Episode 65: Why the Brain believes “It can’t be simple.”

Share This Post

The brain's job is to give us BS. Anything that seems uncomfortable or unfamiliar, the brain will simply try to dissuade us from that. That is why, in times of unfavourable circumstances – it tells us things like:

This can't work out.

It's going to be difficult.

There is no money coming in this month.

Things will be slower this week.

I have to work harder to make things happen.

If I am not present, no one is going to buy.

These are just examples. But of the 60k thoughts we think everyday, over 90% of them are about why something can't happen or why it can't be that simple. It's always more about why something is not possible, versus why something is possible. And this podcast episode is a living testament of the latter.

I was travelling through Europe, handling a health emergency of a parent, shifting houses, paying up over 40 Lakhs of expenses, not having access to my laptop or my office the whole of September 2023, and yet I didn't make that the reason to not make money. And I didn't make that a reason to not serve people. I did both and I made over $100k even this month.

I want you to know how I did it. So that you never have to believe when someone tells you: this is going to be difficult. Remember, no one can ever tell you how difficult it's going to be. It's your f**king business. You get to decide the level of ease you want to experience with it.

Episode 85: Why Aren’t You Ready for a Group Program (yet)

In today’s deeply reflective and transformative episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the seductive myth of scaling too soon. So many coaches are obsessed with launching group programs—chasing numbers, applause, and the illusion of freedom. But scaling doesn’t save you. It amplifies everything you haven’t healed. If you’re wondering why your group program dreams aren’t taking off—or why they

Episode 84: When you have nothing left but yourself

In this deeply personal and transformative episode, Dr. Gaurav Deka unpacks a truth most coaches overlook: the journey to becoming fully booked starts when you have nothing left but yourself.
