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.

Zaid Ahmed

Most people think posts go viral because of luck.

They think someone just “got picked” by the algorithm.

That’s not how LinkedIn works. Not even close.

LinkedIn is not judging how smart you are.

Or how creative you sound.
Or how long you worked on a post.

It’s judging one thing only.

How people react to your post in the first few minutes.

When you publish something, LinkedIn does not show it to everyone.

It shows it to a very small test group first.

That group decides your fate.

LinkedIn silently watches: 
• Do they actually read
• Do people stop scrolling
• Do they engage, not just like
• Do they comment something meaningful

If people scroll past quickly, your reach stops there.

No comments. Low reading time. Post is dead.

Even if the idea was good.

Read the full post.
But if people pause.
Reply with real comments.

LinkedIn pushes it further.

First to their network.

Then to second-degree connections.
Then momentum starts building.

This is why most posts never take off.

Not because people are bad at content.
But because they open weak.

They talk to everyone.
They say nothing worth responding to.

What I’ve seen work again and again.
On my profile.

And for my clients.

1. Speak to one clear audience, not the whole internet

2. Write an opening that makes people stop scrolling

3. Keep the post easy to read and breathe

4. Share a real opinion or experience

5. Reply to comments fast while the post is active

Likes make you feel good.
Reading time decides everything.
Comments make your post travel.

Virality isn’t magic. It’s mechanics.

Once you understand this, LinkedIn stops feeling random.

If you want the exact structure I use to get reach, comments, and inbound leads consistently.

Comment VIRAL I’ll send it.

Grow your LinkedIn in 60 Days | We Grow Your Brand + Audience and Revenue with Content & DMs

If you’ve been on LinkedIn for months and still don’t have a single client, you’re making a big mistake.

I’ll be very straightforward.

No drama. No motivation. Just truth.

• Reach is useless.
• Views are useless.
• Impressions are useless.
• Compliments on your post are useless.

If you have zero clients, everything else means nothing.

This is a money game, not a popularity contest.

Here’s how clients actually come.

1. Your profile must look premium.

If it looks average, invest money and fix it.

People don’t pay big money to profiles that look cheap or confused.

2. You must DM people, daily.

No excuses.
DM from anywhere.
But target the right geography.

If you want better paying clients,
focus on: 

• US
• UK
• UAE
• Australia
• New Zealand

If you only target India, Pakistan, or Africa, yes you can get clients.

But chances of high pay are very low.

That’s the reality. Ignore it if you want.

3. Post content daily.

Even if you’re busy.
Even if you’re tired.
Even if the post is simple.

You never know which post brings your next inbound.

Consistency beats talent here.

4. Engage every single day.

At least 30 comments daily. Only on your ICP.

Build a commenting list.
100–150 target profiles minimum.

If this sounds too hard, then be honest with yourself. Quit LinkedIn and do a job.

No shame in that.

5. DM daily for 30 days.

No matter what. No breaks. No mood swings.

Do this properly for one month and I guarantee you’ll book 4–5 calls minimum.

This is not magic. This is discipline.


♻️And if you want help with this, I can do it end-to-end.

➞ Profile.
➞ Content.
➞ DM system.
➞ Lead generation.
➞ Brand positioning.

But it won’t be free.

Free seekers please stay away.
This is for people who want results, not motivation.

If you’re serious about getting clients from LinkedIn and want real help, DM me CLIENTS.

No fluff.
Only execution.

I use ChatGPT + LinkedIn to generate 1,000+ inbound leads per day across multiple client accounts.

No ads. No spam. No cringe DMs.

Here’s the exact framework:

1. We don’t post for everyone

• 1 problem.
• 1 outcome.
• We build 1 clear ICP.

Generic content attracts noise.
Specific content attracts buyers.

2. We create “lead-magnet” posts, not viral posts

Every post does ONE job: 

• Trigger pain
• Show proof
• Offer a solution

If a post doesn’t start conversations, it’s useless.

3. ChatGPT is used for thinking, not writing

We feed it: 

• Real client objections
• Real buying questions
• Real sales conversations

That’s how content sounds human.
And converts.

4. Content → Comment → DM system

• Posts create demand.
• Comments filter intent.
• DMs convert interest into calls.

This is where most people fail.
They stop at posting.

5. Everything is tracked

• Which post brings DMs
• Which hook pulls buyers
• Which CTA converts

We double down on what prints leads.
We kill everything else.

This is how you turn LinkedIn into a lead machine, not a content diary.

If you want my exact ChatGPT prompts + LinkedIn lead magnet templates that generate hundreds to thousands of inbound leads,

Comment LEADS
I’ll send the system.

No fluff.
No theory.
Only what actually converts.

I'd call this a $10k question.

And the question is simple. 

But the answer decides whether you grow this year or stay exactly where you are.

Here it is.

Do you actually know what your ideal client wants from you?

Not what you think they want.
Not what you hope they want.
Not what everyone in your niche is posting.

But what they truly want.

Right now. This week. This moment.

Last month I asked this same question to:

• 7 coaches
• 11 founders
• 5 agency owners

Total 23 people.

Do you know how many answered clearly? 

Only 3.

The rest were guessing. And when you guess

➞ Your content gets ignored.
➞ Your DMs get seen but not answered.
➞ Your profile gets visitors but no leads.
➞ Your business grows slow even when you work hard.

That is why I call it a $10k question.
Because when you answer it correctly
your whole growth system changes.

⇢ Your pipeline turns warm.
⇢ Your content becomes sharper.
⇢ Your message becomes stronger.
⇢ Your offer becomes unavoidable.

This is the same clarity I gave my clients
that generated:

• 14 calls in one week
• 3 high ticket closings
• 0 rupees spent on ads
• 27 qualified leads in 14 days

All from understanding one thing.
Exactly what the client wants.

Not noise.
Not assumptions.
Not fancy branding.

Just clarity.

If you are a founder, coach, or agency owner  and you feel like you are doing everything but something is still not clicking

start with this one question.

1. It will save you months.
2. It will save you money.
3. It will save you from posting blindly.


♻️ If you want me to break down the same clarity process that turned guesses into clients for my clients

comment CLARITY.

You will understand why this simple question is worth more than $10k.
