There's no shortcut to greatness—you NEED to go ALL-IN! I am the Managing director at Blue Kryon LLC and a company formation consultant with 12+ years of experience. I am also the co-founder of ikigaii planners. Throughout these years, I've realized that there are no shortcuts if you want to reach a point in life where you can chase freedom and charge based on your expertise, skills, and the value you provide. You can cut corners on small things, but for the long run and to live the life you've always wanted, there are no shortcuts. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 '𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞' 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞. Whether it's the initial phase of a startup, the wedding company we formed together, or the growth phase when your company and team are expanding, you need to think from a business perspective. Business is not just a degree taught in courses like Business Administration or Business Management. It is a holistic intersection of finance, sales & marketing, team organization, growth, partnerships, and so much more. As a founder, you can't be everywhere. You will have teams and processes. But if you have a 𝐆𝐨-𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 and a 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜, you will outshine and see progress every day! Would love to know thoughts of fellow professionals & folks on LinkedIn. To more learnings, experiences, and growth! Cheers, Heeital Ps: Below is the Image of Dubai Trade Centre that I clicked sometime back.

It’s been 365 days since I started a new chapter of my life and moved to Dubai. Now I call this place my new home. Looking back, it feels like just yesterday when I was a young dreamer. I still remember back in 2020, I used to write a dream journal. One of the dreams I wrote was... "Visit Dubai" Little did I know, soon it would become reality. Growing up in a middle-class Indian family with 15 other family members… Leaving everything behind and moving to a whole new place was not an easy decision The last 1 year has been the most challenging of my life. - I cried alone many times. - I felt lost & lonely many times. - I dealt with worse stress & anxiety. But I had made up my mind – I didn't come here just to turn back. Today, I'm fortunate to be in a better place than I ever imagined: - I have got my own visa. - I met so many amazing folks. - I explored beautiful places in UAE. - I worked with some of the best clients. - I traveled to 3 countries in the Middle East. - I now have a crystal-clear vision of what I want. I still can't believe how far I've come. All thanks to the online marketing & coaching space, it changed my life. This industry has given me time and money freedom. And through my service, I have had the honor of changing other coaches' & experts' lives. If you’re a coach, consultant, mentor, or expert who wants to SERVE in a meaningful way, But you feel stuck when it comes to marketing & getting clients. I'm here to help you 1:1 with your journey. I help folks like you to sign 3–5 clients a month organically - Kinda clients who are willing to pay $1k-$5k for your offer. ... WITHOUT complex tech, turning off your audience, or a hard-selling approach. If you're interested to know more, comment below #Impact or send me a DM, and we'll chat to see how we can make it work for you.

actions I took that are helping me achieve ✨FULFILMENT to do what I love. - helping you build a profitable business on social media. 🌴FREEDOM to live wherever I want and work on my terms. 💸MONEY to have peace of mind. (the answer is in the last line) 🌎 travelled to 95 countries, thanks to my jobs in aviation/travel and my eagerness to learn about others. You learn to deal with people different to you, adapt and build relationships easier. 🏠 lived in the UK, Scotland, India, Dubai and now in Bali. Born in Spain. 💸 invested in 2 properties in Spain and Dubai, both of which I´ve nearly paid off. My main passive income and early retirement plan. Already thinking about my 3rd investment…- learn the compound effect in real state. 💻 worked as a Sales & Travel Consultant for 4 ish years. I learnt everything I needed to know about selling to my high-portfolio of clients. Selling is one of the best skills you can learn. 👩💻 worked PT at a marketing agency in Dubai. I gathered all the knowledge and prepared myself to take on clients as an entrepreneur. Prepare yourself before transitioning to a new role. 🧘♀️ consistently prioritize my mental and physical health to become the best version of myself. so you are resilient in your tough moments. 📈 invested in a coaching program and online marketing course. Don’t look at it as an expense; it’s an investment for your business growth. 🚀 created a PREMIUM offer that generates predictable income, makes a bigger impact on my client's business and frees up my time to KEEP growing my business. Can you see it? I am where I am today because I am not afraid to take RISKS; to me, there’s nothing scarier than the thought of remaining stagnant in the same place. Nothing will change if we don’t take action. No matter where you are in your business, just START. \#socialmediastrategists #socialmediastrategytips #marketingstrategist \#socialmediastorytelling #contentstrategytips

