New Year remorse is real.

The alarm goes off.
You feel tired.
You want to stay in bed.
It’s cold outside.
And the day ahead fills you with dread.

That’s exactly how I used to feel.

Commuting into London.
On the train by 6am.
At the office by 8:30am.
Staying three nights a week in a hotel, getting back late on Thursday—exhausted.
Then telling myself, “Just one more day to go.”

That’s not living.
That’s existing.

I enjoyed it for a while… until it took its toll.
Constant packing. Never really being at home.
And it’s fine—until it isn’t.

So I started changing things.

I spoke on more stages. I loved it.
Then travel crept back in again.
And I learned this truth: too much of anything becomes monotonous—even the things you once dreamed of.

I wrote a book.
I hosted my own speaking events—100 guests in London and Manchester, every other month.
It was fun. Truly.

But after 10 years, something had to give.

I wanted to choose a different way of thinking, feeling, and living.
I knew it wouldn’t happen overnight—but every single day I changed one thing that moved me closer.

Closer to balance.
Closer to depth.
Closer to working inside founders’ businesses—helping them scale, overcome success barriers, rewire the subconscious, and build health, wealth, and happiness as true CEOs.

If 2026 doesn’t light you up yet—there’s time.
A lot can change in a day.
A week.
A month.
A year.

When I finally made the decision to change, I started my third business—and hit 7 figures in 7 months.
The best decision I ever made.

I kept my other two businesses too—just stepped away from the day-to-day.
And since then? I’ve started two more.
Five in total.

So hear this:

Don’t wait.
You only live once.
It’s your time.
Make your dream a reality.

I might not have all the answers—but I’ve scaled my own businesses and 20,000+ others over the past 25 years.

If this feels like your year, message me.
Let’s chat.

🔥 2026: The Year of the Fire Horse

Momentum. Independence. Bold Expansion.

If 2025 was about shedding skins and refining your edge, 2026 is about movement.

The Fire Horse doesn’t wait.

It doesn’t overthink.

And it definitely doesn’t play small.

This is the year where speed beats perfection and courage beats comfort.

The Fire Horse energy is unapologetically bold:

🔥 Fast decisions
🔥 Fierce independence
🔥 Vision-led action
🔥 Leadership that cannot be contained

But here’s the truth most people miss…

This year will reward aligned momentum and punish chaos.

If your nervous system is dysregulated, 

if your business model isn’t clean

if your identity hasn’t caught up to your ambition

The Fire Horse will feel overwhelming.

But if you’ve done the inner work?

If your strategy matches your capacity?

If you trust yourself to lead?

2026 becomes a breakout year.

What the Fire Horse asks of you:

🐎 Move before you feel ready

Waiting for certainty is the fastest way to miss the window.

Lead from instinct, not noise

Too many opinions dilute momentum. This year rewards clarity.

Build for freedom, not approval

People-pleasing kills speed. 

The Fire Horse values autonomy.

Regulate before you accelerate

Power without regulation becomes burnout. Nervous system first.

Choose expansion over safety

Comfort zones will feel suffocating in 2026.

Fire Horse CEOs will win by:

✔ Scaling with speed and precision
✔ Making bold investments in visibility, leadership, and leverage
✔ Letting go of roles, identities, and structures that slow them down
✔ Trusting their intuition as much as their data

This is not a year for:

❌ Playing small
❌ Over-planning
❌ Waiting for permission
❌ Building businesses that trap you

🔥 2026 doesn’t ask: “Are you ready?”

It asks: “Are you willing to lead?”

Because the Fire Horse doesn’t follow paths.

It creates them.

If this resonated, it wasn’t by accident.

I’m opening very limited private mentorship spaces for female founders ready to make £100K+ months the standard.

No funnels. No fluff. Just results.

Private message me the word ‘MENTOR’ for details…

What nobody tells you about scaling…

It’s messy.
It’s chaotic.

And no one — no one — started with perfect systems and processes.

They come after the cash, not before it.

Don’t get swept up in everyone else’s advice.

Stay true to your goal.
Say no to everything that isn’t a direct line to it.

You don’t need to scale conventionally. 
But you do need to do the bloody work! 

And it doesn’t take years to hit 7 figures — if you’re learning from someone who’s actually done it.

Let’s be honest:
In January, everyone became a mentor or coach.

But have they achieved what you want?

Are they even qualified to guide you there?

Not every bell and whistle is required.

You can sell without a sales page.

You can grow without perfection.

Perfection is just procrastination in a prettier outfit.

Tip the balance. Do it anyway.
You’ll pull it together as you move.

If it doesn’t feel right — trust your gut.

Your strategy must feel aligned, or you’ll sabotage it subconsciously.

