Geetha Sridhar Mikkilineni

On the 9th of February, 2018, a Friday morning at 9am, as I prepared myself to reach the office on time, I received a call from my sister-in-law: "Geetha, Sridhar is no more..."

Crying and sobbing, I ran to my dad and mum. I was 45 years old, just at the crossroads of moving back to Hyderabad from Bangalore since my daughter, who was appearing for her 10th Boards that year, and I was eager to join my family back in Hyderabad after her Boards.

My life stood in front of me with a BIG QUESTION. Shock, loss, helplessness, and insecurity were staring at me.

The family made a decision, and I had to stay back in Bangalore to focus on my career, aiming to bring financial stability to myself and my kids. Life was not easy; every single day was tough.

Confusion gripped me; I couldn't share or talk to anybody. I felt tired and sometimes bored of work, unable to see any purpose in life. I was losing momentum at work, but the fear of financial insecurity lingered, draining my energy levels further.

The only things that kept me going were my healthcare regime and spiritual practices. I took running and yoga very seriously. Still, I struggled to come to terms with life, wondering what was going wrong.

Long walks to GKVK (Agriculture University Campus, Bangalore) during weekends and a cup of filter coffee after the run at the nearby Uppara Darshini were the only things to recharge my upcoming week. This routine went on for two long years. I participated in the TCS 10K run year after year.

But none of this was helping me regain my lost energy. I started reading books like "Living with the Himalayan Masters" by Swami Rama and "The Life of a Yogi." Something was slowly shifting gears. My children moved out of the nest to chase their dreams, one studying in Boston, US, and the other at Queens University, UK. Both were deeply involved in their careers.

Life brought me into a vacuum filled with doubts, fear, confusion, and many others. But one thing that helped me during the lockdown was free online courses. I explored many areas, and then... One day, on the 14th of November 2020 at 9pm, I chanced upon a webinar by Siddharth, where he explained that freedom could be achieved by working from the comforts of your own home while keeping your current job.

This caught my attention. The idea of maintaining my regular work environment without resigning to uphold my family responsibilities seemed attractive, and I was drawn to that environment. I started watching his videos, only to realize later that they were automated.

I would like to take you on this journey of achieving Rs. 1 Crore+ from here. Let's begin and also explore the paths that helped me achieve this beautiful milestone.

1. Cracking the Code – Niche Clarity: One of the biggest achievements was becoming a Menopause Coach. Getting the breakthrough itself was one of the biggest milestones. Many hurdles had to be passed, including acceptance from family and friends. My own ignorance on how to deal with people who were hesitant to pronounce the word "Menopause" was a challenge. Iterations and iterations were carried out with Siddartha through Hotseat on the Monday Morning Diamond Calls.

2. The Biggest Challenge: Webinar Selling: The only thing I learned from my mentor was to TALK ABOUT WHAT THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO HEAR - just their pain points, and offer WHAT THEY NEED. Once I understood the true meaning of the above sentence, life started to become easier. My sales started to soar upwards webinar after webinar.

3. Build a Community: This is one of the best learning experiences I have received. There is nothing more satisfying than serving a community. Provide 10X value to your Silver Membership. Every call with Siddharth about how to enhance my services to my members was truly beautiful. I saw my numbers jump drastically from 300 to 1700 in a short span of 10 months. And then there was no stopping. I started focusing on all the latest digital platforms needed to help my community experience good mental and physical health from the comforts of their own home. I started investing in world-class platforms - TAGMANGO became a game-changer for me. Women loved the new experience of having an app on their mobile – CQC in line with FB/Instagram/YT.

4. The Confident Queen Club (CQC): Siddharth named this community; in one of our 121 calls, we explored names for my community. He just kept asking me powerful leading questions. I felt like I was sitting in front of my Ishita Devata and just chanting sub-consciously. Based on the discussion, finally, the name Confident Queen Club was unveiled.

Every single lady in my community is a Queen. Gamification in the form of Queen Healthy Challenge, Rise of the Queen, Queen Achievers Award... became very popular, and women aspired for these awards. The environment was so healthy; each member was indirectly supporting and encouraging others through her achievements and success.

In fact, many ask me, "Is it not difficult to manage so many women?" I replied with a smile on my face, "Not at all."

5. On August 18th, 2022, we were all at home, having just completed our Varamahalaxmi Pooja – I remember the chanting of the shlokas and katha by my Mother-In-Law. It is done for the well-being of women in the family, invoking Goddess Lakshmi to bless us with abundance, prosperity, and good relationships. On this auspicious day, I received an offer from Siddharth, stating that I had been selected for the Quantum Club. Tears of joy were rolling down my eyes, indicating that I needed to prepare myself for a new plane in life which was just waiting to take off.

Every single day was different; I don’t remember any of those difficult words/emotions/situations anymore. Having a mentor and a coach at arm's length was one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Every single 121 session with Siddharth was like opening a world of opportunities for me. I became a leading Menopause Coach; I saw people, organizations, and news channels reaching out to me to discuss my journey as a Menopause Coach.

The Times of India published a huge article – "Menopause is no longer a taboo topic for Indian women." I was proud to refer to myself as a Menopause Coach. Siddharth started training me in various aspects of my life. One day, he categorically mentioned to me, "GEETHA, THIS IS YOUR SPIRITUAL CALLING. Go full-on in your service and reach as many members as you can."

6. TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY: Siddharth mentioned many times that it is more than satisfying to listen to the results and success stories of your students. Messages like:

“I was under depression for the last two years… and you made me come out of it and gave me a new lease of life.”

“My relationship with my husband of 30 years is now on the path of love.”

“Hey Geetha, you are a blessing in my life. After I lost my husband and my children were away from home, I felt lonely and helpless. After you came into my life, I found a purpose.”

Geetha, I must tell you:
“I am now a professional Graphotherapist.”
“I am now a professional Yoga practitioner.”
“I resigned as a software professional, thanks to Menopause, and now I am living a life full of joy as an artist.”

And endless professions are emerging from women as they redefine their roadmap for the next 25 years of their lives.

This is one of the most satisfying moments of my life.

We have often heard of annual events like Investors Meet, Business Growth, Healthcare Meets, Fintech Meetups, Stock Trading, and Spiritual Gatherings.

I would like to culminate this whole journey into a powerful environment that is taking shape:

What if I tell you that women above 40 in India are all gearing up for an ANNUAL MEETUP – the MENOPAUSE GROWTH SUMMIT, the first of its kind in India. An exclusive event for women because Menopause Matters!

Loads of Love,