Bonjour Network, Well this has happened: 5 years! Who would have thought that I would create my own business - and a successful one - certainly not me! When I look back over my career, I have never been in a job more than 5 years so this is a first and perhaps I was always meant to be my own boss. Having said that I would never have got to where I am today if I had not had the career I had in the corporate and agency world as well as having a very supportive entourage (my husband, our two daughters and friends). As you know I went to the 'dark side' as I call it 9 years ago now and created my business 5 years ago. I had always been a corporate girl up until then. I do not regret my decision at all and it's probably one of the best decisions I ever made in my thirty years of career! No better place than #Dubai #UAE to create your own business - the land of opportunities and positiveness. Don't get me wrong though some days have been and are more challenging than others, especially and mainly in my head space haha! Fighting against should I or should I not, or I will never be able to do that or can't do. ⭐ My father always used to say that there is no such word as 'can't', it has always stuck with me - just try - what have you got to lose!. ⭐ One of my first bosses in advertising also used to say to me 'It's only advertising Nikki, we are not saving lives', so enjoy the ride. I have definitely learnt the true meaning of the word 'Resilience' over the years! ⭐ Big Merci to my wonderful network of client partners, candidates and friends who trust me to do my magic as a Matchmaker:-). I would not be where I am today without all of you 🙌 . Lucky me! More from me soon however in the meantime Santé 🥂 and have a great week! Merci and Be Kind. #bekindtoeveryone #entrepreneur #womenownbusiness #uae #dubai #europe #talent #celebrating #marketing #advertising #communications #creative #brand #digital #tech #ai #executivesearch #pr

But I craved more. Not more money - more freedom. 🌍 Wanderlust took me to 49 countries (and counting), igniting a passion for cultural diversity and understanding. I love to observe and experience. I even got to live in a few of these countries. 🏢 In Dubai, about 18 years ago, I founded my own training company to empower others, driven by the strong belief that each and every one of us is capable of doing a lot more than they think they can. 💰 Challenges came in 2008, just after I opened my business. I faced a significant setback through the financial crisis, losing all of my savings. The only good thing was there was only one way forward, and luckily resilience, some really good clients, and a level of humility fueled my determination to move on. 🏆 Learning from the obstacles, I still made it work. I got even recognized as one of the top 100 SMEs in Dubai. I achieved milestones such as meeting His Highness Sheikh Mohammed or having years of $1M+ in revenue. 💡Today, my journey is about more than success. It's about sharing lessons learned, inspiring others to chase their entrepreneurial dreams, and at the same time keep my own sanity, relaxation and focus on health. #personale #personalbrandingexpert #personalcoaching #personalgoals #personaltraineronline #developments #ecommercedevelopment #personaldevelopmentjourney #growthanddevelopment #peopledevelopment #salescoach #coachingbusiness #salesman #salesstrategy #coachingpersonal #salesandmarketing #saleslife #coachingforlife #salespeople #salesconsultant #coachinstagram #coachtraining #salesrepresentative #salesmotivation #salessuccess #coachman #coacheslife #coachpersonnel #salesgrowth #sellingwithStephan

⚡️Learn to pick yourself UP by yourself⚡️ As simple as this sentence is, it takes a man with full understanding of whom he is, his vision, goals, nation depending on him to always come to the stand point of knowing to PICKUP HIMSELF BY HIMSELF when there is nothing to lay hands upon. At the process of picking yourself up again is where the expected miracle happens. ⚡️Did you lose multi million dollars Business 💸 Learn to pickup yourself by yourself ⚡️Did you receive a sack letter from your job, Learn to pickup yourself by yourself. ⚡️Is the Business proposal not coming forth as planned, Learn to pickup yourself by yourself ⚡️Are those Real Estate Deals not coming forth, Learn to pickup yourself by yourself. At the process of picking yourself up again is where the miracle happens. My Boss and mentor in Real Estate market (Eric Micheal) once shared his story of how he lost everything he had, lost his car, was homeless 😢 and could ask money from people to eat over here in Dubai until he came to a point where he has to pickup himself by himself and went back to his Real estate Business, got a book title: THINK BIG 🤔 and that's how his life changed for Good. At the process of picking himself up is where the miracle happened. I picked up myself 2022 after I lost my Job here in Dubai 3 days after I celebrate my 28 Years birthday but full story of this my journey will be later. We live, we learn #20daysLinkedInchallengewithHaoma #realestatedubai #Haoma #LinkedInbuilding _____________________________________ Seeing my post for the first time, I am Nnaji Caleb Chidera, Real Estate broker Dubai. Are you looking forward to invest in Dubai Real estate or you want to move in with your family here in Dubai, it will be my pleasure to guide you through and give you the best you want in the Market with both location and community recommendations for good investment. Let's connect and grow together. What do you think about Dubai Real.?🤔