£100K months are a reality for many.
Those who mock it or tear it down aren’t “protecting” you —
they’re projecting scarcity.

That’s sabotage, not salvation.

This might trigger traditional beliefs.
But truth often does.

And remember this:
Growth is rarely comfortable.

But if you’re willing to stretch…
limitless success is available to you.

Save this post and remember everyone started at zero…but your goal is closer than you think!

Barbados Visionary Reset
16–21 March

In the Caribbean, where Barbados sits between calm turquoise waters and endless sky, something powerful happens.

Your nervous system softens.
Your mind slows.

And the invisible guest you’ve been carrying everywhere… finally loosens its grip.

As founders, our minds are always on.

Planning. 
Fixing. 
Forecasting.

That invisible mental load is exhausting and it keeps your vision small, tight, reactive.

This retreat is the opposite.

You don’t come to Barbados to escape your business.

You come to expand it.

To walk into expansive thinking.

To plan a year of growth like never before.

To map £100K months and beyond from a place of clarity, calm, and certainty.

Days of strategy, alignment, and future vision.

Evenings of Caribbean sunsets, deep conversations, laughter, and perspective.

All spent with female founders who are already playing at the next level the kind of rooms that change everything.

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a visionary reset.

And for many women, it becomes a life-changing turning point.

Comment or DM me the word BARBADOS and I’ll send you the details

If you know it’s time to think bigger, plan smarter, and step into your next level —
the Caribbean is calling. 🌴

I don’t build 5-year plans.

Not because I lack vision —
but because vision without momentum is just imagination.

I visualise the year I’m becoming —
the identity, the energy, the revenue, the lifestyle.

Then I bring it back to 90-day growth cycles:
• One clear revenue focus
• One aligned strategy
• One identity upgrade
• One set of actions that actually move the needle

Five-year plans feel safe.
90-day plans create results.

This is how you scale without burnout.

This is how you stay agile, focused, and in momentum.

This is how £100K months are built — one powerful quarter at a time.

If you’re still planning 5 years ahead but not executing this quarter…that’s your sign.

Message me “PLAN” and I’ll show you how to build your next 90-day growth plan like a CEO — not a dreamer.

THE JANUARY GROWTH TRAP (and how real CEOs move through it)

January starts loud.
Big goals. Fresh notebooks. 
New offers.
Momentum feels unstoppable.

And then… week 3 hits.

Sales slow.
Enquiries stall.
Energy dips.
Doubt creeps in.

Here’s the truth most founders miss 
Your offer didn’t fail. 
The timing shifted.

January cash flow is tight for many businesses.
Invoices are still being chased from Christmas.
Decision-making is slower.
People are warming up not buying at speed yet.

This is a stage of growth, not a signal to panic.

What matters now is how you respond 

Shift from hype to clarity
Look at how to increase customer base
Improve average order value
Increase purchase frequency

Get ruthless with your numbers
What do you need to sell per day to hit your goal?
Reverse-engineer your monthly target
Sense-check your fees against your true hourly rate

See profit daily
Not just in accounting software.
In a simple spreadsheet where you can feel the maths.

Refine, don’t reinvent
Sharpen your offer
Upgrade messaging from interesting to desirable
Focus on actions that directly lead to sales or savings

Delegate & declutter
If it doesn’t move you closer to your goal, it’s noise.

And the biggest mistake I see?

🚫 Expecting to sell without connection.
Content alone isn’t enough.
Growth requires two-way conversations — real human interaction with your ideal client.

Because if cash is the goal, then be honest: Everything else is fluff and vanity.

Real growth is focus.
Alignment.
Daily selling + saving.
Looking after the clients you already have.

Ditch the endless ideas.
Create cash content.
Nurture relationships.
And lead your business like a CEO not a content creator chasing dopamine.

This stage is normal.
How you handle it determines everything. 

If £100K months are the goal — not vanity metrics or busywork, but real profit and momentum — this is your next move.

Message me MONEY to learn how to:

• Create consistent £100K months
• Align strategy, mindset & messaging
• Focus on daily cash-creating actions
• Scale like a CEO without burnout or fluff

This is about clean growth, confident selling, and wealth that supports your life.

Struggling to grow on LinkedIn? || My clients generated 2M+ impressions || I will teach you how to make money on linkedIn || I run a show on LinkedIn ||

I help C-suite leaders turn LinkedIn into a Platform for authority and revenue.

Most people on LinkedIn focus on visibility.

A few build influence.

Very few turn that influence into consistent monetisation.

That’s the gap I work in.

What I help you do:
• Clarify what you should sell based on your expertise and positioning
• Build authority-led content that earns trust, not just attention
• Grow the right audience decision-makers, buyers, and partners
• Convert visibility into inbound leads, opportunities, and revenue

How I work:
• I don’t chase trends or vanity metrics.
• I focus on clarity, positioning, and systems that compound over time.

