I’m 28 ➔ I’ve built a $100k/yr agency ➔ Led teams in $100M companies ➔ About to launch an Ecom brand All while working a 9-5 But this isn’t even the full picture The truth is... My journey was brutally difficult. Ever since I was 5 I felt like I was playing school on hard mode • Writing • Reading • Studying I put countless hours in, only to get poor results. My teachers thought I'd amount to nothing “Learn a trade” they said That’s British for you’re not good enough. And if I’m being honest, I thought they were right Until at 17 I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia (A learning disability which makes language painfully challenging) But, instead of identifying with it. I spent months in denial. I refused to accept that my brain was 'different' Because as the son of South Asian parents, learning difficulties simply don’t exist The answer is always ‘Just work harder’ To escape this nightmare, I looked for things I enjoyed: • Selling sweets • Flipping stuff on eBay • Renting rooms on Airbnb I was hooked I loved building offers people wanted And in that process realised something I was making more money than some of my teachers. Maybe this was my real calling? But I had to confront reality My parents didn’t approve They wanted a stable path for me And knowing how much they’d sacrificed I decided to honour them and meet in the middle. So I studied my backside off through high school And managed to scrape my way into law school Whilst at the same time I was learning how to become an entrepreneur • Invested in self-education • Did unpaid work for mentors • And started building my own businesses But guess what? I failed. Big time. More specifically, 3 failed ventures in 5 years • Online business selling gift items • Ecom brand selling homeware • Info-product business teaching self-development It was soul-crushing. The comments of my teachers and parents came back to haunt me. "You’ll never make it" "You’re not made for this?" "Why are you wasting your time?" I'd seen my mentors make it work. Same ideas and markets Why didn't it work for me? I looked hard in the mirror. The common denominator? It was me. Simply put, I needed to level up And at the same time, I also needed stability. So, I gave in and started looking for a job. And somehow in my search, I lucked out. Found one at a global consultancy Which gave me an opportunity to: • Work with the largest brands in the world • Build D2C skills on someone else’s dime • Learn from industry experts The best part? I was getting paid well for it. It was the best apprenticeship I could’ve asked for And after 4 hard years at the job, • Doing 9-7 hours • Working with clients in Eu, Asia, NA • Generating over 7 figures for household brands I finally decided I was ready to get back on the horse again. "Surely, I’d make it now with everything I know” So I started a venture with a friend of mine. But 6 months in? $0. "Not again..." I thought. All my past failures came racing back to me • Have I wasted my time? • Should I give up my dream? • Maybe I’m really not cut out for this No. My business partner and I had invested 100s of hours. And he'd just quit his job. We had no choice but to make it work. So we grinded even harder. • Countless networking event • Hours refining our pitch • Building out systems Then day 175 came. It happened. It finally happened. We signed our first client. And boy was it a big one. They were worth 9 figures. All those countless failures hadn’t gone to waste. It brought us to this very moment. Fast forward to today? • I have 5 team members • My business makes 6 figures • About to launch an Ecom brand The best part? I can easily quit working 9-5 now. So why am I sharing this story? I want to give you hope if you’re reading this. Whether you’re a 9-5er Whether you’re a student Whether you’re a busy parent If you're building something I want to help you achieve this dream. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not Alex Hormozi. But I’m certainly not a beginner. And I promise you this: You won’t be getting the nonsense most gurus spout. Because I’m not building my business on X I don’t need to. So you’ll only get my raw, unfiltered experiences (with a side of pastries and coffee.) If you want to receive my no BS insights on building along the 9-5, Then join me on my journey @makesomemoiz

“The market is saturated” Yeah but: 60% don’t care 20% are DM bros 10% have bad products It’s not saturated if you’re continuously improving.

The only thing holding you back is what you believe you can’t do. Challenge that belief.

I almost settled in my 9-5 and never started my business. Here’s how you can do the same: • Stop learning • Seek comfort • Aim for ‘balance’ • Consume not produce Want a different life? Then do the opposite of the above.

My favourite part of Money X? People here want to make an impact. For me, that means: • Generating healthy profits • Building my consulting biz • Sponsoring children’s education with profits What does impact mean to you?

Businesses don’t die from lack of effort. They die from effort spent on the wrong tasks.

A big skill that helped me get to 6 figures: Asking more questions. • For knowledge • For feedback • For the sale Curiosity creates clarity.

How to get what you want? Master your tolerance for: • Discomfort • Uncertainty • Delayed rewards The more you can handle, the greater your chances of success.

I used to admire people who never quit. Now I admire people who know when to quit.

At 20, I made $34,745 by renting out my bedroom on Airbnb. Why? I ran out of money at university. So I’d: • Clean • Sleep on floors • Study & repeat I used the extra cash to test business ideas. Most flopped—but each failure taught me something. The real win? Betting on myself early.

Daily Reminder: The market isn’t saturated. Your attention is.

People dumber than you are winning in life. Why? They’re too stupid to know when to quit. Don’t give up. Your next win is around the corner.

Your clients' wins are your wins. Your friends' wins are your wins. Your family's wins are your wins. But not everyone sees it this way. My view? Cut those immediately. Life isn’t a zero-sum game. Think with abundance, not scarcity.

Most underrated skill of 2025? It’s not: • AI • Writing • Storytelling It's divergent critical thinking. If you can't think for yourself then no tech, business or mentor will help you.

Every person should make their first $500 online before starting a business. Why? • It inspires confidence • Builds basic digital skills • Educates you on the multiple ways to do it. What’s your preferred way to get going online?

If you can’t describe your customers’ needs, pain points, and motivations in precise detail... You haven’t done enough research. Keep talking to them.

Most underrated skill? People skills Learning how to: • Manage a team • Be a person worth helping • Handle difficult conversations Will take you further than any degree ever could.

Biggest mistake I see? People blaming market saturation for their lack of creativity.

I barely saw my parents growing up. As immigrants, they: • Retook exams • Worked endless night shifts • Earned minimum wage as junior doctors All to build a better life. Meanwhile, you have the internet and a laptop. It’s never been easier to win.

I once turned down a $15,000 client. Why? They had unrealistic expectations. I ended up refunding them immediately. No amount of money is worth your sanity.

Daily Reminder: If it scares you, it’s probably worth doing.