What people do in Dubai Do to “Fit In” with high-profile networks: • Skip the taxi; it’s either a Lexus or a rented G-Wagon. • Flash branded clothes and the must-have Van Cleef bracelet. • Only mention their neighborhood if it’s Downtown, Palm, or Emirates Hills. • Drop hints about their “nonstop schedule” and “5-year plan.” And after two hours of this... • No one remembers you. • You’ve learned nothing. • No genuine connection. • 2 hours wasted. Then the complaints start: “Dubai is so superficial.” “No one here is down-to-earth.” Here’s the real talk: It’s not Dubai. It’s you. Your impact isn’t about the car, the bracelet, or the neighborhood. It’s about your presence, the questions you ask, the way you listen. People remember you because of who you are, not what you wear or drive. That’s why I became a CFO at 26, and it’s why I coach top leaders today. 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 every.single.time. Even if I’m the life coach standing next to investors and board members, I don't pretend. No Van Cleef, no luxury car (I’d take a McLaren over a G-Wagon any day), and yes, a few English mistakes here and there. And guess what? I make business with them all, as myself. So, drop the act. Stop judging others by these boxes, and you’ll stop being put in them. ♻️ Do you agree?

2 months ago, I packed up my life in Dubai and booked a one-way ticket back to the U.K. It was the biggest leap in my career. The last 5 years of my life packed into one suitcase. With nothing but big dreams and a plan to build Qaya Network. Leaving a life of luxury behind for humble beginnings in Birmingham felt crazy. I didn’t return for a fancy opportunity or big business deal. I returned because I felt God was leading me down a new path. I had an entirely different plan for Qaya Network. But time and time again, clients kept seeking my advice around building their personal brand. It felt like a huge risk. But one thing I’ve learnt - God makes no mistakes in his plans for your life. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. ⤷ My relationship with God is stronger than it’s ever been ⤷ Physically seeing where I’ve come from has given me a greater hunger to succeed ⤷ Going ghost has significantly fast-tracked my progress ⤷ Being surrounded by genuine people who aren’t fake has given me a new lease of life ⤷ The support from Founder organisations has been unmatched ⤷ Not having any distractions has improved my focus and productivity ⤷ I’ve met incredible entrepreneurs right on my doorstep I say all this to say: ☆ Don’t be afraid to start again. ☆ You can decide to pivot at any point and evolve into an entirely new person ☆ People’s opinion of you doesn’t matter, the only opinion that matters is the one you hold about yourself ☆ What you are looking for can be right on your doorstep if you look hard enough ☆ You don’t need to move to make it, you can make it from your hometown. Dare to stand out. Dare to share your story. P.S. Have you ever been to Dubai?

For almost two decades I have worked for myself, running a small private business in UK. I have also worked for multiple companies and large corporations in Dubai, but one common thing I have noticed in all of them is a certain type of people that I would never want to go in business with. Every day this week I will post a personality type which I have learned the hard way not to engage or rely on and as per usual, I want to hear your thoughts on this. When you start any business or a new job, we are usually very excited for the promising journey ahead, but sometimes we overlook that the most important foundation for any business is ability to select the right people. When you are just starting out, it can be tempting to partner with anyone who shares your enthusiasm. With the right people by your side you can save yourself time, stress, and maybe even avoid some costly mistakes. So here we go…. My first type that I can not work with is the chronic pessimist. For me attitude is everything and in business, this couldn’t be more true. In life and in business you are destined to face challenges, it is just a part of the game. But how you react to these hurdles can either propel your business forward or send it spiraling downwards. The chronic pessimist is someone who always sees the glass as half empty, no matter what success you achieve, they’ll find a way to focus on the negatives. Don’t get me wrong, constructive criticism is essential for growth, but constant negativity can drain the energy out of your team, slow creativity and progress. Remember, negativity is contagious….. Tomorrow I will post another type from my “no go list” stay tuned 😉 #realestate #personalbranding #lifestyle #linkedin #tuesday #businessadvice #mindset #linkedinadvice #dubai #bosslady #positivevibe

This is exactly why authenticity is everything. It's easy to get caught up in the “status symbols” game, but real connections happen when you show up as yourself. People remember you for your genuine presence, the conversations you have, and the way you make them feel. Not the car you drive or the brand you wear. In the end, it’s about adding value with your true self—not what you’re trying to project. Success doesn’t come from fitting in with the crowd, but from standing out for who you really are. #RealTalk #AuthenticityOverEverything
