Within a year, Bhakti didn’t just start taking her own projects but she also registered a business.
She has been partnering with leading brands and some companies in her industry 🤝
Companies want to partner with her now 🤩
What’s the secret sauce? Let me break it down:
(1) Proven Experience and Portfolio
Bhakti now has a track record that speaks volumes. A portfolio that screams – I have done it ✅
(2) Mastering the Business Side
Companies are eager to partner with her because she’s not just an architect anymore. She’s a businesswoman 💸
She knows the demands of her industry. She knows what works in the market.
Hiring, marketing, sales funnels, operations, finances — you name it, she has done it all 🔥
🔓 Unlocking Opportunities
Even if you’re looking to build a full-blown business, a side project opens doors to better opportunities.
You become a hot commodity in the job market 🚀
Companies recognize the value of an employee with an entrepreneurial mindset.

✔ WHAT I DID THIS WEEK
This week kicked off with a bang as I attended the IAF Air Show on Marine Drive. The energy was through the roof and the Air Force left me with goosebumps from their jaw-dropping stunts 🛩️
I put on my teacher’s hat and recorded not one, but two videos this week 🎥
I started re-reading “Expert Secrets” by Russel Brunson. This book is a marketing guide. I’m taking detailed notes on my second read. It’s like uncovering hidden treasures of marketing wisdom 📖
