Tuesday morning, April 2018—I’m 36 and want to quit my company job. I have a house, a car, an office, and good pay—but I’ve recently woken up to the disturbing realization that despite all these accomplishments, I’ve lived my entire adult life with a mediocre mindset.
“This nine-to-five life sucks. I don’t want to be a mediocre guy, a corporate zombie who is not working on my dream,”
I think to myself as I head for work.
“I want to quit my job and become a mentor to those who also want to follow their passions.”
But doubtful and fearful thoughts plague me.
What if my passion doesn’t work out?
What if people don’t believe in me?
What if I fail and people laugh at me?
I have a wife and a young daughter.
What if I fail them?
These insecurities surprise me. I’m a successful salesperson for a good company and the pride of our CEO because of the $300K deals I’ve closed. These are significant accomplishments considering my humble beginnings.
My father was a hard-working, humble truck driver, a lovely, caring man who often gave away the little money we had to help somebody needier than us. One day, when I was begging to go with him on one of his long trips, he took hold of my shoulders and said,
No, son, stay home and study hard so that you don’t have to do what I’m doing today.
My mother was a maid and servant before she had children. She once worked for a rich man who sent his children to expensive English-medium schools. Seeing this, she decided that someday she would find a way to send her kids to the same schools as the rich.
When my brother and I were school age, she decided to take out loans in order to pay for us to go to the expensive schools. All her relatives told her, “Don’t! You will be broke and not have money left over for food!”
She didn’t listen. And then, when she took us to get admitted to the school, she was not let in the school’s gates because she was in old, ragged clothes. My mother stood there under the scorching sun, holding my brother’s and my hands for an hour until they finally let her in.
Strong parents raised me, and because of them, I got out of poverty. But now, to elevate my life to levels even they could not imagine, I need to find the courage to quit my job. I need to believe in my vision of becoming successful at my passion for coaching…
But I keep thinking, “What if it doesn’t work out?”
And then a new thought comes:
“What’s the worst that could happen?
We have to give up a good house and a nice car. Maybe live with my mom for a while. That’s about it.”
This single thought unleashes great strength and a deep motivation in me!
I turn on a video camera and speak into it.
“I’m going to do it, and I am going to make it! No matter what! Watch me!”
“I’m going to do it, and I am going to make it! No matter what! Watch me!”
I have bills to pay, hardly any savings, and many obstacles to overcome. But I wake up every day and go to work on my dream.
I go to a new level of focus, diligence, and daring.
By August 2020, I become the first millionaire in the family, a TEDx and JoshTalks speaker, a best-selling author (twice), and known to many as India’s first Passionpreneur Mentor—me, who lived way too long with my goals, aim, and actions too low.
Looking back on my own “passionpreneur journey”,
I can see that the hardest thing I overcame was my limiting beliefs.
As a 9-5 employee, I didn’t think I had what it took to be a successful entrepreneur. And I had a mediocre mindset. To see my tremendous potential, I had to learn a whole new mindset.
Today I am on a mission to help 1 billion people do the same—overcome a mediocre mindset and experience their extraordinary potential. I catalyze people to quit their 9-5 and mentor them to build their business around their passion.
