The 1.5 Crore Turnaround Story: A Doctor's Quest for Health and Freedom Online
Embracing Change and Finding Strength: A Journey of Personal Resilience, Entrepreneurial Spirit, and Unwavering Determination
Published on March 3, 2024
In May 2020, a tough year hit me hard, just like it did to many people around the world. COVID-19 came and changed everything we knew about how to live and work. For me, it was a turning point, but in a way I never expected. I had to close my clinic and other businesses I was running.
This was not just a small setback; it pushed me into a deep debt of 1.5 crores. Imagine waking up every day, feeling a heavy weight on your chest, knowing you owe so much money and not seeing a clear way out.
Those days were dark. I felt lost and helpless, trapped in a tunnel with no light at the end. The nights were the hardest – lying awake, staring at the ceiling, haunted by thoughts of "What am I going to do next?" The fear of the unknown, the stress of debt, and the heartache from losing what I had built over the years consumed me.
I had no direction and no plan. The concept of online coaching was alien to me; I hadn't even heard of Siddharth Rajsekar or his community, the Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH), which would later change my life. This was the lowest point in my life, a time filled with confusion and a sense of defeat.
For the next two years, things were tough because I owed a lot of money and didn't know how to fix it. Then, in May 2022, something special happened. I saw an online ad from someone named Siddharth Rajsekar. I didn't even dream that he was about to change my life. He talked about teaching people over the internet, and even doctors could help others this way. I wasn't sure it would work, but I watched 11 of his webinars to be sure.
After 6 months of following him, I decided to join his group called ILH. Looking back, it was one of the best choices I ever made, just like when I decided to become a doctor.
Before Launching My Course
After choosing the Silver membership at ILH in Jan 2023, I dove into Siddharth Rajsekar's courses with eagerness. What struck me most was the structured approach to teaching – it was unlike anything I had seen before.
The moment of realization came when I discovered my niche: reversing lifestyle diseases, with a focus on diabetes (Micro Niche). This wasn't just about sharing information; it was about creating life-changing experiences for my patients.
Siddharth's guidance on curriculum designing and structuring courses was a mind opener. It provided a clear path to not just educate but to transform lives. However, implementing his strategies wasn't instant. Balancing my existing job and the burden of debt meant that starting my online coaching journey took time – around 5 months of hard work and dedication.
What kept me going during these challenging times was the Hackathon – a series of missions and tasks set by Siddharth that needed to be completed within a day. These tasks were not just assignments; they were lifelines that kept my hope alive and my vision clear.
Finally, with the foundation laid and my determination unshaken, I decided to launch my first paid webinar on May 23rd, 2023. It was a bold step towards realizing my dream of helping others through online coaching, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my journey to make a meaningful impact on people's health and lives.
On the day of my first paid webinar, I felt very nervous but also excited. I was going to talk live in front of people for the first time. 37 people joined to listen, and they all stayed until the end.
At the end of the webinar, something amazing happened: One person decided to buy my program. I was so happy because this person, who I had never met, believed in what I was teaching so much that they wanted to invest in their health with my help. This made me feel really good and showed me that I could really help people through my online classes.
Two weeks after my first webinar, I was hit with another big problem. Not many people were signing up from my 1-year program. Feeling stuck, I went back to Sidz's course for help. He had a special way of teaching about selling in webinars. Sidz said something that really hit me: "Don't rely too much on your imagination, just trust the system completely. It works." This advice changed everything for me.
I decided to spend a whole week just focusing on learning his webinar selling method. I stayed in my room locked inside, going over every detail of his formula. I was determined to follow it exactly as he said.
The result? In my next webinar, 27 students signed up for a one-year program with me. I couldn't believe it. I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I cried. This moment was more than just about signing up students; it was when I truly understood the power of the freedom business model. It showed me that by following this system, I could help lots of people change their lives for the better. I felt grateful and excited about the future, knowing I could make a real difference in people's life with this powerful tool. Within myself I said, “All Thanks to Sidz “.

In the last six months, our journey has been nothing short of a miracle, and I'm here to share our story, hoping it inspires you just as much as it has transformed our lives.
First off, we became the pioneers in Tamilnadu by developing a unique online coaching model for reversing diabetes. This achievement alone has shown us the power of innovation and the impact of digital reach.
I've not missed a single week of webinars since May. This consistency, I believe, is the golden rule for anyone aspiring to make a difference. It's not about being perfect; it's about showing up, week after week, sharing what you know, and learning as you go.
By sticking to the knowledge gained from the Silver membership at ILH, we crossed the 1 crore revenue mark in just six months. This milestone wasn't just a financial achievement; it was proof that with the right guidance and persistence, incredible results are possible. After reaching this milestone, I upgraded to the Diamond membership, ready for the next level.
But, what truly matters to us is the impact we've made on people's lives, especially those from middle-class backgrounds who struggle with medical expenses. Our approach has made health transformation accessible to many who thought it was out of their reach.
Our community has grown to over 4500 paid members, with 3.2 lakh leads generated. This overwhelming response reflects the trust and confidence people have in our system.
The feedback has been incredibly positive, with over 2000 five-star reviews on Google in just six months. But more rewarding than any review are the stories of over 1000 individuals who've managed to reduce or eliminate their reliance on medication, thanks to our program.
Our social media family has expanded rapidly, with 80,000 followers joining us in this short span. This growing community isn't just a number; it's a testament to the shared belief in a healthier, more empowered life.
Currently, our monthly revenue averages around 60 lakh, and we've been able to create employment opportunities for over 50 people. This growth isn't just about us; it's about contributing to the economy and providing value that extends beyond our immediate circle.
3 Big Life Lessons to Become a Successful Online Coach
In our journey of growth and success, there are three big lessons I've learned that I believe can help anyone succeed in their coaching journey. Let me share these with you in simple words, hoping they guide you just like they did for me.
It's not about us; it's about the problem we're solving for our students: When we create a product or service, we need to think about how it's going to make our students' lives better. What is the issue they are facing that we can help with? Understanding and focusing on this can lead us to create something truly valuable and impactful.
Having a coach (Guru) and following their system is crucial: It's about trusting someone who has already walked the path you're on. When they share advice or a system that works, it's important to follow it with an open heart and mind. It's not just about listening; it's about truly surrendering to the process, believing in their experience, and applying what they teach with faith. This can make a huge difference in how quickly and effectively you reach your goals.
Consistency is the key, along with the willingness to improve as you move forward: It's easy to wait for the "perfect" time to start, but the truth is, that time never comes. What matters more is taking action, making a start, and then keeping at it. As you go, you'll learn, you'll make mistakes, and you'll get better. The important thing is to not stop, to not wait too long to begin your journey.
These three learnings have been pillars of my success.
Our story is proof that with consistency, a solid system, and the right guidance, achieving your dreams is not just possible; it's inevitable. We hope this journey of ours inspires you to believe in your potential and the power of surrendering to a proven system and a trustworthy coach. Dream big, start where you are, and aim to make a real difference. When we focus on serving others and solving their problems, we unlock a cycle of abundance. They, in turn, enrich our lives, beyond just wealth.
This path is not just about personal success; it's a service to society, a way to uplift and empower. Let's not underestimate the impact we can make. Together, let's get on a journey that not only fulfills our dreams but also contributes to a healthier, happier world. Remember, when we give from the heart, the world has a way of returning it manifold. Let's start today, with a heart full of purpose and a mind set on making a difference.
