Worst month of 2024? For sure!
7 Lessons September taught me:
Vulnerability isn’t weakness : One of my team members didn’t share a serious medical condition because she feared losing her job. Little did she know, had she spoken up, we would have done things differently. Vulnerability opens doors, not closes them.
Sometimes, your ‘Plan B’ becomes your lifeline : I realised I can’t rely on social media platforms forever. What if LinkedIn or Instagram collapses tomorrow? I need to build something more stable, something that doesn’t depend on just one source.
Rest isn’t a reward, it’s a necessity: I had a hard month – I flew back and forth to two cities and guess what – I feel burnt out.
In the last month – 3 of my reels have hit 100k and 2 of them have hit millions. Few of my competitors started copying a few things that I did – I was a little pissed but later realised – to get ahead – I just have to out-do myself.
Celebrate small wins : I celebrated my 50k on Instagram – by you know what? Taking a break
Letting go : I had to let go of someone I thought I’d have a long and successful journey with. Turns out, our mindsets were completely different. It’s okay to release what’s not working.
Your health is your wealth : None of the above matters if you’re not taking care of yourself.
September was a rollercoaster, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Growth isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always worth it.
P.S. September ne itna sikha diya jo insaan puri lifetime mai sikhta hai – October please be easy?
Also, How was your september?
