2020 was the second most difficult phase of my life.

The first was definitely 2011 when I married my girlfriend in a temple during the 3rd year of B.Tech.

I was still in college, and there was no source of earning. Life went by, and we sailed through that phase.

We believed that if I got a good job, we would be sorted in life. I worked hard, and I got selected as an Income Tax Inspector and joined the prestigious Income Tax Department in Chandigarh. I thought I had been liberated. And, I was wrong!

Each time I entered my office, it felt like time travel. Not in a good sense though. It felt like things had moved 15 years backward in the timeline. Tasks that I could complete in 10 minutes were forced to be completed in 10 days because of the broken system.

I remember the best contribution I could make to make the system faster was that I convinced my senior to do 1 out of 100 tasks on Google Docs after several rounds of debates and me refusing to work without Google Docs.

And, that’s it! 2020 was the time when I first realized that I am not going to die in this slow-moving ship that doesn’t even know where it is moving. I need to create my plane and escape.

But how?

I sat down and thought about what I love.

I love psychology, I love teaching, I love marketing, and I love business.

But how can I help people through all of this?

The answer to this question was another question: how have I helped myself?

I had been a procrastinator since childhood, and I cracked one of the most competitive exams in India with an All India Rank of 42 out of 38 lakhs registered candidates.

I had helped myself to transform from the regular procrastinator to becoming consistent in every task I decided without using any motivational fluff.

So, finally, I got the rough map of how I can escape this slow-moving, directionless ship. But, I didn’t know how to make a plane.

And then came my plane maker – Siddharth Rajsekar.

"He taught me the exact step-by-step process to create the fastest plane on Earth – a community-coaching-courses system where I can help people like I have helped myself.

I was like, 'Dude! Seriously?'

I was exhilarated.

I was about to use some cheap parts in my plane. Parts that can stop functioning anytime during the flight.

But, that plane maker said, 'Systems work; people fail.' 'Use the best tools so that you don’t need to waste your time repairing your plane again and again.'

I was like, 'Alright, captain!'

But, things were tough on that ship. Everyone, from my seniors to extreme juniors, had an eye on me. My senior, the Dy. Commissioner of Income Tax, loaded me with lots and lots of work.

The most difficult part was – how to take the solution that has transformed me out of my own head and put it in a step-by-step process so it can help others.

At that time, if you would ask me – how can I beat procrastination and change my actions permanently, I would have explained everything in 4 sentences:

“All our actions are controlled by our deep beliefs.”

“Deep beliefs are buried below many layers of experiences.”

“You need to change those beliefs to change your actions.”

“You can change those beliefs by giving solid reasons against them to weaken them and creating new experiences to break them.”

I didn’t know how to implant this idea in someone’s head.

I had to read many books, and one of them was ‘Made to Stick’ by Heath brothers.

This book taught me how to transfer any idea from your head to someone’s head so that they start believing it.

And, the impossible became possible.

This led me to build something that has never been built before.

It took me exactly 2 years to create the most workable model of my plane.

I called it the ‘Deep Changes System’ – a system that would help people become the Consistency Master not by motivating them but by changing their minds from deep within.

In January 2022, I launched the system, and boy, it flew so high in the sky that I generated over 90 Lakhs in revenue in just 1 year, and that too while working as an Income Tax Inspector at the same time.

Finally, in February 2023, I took the final flight and left the slow-moving ship forever. I never went back to my job.

Today, I am sitting on an island, my own island – called the Thinking Machines Community, where I help people beat procrastination through the Deep Changes System.

This island has 4000+ paid members, a 60-day journey hosted on TagMango white-labelled app, a community on Mighty Networks, 4 unique monthly challenges, a number of rewards & recognitions of every step of the journey, and a podcast called Deep Changes Podcast.

Now, when I ask myself, "What impact have you created by leaving that ship”, I read this message from one of my students: “Honestly, as a student of psychology, it was more beneficial than my degree course.”

Today, I wonder, what if I had not met that plane maker?

Would I still be convincing my senior to reply to that email directly instead of taking a printout of the same, putting it in a file, taking 10 days to beat around the bush, finalizing the reply on a piece of paper, replying to it on mail, and taking the printout again to put it in the file?

Sometimes, I feel the plane maker is sitting beside me, asking, “What’s next?”

I look at him and ask, “Can you help me build the most impactful island in the world – a parallel education system where we can transform the directionless people around us who are forced to think like machines into thinking machines?”

He responds, “Yes!”

I inquired, “What shall we call it?”

He whispers in my ear, “Nalanda”

To your success,
