Channel: unknown

My business failed, and I wasn't doing anything else.
[4]
I had no job, I had ₹4200 in my account.
[8]
I asked for ₹30,000 from my father, when everything had gone south.
[12]
That was to debt I had to pay
[14]
because credit card company was actually making my life hell.
[17]
They were calling me ridiculously every single day and night.
[21]
Yes, you read the title right.
[23]
I was actually going to give up.
[25]
But something stopped me
[28]
hear this video, watch this video right till the end.
[31]
And I promise, it is going to have an impact on you.
[35]
If you are about to give up or if you are struggling through something right now.
[40]
This is a very honest account of my own life
[44]
of the past two years of my life.
[47]
And I feel this is a very inspirational story.
[52]
I am a YouTuber today.
[53]
People know me, and I am an educator.
[57]
Students know me, but I was none of this.
[61]
A few months ago, I was none of this,
[63]
and I was working very hard to become this, but I was not there.
[71]
I was working from years and years and years,
[73]
I had started off with a business of mine.
[78]
We are not going to get into that,
[79]
what it wasn't, what was it all about? No, nothing like that.
[83]
All I just want to say here is that I started with it, and it failed.
[88]
And I was down by at least ₹10-12 lakh,
[91]
which I had borrowed, so there was a debt,
[95]
and more than the debt there was this emotional burden of failing.
[99]
And this was all happening after me clearing CA.
[103]
So many people think that if you have a strong degree in your hand.
[107]
Nothing wrong can happen to you and your life is sorted forever.
[111]
That's not true. That's not really true.
[114]
Coming back.
[115]
My business failed, and I wasn't doing anything else.
[119]
I had no job.
[121]
I had no money.
[122]
And I can tell you exactly how much I had when I started again.
[125]
I had ₹4200 in my account
[129]
and you may feel that I'm rich, but trust me guys, I'm not.
[134]
I was not
[136]
I am not I don't know,
[138]
because now I earn, but I wasn't, I wasn't rich.
[141]
I come from a very humble middle class family, and I was not rich,
[146]
and I was not in a situation to ask for money,
[149]
but I did ask, I asked for ₹30,000 from my father,
[152]
when everything had gone south.
[154]
And there was no other option I had to begin somewhere again.
[158]
And that is when I asked for my...
[160]
I asked my dad for ₹30,000.
[163]
That is how I started again and that was, again, I mean, this is like four years ago,
[168]
this is not recent this is four years ago, or three years ago or so.
[174]
And then again I started working and things weren't working out, by the way.
[178]
I took and I borrowed money to pay off my credit card stuff.
[182]
You may be thinking, I mean, why, how come ₹30,000
[185]
is the only debt she had to take care of?
[187]
No, that was the urgent debt.
[189]
That was to debt I had to pay because credit card company
[193]
was actually making my life hell.
[195]
They were calling me, ridiculously every single day and night,
[198]
and my living had become difficult.
[201]
So I had to give them something to set them off for some time.
[205]
So that is by I borrowed that money and I was working,
[208]
but I wasn't making anything much.
[210]
And that is how things are going on,
[212]
and they went on that way for almost two and a half or three years or so.
[216]
This is going to be my third year on YouTube, but in the first two years
[220]
nothing was happening.
[221]
I barely could cross 10,000 subscribers
[223]
after one and a half years of my YouTube journey.
[225]
Which is not a very big number, by the way.
[228]
So it started off that way.
[232]
For almost two years no YouTube happening and
[235]
people were treating me not in a good way
[237]
because they knew that somewhere this girl needs the help.
[241]
So they could figure it out probably I was very needy
[244]
and I showed myself needy
[246]
and they could see it and when people know that they take...
[249]
They don't pay you well, when they find that out about you.
[254]
So that was something that was happening with me.
[256]
I worked with many many many people
[258]
during those 2-3 years.
[261]
And none of them were paying me well, I was being terribly underpaid.
[266]
And the reason was that I wanted to do something again of my own.
