It was March 2021. I was in complete brain fog, not able to take even a single client call, and my adrenals were completely drained because of the repetitive compulsive actions I was doing, which were triggered by continuous haunting negative thoughts. My OCD was crippling at its peak, sucking away all my energy into just doing compulsive actions with devastating gut issues ranging from severe constipation to extreme stomach cramps.

I had very few clients demanding the update calls for their nutrition plans. I was slogging onto the bed with extreme fatigue and a blank foggy mind space. I used to grab multiple cups of strong black coffee to sit in those calls. It used to be a drowsy day with insomniac nights, like a zombie.

There were just a few thousand bucks left in my bank account, and I was newly married too. That was the moment I decided to heal myself from these conditions no matter what. I started to cleanse my liver and heal my gut, and slowly I started to recover and was getting my energy back. It felt like I was getting ignited for my real mission.

That was the moment Siddharth entered my life. It was November 2021, and I borrowed Rs.6999 from my wife to pay for the Silver membership and started doing the courses. Within a week, I borrowed another Rs.20,000 from my wife for the Gold membership too.

I started doing the courses one by one without taking any significant action. My brain fog was still bothering me to take action, but I still kept on pushing through. As I was healing day-by-day, I got better at action-taking too. I attended 4 hackathon seasons before I became a ‘Freedom Finisher’, but still with complete zero sales. I procrastinated for one and a half years without doing anything much, just in an anxious analysis paralysis mode.

Grateful to my accountability partners who pushed me to start taking webinars. Initially, I was perplexed and skeptical of how to get the leads, how to sell, etc...

I thoroughly watched Sidz’ ‘Webinar Selling Formula’ thrice and created my own webinar slides. Then I ran my first Facebook ad and generated over 250 leads for the first time. A hurray moment!

It was March 8th, 2023. I conducted my first-ever webinar with incomplete slides explained in Canva edit mode, where I screen-shared the editing slides itself. Seventy people showed up and 3 people purchased my silver membership for Rs.4999. That literally blew my mind. I just invested around Rs.3000 and made Rs.15000 back. That gave me a huge boost to my self-confidence. Awesome! And the game began.

From then, there was no looking back. I refined my webinar and systems, started experimenting with various tools, and increased my webinar show-up rate from 25% to 40% and conversion rate to 15-20% (look for some strategies at the end). I built my Diamond membership as well, which was selling faster than I imagined. Within 45 days, I was in the ‘Hall of Fame’.

I received the most desired ‘Hall of Fame Award’ on stage with Sidz. That was a dream come true moment for me. Within a span of 11 months, I generated about Rs.33,00,000 in revenue, and I am pacing towards the ‘Crore Club’ soon.

When I attended FBR for the first time in October 2023, it was a purely blissful experience for me. It felt like I was in an ideal school where there was NO fear, judgment, competition, or ego. I was just surrounded by like-minded people. I have been to Vipassana meditation a couple of times, and I always say that the FBR (Freedom Business Retreat) event is a Vipassana for a workspace where people work on their higher purpose of life. That powerful energy made me take up the Diamond Membership, as I wanted to stay connected with the collective energy of this powerful community.

Today, I’ve completely healed myself from OCD, gut issues, anxiety, sciatica, adrenal fatigue, angina, and eczema. And I am completely free from all these!

Now, I have over 417 people in my L1 and over 50 people in my L3, and I love the energy and vibe of my community. People are sharing their incredible journey of healing various conditions such as autoimmune conditions, lupus, fibromyalgia, autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, adrenal fatigue, Hashimoto's, depression, gut issues, etc... This is pushing me further to heal and impact more and more people. I am truly loving myself now.

Here are the some strategies that I have used to increase my show-up rate and conversions:

1. I started nurturing my leads effectively using WhatsApp automation.

2. Providing them with case studies, testimonials, and prerequisite videos even before the webinar in the WhatsApp group.

3. Letting people know my values, my intentions, and what I stand for helped a lot in improving my conversion rates.

Hope these nuggets help you too.

So, this has been my story of transformation. Immense gratitude to Sidz and the ILH family from the bottom of my heart.

I always say this, “When you have a strong purpose in your life, fulfilling that becomes your love, your problem→solution, your inner peace, your joy, your compassion, your growth. Criticism, gossip, people’s chatter are never ever your real problems, so don’t give any attention to these.”      

“If you believe in yourself and walk the path the path opens.”

More power to you,

With love,
