I Made $13,000+ in 10 Days, But…

I wasn’t over the moon.

Hi friend,

This month is my highest-earning month.

And we aren’t even halfway through the month!

I made over $13,000 in the first 11 days of September 2025. That’s decent money. That’s definitely a lot of money in my country.

For reference,

• My corporate job in 2021 paid me $8155 a year
• My biggest dream was to earn 1 lakh rupees or $1133/ month before I turn 30
• I’m 29 and luckily have never earned just $1133 because that’ll be a terrible, terrible month for business 😅

However, today’s issue is different.

There’s something I’m experiencing right now, which you may also likely experience in your creator or freelance journey someday.

When you have a full-time job, you operate under a glass ceiling.

For instance, I knew that I could only expect a 10% raise next year. Which is why my ‘big’ goal was to make $1133 a month by the time I’m 30, and even this goal felt too far-fetched and unreal.

Basically, there’s a cap on how much you can dream.

And I don’t come from a family where we have entrepreneurs, so nobody encouraged me…
