On 25 December 2018, I was reflecting on the previous year. I had been working hard for the last few years but had not been able to create much financial progress in my life. During this introspection, I unearthed some magical elements that had influenced my life positively but had remained under-utilized. Now, as the new year approached, I started writing down all my aspirations
with renewed hope and determination. They weren’t just ‘New Year’s Goals’—I named them my ‘New Life Goals’!
As 1 January 2019 dawned, I made a WhatsApp group with myself. I downloaded a few images from the Internet and even edited some of them to suit my purpose. These were the images of objects and places that seemed out of my reach at that time, but I dared to make them my goals.
This part of my life is personal and could lead to judgment, but in this book, I want to be 100 per cent transparent with you as I believe that my journey, filled with a touch of madness and a step-by-step approach, can inspire and help you lead the life you desire.
One of my aspirations was to buy two Apple watches—one for me, one for my wife—and a MacBook for my work. So, I downloaded an image of a couple wearing Apple watches and sent it to my WhatsApp group along with the photo of a MacBook.
Another dream involved owning a Mercedes—not for external validation, but for deeply personal reasons related to a childhood experience. So, I even photoshopped a picture of a Mercedes car alongside us.
I also envisioned the type of house where my family would live and found an image on the Internet that matched my vision. Anyone can call this act as ‘foolish’. It won’t be wrong in saying, ‘If you don’t have money to buy an Apple watch, you don’t dream to own a luxury car or a house.’
And yes, as a coach and trainer, I aspired to deliver TED talks too.
My childhood was marked by financial hardships, and I never believed I’d have the opportunity to travel outside of India. However, my wife, Gunjan, came from a family that travelled to some parts of the country annually. I photoshopped an image to place me and my wife in front of Sydney’s Opera House.
As I was never able to go to college because of financial constraints, my wife and I wanted to contribute to the education of others. Hence, we resolved to fund the education of at least 100 students. My other goals included freedom to work from anywhere, a nice office for my team, a fit body, and many more.
Now, let me share the results.
I was able to achieve 100 per cent of my goals using the fundamentals I am going to discuss in this book.
Even the goals which were 100x of my financial worth, even the goals which sounded impossible to many—I was able to achieve them all.
2019: We got Apple watches and my MacBook.
2020: We moved to a nice office.
2021: We moved to a beautiful house and bought a Mercedes.
2022: I delivered my first TED talk and worked from Goa for a fortnight.
2023: We funded the education of 100 students, took a ‘one-way’ flight to Australia, visited the Oprah House, clicked the exact same picture as I had photoshopped and worked from Australia for a month. In 2024, we worked from the US for a month, and then in 2025, visited four new countries.
