Over the last few years, I’ve spoken to hundreds of working professionals—engineers, designers, analysts, managers, teachers and others.
All from different industries, different backgrounds and even different life stories.
This is the story of every mid career professional
Yet almost everyone tells me the same line:
“I’ve spent 15–20 years learning everything… but I still feel stuck.”
If you are a working professional and you believe you lack skills.
Let me be honest with you.
You do not lack skills.
You have been learning and get ready and leveling up you game but the pace.
The only thing is – the pace of growth in industries, technology, skills and even knowledge is amassing.
You are always falling short of what is expected.
Reason
Your growth of learning always falls short of growth of every other thing.
Let me tell you – you do not lack skills.
You lack strcuture.
Let me explain.
Why You Feel Stuck (Even When You’re Smart and Skilled)
You may not say it out loud, but you feel it:
- A project ends → and uncertainty hits.
- Market changes → and fear increases.
- Layoffs are announced → and your heartbeat shifts.
Deep down, you worry: “What if something happens to my job?”
Not because you’re incapable. Not because you’re underperforming. Not because you aren’t learning enough.
You feel fear because: you are dependent on that one income.
One company. One boss. One decision-maker.
You are not alone placing your entire financial life in someone else’s hands.
It is the biggest hidden risk professionals carry today.
I am saying all this because I dreamt my golden future in the above lines only but reality hit me hard.
I know this because I lived it.
I Lost 4 Jobs in My Career
During my PGDBM in 2005 – One statement got ingrained in me.
“Undercommit over deliver.”
I always lived this. I gave extra hours. I delivered results. I was loyal.
I had my dreams of growth and super growth.
Somewhere I was slow.
Somewhere I was fast.
Still…
One email told me I am out of the company.
One call informed me I am out of the organsation (the bad part – it was 31st December 2023) – Next day was new year.
Everything shifted.
The biggest turning point in my life was the phone call on 31st Decemeber 2023. That’s when I realised enough is enough.
“How can I do something that no one can fire me.?”
This time the blow was hard.
For this organisation I had left the last organisation with lot of hopes and dreams. They always wanted me.
But I joined this one thinking – people have built thier future in this organisation and people are here for years and years.
But still – no safety to save me.
That’s when a painful truth hit me:
Your job can change overnight. Your life should NOT.
Depending on a single system was my biggest mistake.
But something saved me.
The Moment Everything Changed
The good thing before this job since 2017 I had been working on coaching and training model.
I had been helping people in coaching and training domain.
I even gave my support to Wealth Accelerator hub – helping the community with Digital Coaching.
I helped people to launch thier coaching Business.
There was on when I was working in the university in the previous job.
I didn’t quit my job. I didn’t take a big risk. I didn’t “jump into my passion.”
I built one parallel system alongside my job.
The parallel system was my coaching and consulting model.
This system became my safety net, my stability, and my freedom.
It was made of 3 simple parts:
1. A Content System — Built Visibility
In 2017 when I was running my physical coaching Business. I came across Pardeep Goyal and Siddharth Rajsekar.
Pardeep Goyal taught me blogging
Siddharth Rajsekar focused on videos.
Off and on I was focused to create written content to
- share what I know
- show my experience
- become discoverable
I got to understand one thing the formula of VCP (Visibility, credibility and Profitability)
Visibility leads to Credibility
Credibility lead to Profitability
2. A Knowledge System — Built Authority
I converted my experience into:
- frameworks
- explanations
- insights
- processes
I have my CASH model – through which I help people to monetize their expertise.

3. An Income System — Worked Without Time-Trade
When I lost my job on 31st Dec 2023 by god’s grace in the next 30 minutes I had an oppportunity.
I got a call from the owner of the wealth Accelerator Hub asking if I have some time.
As I was in need – I readily said yes.
He told me he would give me his quantum coaching candidates to train and launch.
I did their:
1. Niche Clarity
2. Curriculum Design
3. Social Media branding
4. Launching the digital coaching Business
I also did the personal branding for Wealth Accelartor hub owner Sandeep Gupta on linkedin.
My system included:
- coaching
- digital products
- affiliate income
- consulting
- systems that run without extra hours
All above helped me to survive my job loss and even made more than my job.
This created stability beyond my job.
And because of it, I stopped depending on a salary to feel secure.
The book Antifragile (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
“Fragile breaks under stress. Antifragile grows because of stress.”
Most people operate like glass — one job loss, one recession, one unexpected bill… and everything collapses.
Luckily I had something to make me antifragile.
I Just Stopped Outsourcing My Future
If you think you need to quit your job to start something.
STOP
PAUSE
No.
This is my strategy always even in jobs “don’t quit when you’re scared. You quit only when you’re strong.”
Whenever I had total dissatisfaction from the organisation – I will continue.
I will face the pressure. I will change the winds to the level that if my boss criticized me – “he would start loving me.”
Then I will look for the opportunity and leave. Not when I am the weakest.
In reality also – you do not get job when you need it.
You get a job when you do not need it.
That’s my personal realisation.
Strength comes from systems, not sudden decisions.
I reaslises this truth: “Your stability doesn’t come from your company. It comes from your systems.”
Your company can fire you.
Your systems will not fire you if they are working.
Why You Must Build a Parallel Income System Today
The world is changing fast and we are witnessing the massive disruption:
- layoffs
- automation
- AI
- rising competition
- shrinking job security
- unstable markets
If you are dependent on one paycheck like me – it is a risk.
A small mistake of yours and you are gone.
A change in decision in company and you are gone.
Atleast that’s what happened to me.
A parallel income system gives you:
✔ security ✔ confidence ✔ choices ✔ control ✔ growth ✔ identity beyond your job
It is your financial insurance. Your safety net and Your long-term freedom plan.
You Don’t Need New Skills
You already have:
- experience
- strengths
- knowledge
- results
- stories
- insights
Only your organisation will tell you you need to learn something new to remain viable in market.
In reality you don’t need to learn 50 new things.
You need a way to structure what you already know… and turn it into value for others.
That structure becomes your parallel income engine.
Ready to Build Your System
I know how fearful the thoughts are of feeling replaceable…
If you’re tired of depending on one salary… If you’re tired of waiting for the “right time”…
This is your sign.