Why listen to me:
• I am already working with CFOs, CMOs etc.
• Helped clients improve reach, engagement, and monetisation
• Ranked in the top 3% of LinkedIn creators
• Generated millions of impressions through authority-based content

If you’re: 
• Visible but not monetising
• Respected but not converting
• Posting but not driving real opportunities

Then LinkedIn needs a clear revenue and authority strategy, not more content.

📩 DM me “AUTHORITY” to start the conversation.

Mohd Hashim

If you are a creator and not making money,
you must understand that passion is not a plan.

Passion is important, but it doesn’t pay your bills.

If you are struggling, or have been posting for months and still aren’t making money,
you might be thinking:

I am not good enough.
       OR
I am so good, people just don’t understand.

You know what you actually need to make money?

I’ve helped 20+ clients
and run a free community.

It’s not out of the blue, I’m going to share it with you.
You need one plan, which includes three things:

1. Your skills
2. A problem you can solve
3. An offer that makes you money

🟡 Being passionate keeps you motivated,
🟡 But you need a plan to make money.

🟡 Start with your skills.
🟡 Work on them as much as you can.

Now, your skills must align with your ICP’s problem.
Either you save them time, or you make them money.

🟢 When you have these two, package it.
🟢 Packaging is very, very important.

🟢 If these three things are aligned,
🟢 You will make the most of it.

Passion without plan is a disaster.

Follow Mohd Hashim,
I write about LinkedIn monetisation and growth.

Mohd  Hashim

Helping C-suite leaders build authority and monetise LinkedIn || 3M+ Impressions || Running free community for creators||

The most common question I've been asked is.

How much should I charge? 

There are a few formulas you can determine how much you should charge.

1. Based on your salary.
If you had a job, what would be your salary?

Let's take $10k/ month.

1 month = 176 working hours.
10,000/176 = ~56$/ hour

Now, you check how many hours you're going to put to work. and multiply it by your per-hour rate.


2. Based on your product.

Let's say you are a designer.
You charge $20 for a carousel.

Now, client wants to hire you for monthly price.

Monthly price = $20 x number of carousel

I suggest you to give 5-10% disccount, as this going to be a long project.

First framwork is usually the best one.

Do not underprice yourself, because of your location.

Price yourself based on your skills.

Follow Mohd Hashim,
For more linkedin growth and monetisation content.

LinkedIn's algorithm is easier than ever right now.

Not because it’s dumbed down.
But because it’s finally clear about what it wants.

You don’t need trendy topics or viral hooks.

LinkedIn is quietly promoting three things:
• Real expertise
• Personal context
• Practical learning

That’s it.

The platform’s current system (often called the “360 brew”) doesn’t care how flashy your topic is.

It watches how people behave around your post

Do they stop scrolling?
Do they save it?
Do they read?

If yes, it spreads.

That’s why experts are winning again.

But people who share:
– What they’re working on
– What they learned the hard way

Personal content isn’t about oversharing.

It’s about adding context to knowledge.
For example:
 • Here’s what I tried.
 • Here’s what didn’t work.
 • Here’s what I’d change next time.

That’s learning. credibility.
That’s algorithm-friendly.

LinkedIn boosts posts that help someone think more clearly after reading.

If you feel like you have “nothing to post,” that’s usually not true.

You’re just sitting on lessons you haven’t turned into language yet.

PS: One honest lesson can easily become 3–5 strong posts if you frame it right.

Follow Mohd Hashim, for more such content.

The most common mistake creators make while doing research is.

They think a post with 1000 likes is a viral post.

If lara get 1000 likes or someone with a million followers gets 1200 likes, it doesn't mean they are going viral every day. 

That's their average numbers. 

That's the most common mistake creators make

They consider more likes as virality, 
But virality is an outlier. 

for example. 

If my average likes on posts is 150 and one of my post get 500, that's the viral post. 

Even 100 likes can be viral for someon whos average likes is 15. 

When you sit for research, 

Look for outliers, not for more numbers.


Follow Mohd Hashim, I share content related to LinkedIn growth and monetisation.

Repost to help your network.

7000 followers didn’t scare me.
Losing engagement did.
A few months ago, my likes dropped by 40%.

Same posting frequency.
Same effort.
Better content (or so I thought).

That’s when I realised something most creators miss:

Engagement doesn’t drop because you’re inconsistent.
It drops because you’ve outgrown your old content.

I made some strong decisions.
1️⃣ I stopped posting for “everyone.”
Visibility is easy. Relevance is harder.
I rewired my content to speak directly to C-suite leaders & creators who want results, not motivation.

2️⃣ I replaced random posts with systems.
Hooks → frameworks → proof → soft CTA.
Every post had a job, not just a message.

