Wins, Challenges, and...

Hellooooooo!!

Starting off October with all the positive vibes!

It’s my birthday month, the official start of the festivals, and the pride of saying I made my first lakh in a month at 26.

Yes, we closed September at ₹106,038! 🎉

The next challenge I’m setting for myself is BIG ... but, let’s talk about that in a bit 😉

Now, let’s get to what you are here for :)

If you missed my LinkedIn post, let me quickly recap the story and share the material.

(In case you wanna skip the story, scroll to the end to check out the proposals I shared with the client

— but please read the PS statement, it’s kinda important for me 🙂)

So, it all started with this inbound message on August 3rd...

After a lot of phone calls and back and forth I shared the initial proposal on 20th.

I then got a call, asking for another service, which I prepared a proposal for and shared on August 31st.

Then after a LOT of followups, I got an answer to call him tomorrow, which I did.

To put it in short, they wanted me to do ‘more’ research and wait till November end to start the project IF they decided to go ahead with a freelancer.

I said, “No, thank you”.

I’ve explained the story and conversations in detail on Linkedin, in case you missed the post!

(While you are at it, let’s connect on LinkedIn too!)

So, this brings us back to the proposal that you see in the screenshots.

I have removed the client’s name but it carries the exact quote I had shared with them, cause I’m always transparent with my numbers.

For some context:

The client provides eco-friendly biotech solutions for sanitation, odor control, and waste management. Using proprietary biotechnology, they offer sustainable products that reduce environmental impact, improve hygiene, and help industries meet environmental standards.

I shared a proposal for end-to-end LinkedIn Marketing, with add-ons like profile optimization and more! Check it out here!

I shared another proposal for blogs and website content. In case you are interested.

After years of self-doubting, I have started thinking big for myself. 

When I crossed 1000 followers on Linkedin, the next milestone I set was not 2000, not 5000, but 10,000.

When I earned 100K last month, the next goal I set for myself - is to take up a
₹1,000K (aggregate) challenge by the end of 2024.

₹300k+ per month, not so tough, right?

Anyway, I’d need an extra nudge for this, that you can give!

We’re a family of 48 now! (super grateful for each of you 🥺 )

If you’ve found my newsletter helpful, entertaining, or inspiring, in any way, please refer a friend, colleague, or fellow freelancer to subscribe!

I’ll start this challenge when I hit 100 subscribers!

I want to share my learning on this 1M in 3 months journey with more of you.

PPS. The more you delay, the more challenging it will get for me, so please consider, hehe!

and…

As a thank you, I’ll share the editable templates of these proposals with you guys. 

Customize your colors, add your research and costing, and slay!!

Wish me luck with this challenge.

To pushing yourself 10x, because 2x is so middle class, Monisha!

See you next Friday!

Love,

Nikita
