When Trust Is the Most Important Thing
Every business owner has doubts that are very loud at times.
The kind that makes you question your goals, takes away your drive, and makes you wonder whether you’ve been chasing smoke.
Those times were much like any other for me.
I would sit in front of my laptop for hours, not because I needed to do something, but because I didn’t know what to do next.
I was stuck and not making any progress.
I felt like I was caught in the mud, working more and getting less.
Someone showed up just as it looked like things were going to fall apart.
Not with a secret formula or a plan to make ten times as much money, but with something much stronger: trust.
I met Nageshwar Shukla, a business coach.
He knew I could do big things long before I did.
But this isn’t just my tale.
This is a reminder of how things can change when someone lets you be yourself, even when you feel like you’re coming apart.
When Self-Doubt Stays
It’s easy to start a business.
It’s the late nights, money problems, and constant second-guessing that follow after the honeymoon phase that really put you to the test.
I wanted to make a difference and had big dreams and ambitions.
What is true, though?
It hit hard, like a goods train.
The ads didn’t work.
Sales weren’t always great.
Every “no” made my already shaky confidence worse.
Social media didn’t help much.
I felt like a fake in my own life when I read stories about folks who made six figures a month and were happy.
Did I actually have what it took?
Was this what I was supposed to do?
Those ideas didn’t just come and go; they were always there.
That’s when I saw a coaching story that wasn’t from a flashy ad but from someone like me who had learnt something from coaching.
Changing the Meaning of Coaching
I believed coaching would just educate me how to work hard and make sales funnels.
I thought about things completely differently when I talked to Nageshwar for the first time.
He asked a question first, not a list.
“What do you want to do?”
It wasn’t a sales pitch.
It wasn’t a quiz.
It was a reflection.
He didn’t get furious at me when I couldn’t find the right words.
He leaned down and murmured something that stuck with me:
“It’s okay to not know.”
But you have to keep looking.
That moment hurt something vulnerable in me.
And something stronger started to take its place.
The Power of Being Seen
Seeing yourself not as you are now, but as who you could be, can have a big impact on your life.
Nageshwar didn’t treat me like a founder who was having a hard time.
He saw someone who was about to start a new chapter but was too afraid to do it.
He wasn’t there to make me happy or excited.
He offered me the skills I needed to learn more about myself.
To show how hard it appeared to be a perfectionist.
The false modesty that comes with feeling like a fraud.
I didn’t want to ask for help since I thought real leaders could handle things on their own.
In each session, it wasn’t just about business; it was also about becoming.
And faith increased little by little over time.
Not because my business’s numbers changed overnight, but because I did.
From Disorder to Order
I used to be a firefighter before I became a teacher.
I was always busy trying to stay alive.
Nageshwar put the concoction together.
But not the type that is set in stone.
This was the proper amount of clarity.
Goals for the week that seemed possible.
Offers that match what I think.
Ways of selling that didn’t make me feel like I was lying.
These weren’t just random templates; they were made particularly for me based on my skills, vision, and peculiarities.
That’s what occurs when someone really cares.
Growth That Feels Like You
The needle started to move when I had the right tools and believed in myself.
People showed up.
The money arrived next.
But it wasn’t only the figures that changed me; I didn’t feel like a fluke anymore.
It seemed like winning took a lot of labour.
Losses didn’t seem like failures; they felt like numbers.
When things slowed down, I would schedule a session instead of becoming furious.
And Nageshwar would hold up that mirror again, reminding me of what I could do and how I had changed.
Coaching: Not a Luxury, But a Way to Live
I used to think that coaching was only for people who were already doing well and needed to make small improvements.
But I was incorrect.
People who want to grow can get aid, even if it’s hard.
Nageshwar didn’t just tell me what to do; he went with me.
Before he told me to, he taught me how to believe.
What is his genuine talent?
Getting to know new people.
He recognised that the main problems weren’t with other people; they were with the disputes we had with ourselves.
What the Ripple Did
This was fantastic for more than just work.
It changed my life a lot.
I was better at talking to people.
People trusted my staff more.
My clients received what they wanted.
Why?
Because I was clear and not confused.
I finally got what I was supposed to do, not what I believed I should build.
And for the first time in years, I didn’t act like I was in charge of a business.
It was just me.
Still solid and supported while you learn and progress.
If You Don’t Know If Coaching Is Worth It…
Yes, it’s worth it if you really want to be something.
But not just any coach.
Look for someone who understands.
Who doesn’t make you mad but helps you grow?
That’s Nageshwar Shukla for me.
He doesn’t sell changes; he shows you how to make them.
He has a weird mix of financial savvy, emotional intelligence, and a calm spiritual base.
He doesn’t want to change you; he wants to help you make your own mould.
He meets you where you are, whether you want to get back on track with your creative ambitions or grow your network marketing business.
Then he pushes you softly in the right manner. Flow.
For People Who Are Still Not Sure
If you’re reading this and wondering if anyone actually sees you—trying, straining, and quietly falling apart—know this: you’re not alone.
I know how you feel.
I can feel the pain.
I know what it’s like to finally get attention.
When you want to do something, all you need is one person who won’t allow you create excuses.
Nageshwar Shukla is the appropriate person for me.
And maybe, just maybe, he’s the one you’ve been waiting for all along.