3️⃣ I focused on conversion signals, not vanity metrics.
Saves. DMs. Profile clicks.
Those tell you if trust is being built, likes don’t.

The irony?

When I stopped chasing engagement…
Engagement came back stronger and with inbound leads attached.

If you’re posting consistently but feel invisible, your content isn’t broken. It’s just not designed to attract the right people.

If you wanna learn about LinkedIn and monetisation, follow Mohd Hashim
If you want to help your audience, you repost it.

I received an invitation to join an engagement pod.
And I said yes.

I wanted to see how it works
and how they are managing things.

I joined.

And honestly, it felt weird.
🔴 Everyone is sending their posts,
🔴 And everyone is commenting on the links.

My question is:
🟡 You’re commenting 100 times a day.
🟡 That’s not bad, doing more comments is fine.
🟡 But what if you could just join a community
🟡 Instead of an engagement pod?

Why don’t you guys build something sustainable?
🟢 Something where you can share experiences.
🟢 Something where you can teach and learn.

Instead of just chasing more engagement.
🟢 Learn how to make more money.
🟢 Learn how to grow your LinkedIn sustainably.

It takes at least 1-2 minute to leave a comment.
If you do 60 comments a day, that’s one hour daily.

Instead, you could give one hour to a community.
One hour for teaching and learning.

I’m talking about one hour a week.
Use the rest of your time to write better.

Engage with fewer people, but the right ones.
Engagement pods may give you more likes.

🟡 But they won’t give you the skills you need.
🟡 They won’t give you the money you want.

And if LinkedIn suspects you’re using pods
You’re gone.
🟢 You’d be better off stopping the risk
🟢 And starting to build something real.

Drop a comment if you want to join a free community
where you can learn from experts.
No pods. Only knowledge.

I’m Mohd Hashim.
I write about LinkedIn growth and monetisation.

Every creator should learn these 10 things before they start.


1️⃣ Clarity > creativity.
2️⃣ No system = no growth.
3️⃣ Your first 100 posts are practice.
4️⃣ Attention is rented, trust is earned.
5️⃣ Engagement doesn’t equal income.
6️⃣ Likes feel good. Saves build careers.
7️⃣ Your story is an asset, not a weakness.
8️⃣ Consistency beats intensity. Every time.
9️⃣ You don’t need a niche. You need a problem.
🔟 You’re building a brand, not just posting content.

Follow Mohd Hashim for more such content.

Most creators don’t get inbound leads for one reason.

They post about their niche only.

You post about your niche all day.
- Marketing.
- Design.
- AI.
- Fitness.
- Coaching.

But, Your niche doesn’t pay you.

Your ICP does.

And your ICP isn’t waking up thinking:
I hope someone posts another generic tip about this niche.

They’re thinking:
I have a problem. I want it solved. Fast.

That’s where most creators lose the game.

They teach what they know…
Instead of posting what helps their ICP win.

Here’s the framework I use (and teach clients):

1️⃣ Post what helps your ICP today
- Not theory. Not inspiration.
- Practical help they can use this week.

If it doesn’t reduce confusion or save time, it won’t convert.

2️⃣ Share your process (not just opinions)
- Anyone can say “consistency matters.”
- Very few show how they’re consistent.

Processes signal competence. Competence builds trust. Trust creates inbound DMs.

3️⃣ Talk about results, not vague goals
- Helping people grow is invisible.
- Helped a creator get 4 inbound leads with 1,200 followers, is memorable.

Specific outcomes cut through noise.
When you do this, something shifts.

Your content stops attracting peers…
And starts attracting buyers.

If your LinkedIn feels busy but not profitable,
it’s probably not a consistency problem.
It’s a content intent problem.

Which one are you focusing on right now?
help, process, or results?

Follow Mohd Hashim for LinkedIn growth and monetisation.

Your client is already out there, but will they find you or your competitor?

Your ideal client is scrolling LinkedIn right now.
They're looking for help to grow on linkedin.
They have the problem you solve.

But they're not finding you.

Because you're not showing up.

🟡 You write generic content.
🟡 You post once a week only.
🟡 You stay invisible and complain.

Meanwhile, 

🟡 Someone else is building trust.
🟡 Someone else is posting every day.
🟡 Someone else is sharing their process.

And guess who gets the client?

Not the best one
But the visible one.

🔴 Your competitor isn't smarter than you.
🟢 They're just showing up more than you.

Every day you don't post, 
You're choosing to stay hidden.

🔴 Every day you stay hidden, 
🟢 Someone else wins your client.

🔴 The market doesn't reward the best.
🟢 It rewards the most visible.

So the question isn't whether your client exists.
They do.

How many times do you post every week?
