What's the story behind your why?
People talk about the why a lot.
I'd love to know the story behind yours.
Great question.
When I was really young, my grandmother used to say
that I was stupid, fat, and ugly.
And I don't think that I ever was any of those
because first I was the number one in my class
with an average of 9.81 out of 10.
I was never that chubby as to, you know,
not be able to fit into an airline seat.
And, you know, so there was no evidence
to what she actually said, but I somehow did believe it.
And I believe for a really long time that I wasn't worth it.
And I think it became apparent to me as I, you know,
moved to London 18 years ago, that I had to prove myself,
that I had to kind of prove that I mattered.
And then I gradually went on this journey
of understanding why somehow I was manifesting so easily
and somehow, and in some days,
everything felt like such a struggle, okay?
And then I realized that, wow,
there are certain things that I'm manifesting really quickly
because I feel joyful.
And then I started running a property business.
And for a long time, for about five years,
it felt like it was the right thing to do.
But at some point I reached this limit
where I was feeling like I was pushing
and chasing money and struggling.
Despite the fact that I managed to increase
the property revenues from 400K per year to 642K per year,
I was feeling like I reached this limit, okay?
And it was only then that I kind of started to go
on this journey of discovering myself
and understanding why that was.
And the more I went on this journey,
I realized that I want to prove that I matter
and how I wanna prove that I matter
is through making something,
creating something that really makes a massive difference.
And for me, creating books that transform the world
is my way of elevating millions of people
to believe that they matter.
And when I do that, when I help them
to fulfill their full potential, I feel that I matter.
That's my way of proving to myself that I matter.
So that's my way.