[270]
I could have entered a normal job but I did not want to do that,
[274]
I had a CA degree in my hand but I did not want to do that because I knew
[277]
that if I go back to that life,
[279]
I will never be able to come out of it.
[282]
And that was not something that I wanted to do.
[284]
So that is how I kept on trying,
[288]
I kept on trying.
[289]
I worked for almost, I don't know, some 10-15 people during those two years.
[295]
I was working with so many people,
[297]
one after the other, because something or the other used to always go wrong.
[300]
Sometimes they would not pay me sometimes they would hold my checks back
[304]
and sometimes they would just blame me for some poor performance or something.
[311]
A lot of stuff happened, a lot of things happened.
[314]
So anyway, this was December 2019 my sister was getting married.
[318]
And I remember a chat with my other sister,
[323]
the one who was not getting married, and I told her that I'm deeply insecure.
[327]
And I don't know if I am doing anything at all right with my life.
[333]
Nothing was working out.
[335]
I was gaining age, and I... Of course,
[338]
I mean you don't,
[340]
you want to be successful as early as possible.
[344]
And of course as time passes, none of us are getting younger, right?
[348]
And so that is something that I discussed with her.
[351]
I asked her, am I doing anything right here?
[354]
I mean, is it going to really work for me ever?
[357]
And that was something I asked her, and she said this to me.
[361]
I remember she said that, you know what Baji.
[364]
She calls me Baji, she says a very nice thing,
[368]
which I did realize about myself later on.
[370]
She said that Baji,
[371]
you are a person who takes very courageous decisions,
[375]
but then, the courage that you need to follow through your decision.
[380]
When you've taken a decision and now you are executing your decision
[384]
that courage you don't have, you lake that courage.
[388]
So, either you decide on doing something,
[391]
or you don't decide on doing something,
[392]
I mean you decide on not doing something.
[395]
And then you stick to it.
[396]
Why are you so jumpy.
[398]
Why are you always this and that?
[400]
If you've taken a decision you've taken a bold decision,
[403]
you've got to stick to it.
[404]
If you've taken a decision, do it.
[406]
That is what she told me, which actually hit me, it hit me hard
[410]
and probably she's watching my video because she's a subscriber of my channel,
[413]
she often watches my videos, by the way.
[415]
So, eye opener, because that was something that I did realize about myself.
[421]
I did realize that about myself, but nobody had ever told that to me,
[426]
and because of which I probably wanted,
[429]
I probably needed not wanted but needed to hear that from someone
[433]
to give myself a little assurance.
[435]
And when she said this to me I did agree that yeah
[438]
my decisions are courageous I've taken bold steps in life.
[441]
And now I need some more courage to follow through my decisions.
[445]
And then that is what I did.
[447]
2019 December, nothing was working out, had no money.
[451]
I was, I will not say paycheck to paycheck, because
[456]
I was blessed to be living in my own house,
[459]
I did not have rent to pay but had I had rent to pay,
[462]
I don't know how I would have managed that.
[465]
So that was 2019 December.
[469]
This is slightly what do you call it superstitious,
[473]
or probably you will feel that this is a small fantasy she is having.
[478]
But really, I do feel this way that something changed.
[483]
With my God.
[484]
I think he saw it, he saw it that this girl is about to give up.
[489]
And if I don't listen to her now.
[492]
If I don't answer her prayers now, she's going to break.
[496]
And whatever we have in store for her.
[499]
Really, I do believe that I'm really really really saying this to you.
[503]
He had so much to give me
[505]
so much to give me, but I was about to give up.
[510]
And Because I was about to give up.
[512]
He could have never been able to give it to me.
[515]
So he had bigger plans for me you're getting my point?
[519]
He had huge plans for me but I think,
[524]
not sure,
[525]
we don't talk, you see, only I talk, he listens.
[528]
He doesn't talk back.
[530]
So I don't know, but this is my heart saying this to me.
[533]
I think, something changed in him.
[537]
He said that if I don't give her now, probably,
[540]
we are going to lose a gem, because I'm a gem, I do believe that.
[544]
I have a beautiful heart, and I don't need to hear this from anyone.
[551]
I know that about myself.
