I kept buying courses. What I needed was connection.
From zero clients to building 3 brands — all because of who I was surrounded by.
Hey there,
This is going to be a heartfelt one. My story.
It all started with me joining courses.
I blew my earnings for more than 2 years, on just one thing. Paying to get information.
Probably wasted more than 1 lakh on courses I never watched till date. But who cares?
I’m at this point in life because of the people I built connections with.
To even think that a below average engineering student with low self image could build his brand, and several online businesses, it’s surreal.
They key being, the people.
Whether it was me getting clients for video editing, but upselling websites, online programs, design work and much more.
The people I met in college, they helped me with it.
Or getting my brand to it’s first 500 followers, it was the people in the facebook groups wanting to talk to me because I landed a couple freelancing clients. (Social media boss)
Or it was me getting a video call closing gig, because I joined a sales mentorship that I got to know of because of social media boss.
Then having the founder of a massive LinkedIn agency reach out. Becoming their only Indian team member.
Or it was me getting my DM sales gigs, because I knew a couple people, Sanskar and Jatin from the communities.
Specially during the times when I had no direction with my career as I graduated from college, after I left all my freelancing clients.
Or getting the money from the sales gigs, so I could convince my parents to not get a job and pursue this full time. Leading to me creating content (my long hair phase lol).
That leading to me joining AOS Media, as Jatin referred me there. As a content intern.
To me referring my college roommate, Bhuanjai to join as a designer.
That leading to us being promoted, and eventually moving to Pune. Without any plans.
That leading to me creating content again, and the friends from my gym sharing my videos to me getting the first viral video, which started it all.
To me building my agency, having all team members who came because of my brand.
To launching my product, hundreds of people inside, getting great results, and eventually creating “The Journey Club”.
Which started out as a retreat, is now a full blown community.

1:1 consult with Tanmay.
Akshat and I saw that people starting out, or even the ones who have done decently well, are kind of…..
Lonely.
They don’t have the people they can share their ideas, wins and losses with.
They don’t have a community where they can find opportunities.
They don’t have people who are a step ahead of them, to guide them. Because seeing 8-9 figure entrepreneurs only does so much for motivation.
They feel they are alone. They can’t build teams. They can’t find people to collaborate with.
There’s a lack of connection. Real connection.
This is our mission with the Journey Club. To make it the best community for people who are building online in our country.
To give you:
All the information in the form of modules. To help you build a brand, and a business on top of it.
Our access weekly, along with highly credible guests.
A chance to get on private consults with us.
A chance to join our retreats, where you can learn not only the information, but our day to day life.
To get a community where you can build together. Meet online, then build offline.
And so much more.
Our next retreat is at the end of June. We’re bringing information about this game that no-one else has (literally).