[553]
I have a beautiful heart.
[554]
And if I will do anything good in my life.
[557]
I'm going to share that joy, I'm not going to only and only keep it to myself.
[561]
So probably, that was one thing that changed my God,
[565]
and he decided to finally break it free.
[568]
And then suddenly
[570]
I don't know from where there was this video of mine
[574]
that I shot in June or I don't remember I shot it in June, I believe,
[579]
somewhere in March, April or June, I don't remember.
[582]
That was in the first half of 2020 during the COVID times
[586]
my video picked up.
[588]
Okay.
[589]
That video went viral,
[590]
And there were some 1 million views, or so, within the first 2-3 months.
[596]
Suddenly my channel,
[597]
it went from 25,000 subscribers
[599]
and now you watch the number, the count over there.
[602]
So this is all the count that I have gathered in the last
[608]
eight or nine, seven or eight months, nine months maybe.
[612]
So my progress has happened, entirely in the last nine or 10 months
[616]
it hasn't been even-- It's not been a year, I'm pretty sure.
[621]
It's not been a year.
[622]
It's been 7-8 months, and from 25,000 subscribers, the channel, picked up,
[629]
and it went from 25,000 to 5,45,000.
[635]
Can you believe that 5,45,000 It's unbelievable.
[640]
Yes, it's unbelievable.
[642]
But I was not an overnight success.
[646]
This has taken me six or seven years.
[649]
People do believe that about me sometimes but I'm telling you,
[654]
it has been a very long journey.
[657]
The point of this video is that I just wanted to share this with you
[661]
that when I was about to give up, that is when things changed for me.
[666]
And they changed so beautifully for me.
[669]
Today, I am so grateful.
[673]
I don't want to say a lot because I feel a little scared talking about it.
[678]
It's like a dream, it's like a dream.
[681]
So I just want to share this with you and I just want to say this to you,
[684]
if you are somewhere indecisive, you are scared.
[689]
You don't know where your life is going
[693]
probably wait a little longer because had I not waited,
[698]
had I not tried harder, I would have never gotten here.
[703]
My channel is doing well, I earn good from YouTube,
[706]
I make a little money from the brands also sometimes
[710]
sometimes I don't because sometimes I don't have time to work with them.
[713]
So I just have to decline those offers.
[716]
And sometimes I am an educator, I can't believe that.
[721]
I'm an established educator, you call it for whatever reason, I don't care.
[728]
People may call it some 1000 reasons that why she is an educator?
[732]
It is my hard work.
[734]
I don't care what people say.
[736]
It is my hard work, and I'm so proud of myself, so proud of myself.
[741]
Till the time the success last, I don't know till when it is going to last.
[746]
Till the time it lasts.
[748]
I am enjoying it.
[749]
I am just living it.
[751]
I'm enjoying it.
[753]
And I urge you to do that for yourself.
[756]
This is one life you've got
[758]
pamper yourself with some hard work, pamper your dreams,
[763]
with some sweat and blood,
[765]
you don't know where the results are going to come in from.
[769]
But the day they come, your life is going to be so awesome.
[773]
That is all that I wanted to say to you
[775]
and I'm so excited sharing this video with you.
[777]
Can't wait to upload it.
[779]
Alright guys, thank you very much.
[781]
I just wanted to bring this small, little, little, what we call it?
[786]
I've said the word message, I don't know how many times but
[790]
wanted to bring the small idea to you that when you are about to give up
[794]
that is the moment you have to push yourself harder,
[798]
try a little harder, and just don't give up.
[802]
Don't give up because if you're a dreamer.
[805]
You deserve good things.
[807]
Let them come to you.
[809]
Let your God feel that you know,
[811]
If we don't give her now she will go away, she will be out of our hands.
[816]
Don't let that--
[817]
I mean don't let that thing, stop you.
[820]
Okay, and I believe that, I strongly believe that
[824]
my God actually thought that.
[826]
That if I don't reward her now, I'm going to lose her.
[830]
And I'm going to just let her go, and she's so important.
[834]
Stop her.
[836]
All right, bye.
[838]
Take care.
